"I booked Ramesis based on his really good reviews online, and he really lives up to it. Excellent knowledge, lovely character and exceptional hospitality, he brings out the best of the lovely Egyptian people. Please book with confidence "
"Maga was fantastic. His knowledge of the area and it's history was beyond what I could have imagined. He was a genuinely nice person and was a real pleasure to have a tour with. "
"Nesreen was very communicative so we knew exactly where to meet well in advance and the logistics were all very smooth. She took us to the ‘classic’ exhibits and to some less well-known things, explaining how the history progressed from old to new kingdoms and providing context and insight. Overall we had a great tour and got so much more from the experience than we would have done had we gone on our own or with a large group. Thanks Nesreen! "
"We went on the food tour in Cairo just before starting a Nile cruise. Mohammed was a great guide…puntual at picking us up at our hotel, and a joy to be with. We visited 3 separate establishments to taste a variety of foods, including Koshary, Hawishi, Kofta and more. His contacts where we ate gave great explanations and offered us much information.
Would definitely recommend. It lasted 3 hours from start to finish. Our only complaint was that there was too much food!"
"For anyone heading to Egypt, whether it’s your first visit or returning, do yourself a favor and book Moustafa. No need to look further. He completely enhanced our experience, and the day we spent with him was easily the best day of our entire trip.
Moustafa is the real deal. He makes you feel instantly comfortable and taken care of. He’s warmly kind-hearted, funny, on-time and beyond knowledgeable about everything from ancient mythology to modern politics, and everything in between. He is the best of local experts who listens, connects, and tailors the experience to you.
In Egypt, we learned that accessing the best locations (and often safety) depend who you’re with. And Moustafa knows everyone. Whether it was getting into the most iconic sites with zero hassle, avoiding tourist traps, or just feeling safe and respected in every interaction—we had that because of him. The locals clearly know and respect him, and that respect extended to us in ways we didn’t expect but really appreciated.
On top of all that, he knows where to find truly the best photos, better than you’d dream of. And the best Egyptian food! Everything was clear, transparently priced, and flexible. No pressure, just good energy.
He’s also an amazing storyteller. He brought ancient Egypt to life in a way that felt personal and relevant, with connections to world history that made us see things differently. He clearly loves what he does, and you can feel his passion.
We cannot recommend Moustafa strongly enough. Plus, a special thanks to our excellent and friendly driver who took care of us from the very beginning to the very end of the tour!
Thank you again Moustafa for an unforgettable day."
"We had an amazing time with Moustafa. He took us to a ton of cool spots in Cairo that we would not have seen otherwise. He was incredibly knowledgable and friendly as well. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to explore the city."
"Abdallah is not only a very nice and professional guide but also very kind man. Because our fly was cancelled and we had to fly later he reorganize the schedule and come to pick up us directly at the airport. Thank you! Hope to see you soon."
"This was our second tour with Nesreen and it was excellent. She helped us navigate this big museum and avoid the crowds. She gave us time to enjoy the exhibits and taught us a lot in a fun and interesting way. Nesreen was excellent with my teenage kids and very caring when one wasn’t feeling well that day and adjusted the tour to suit our needs. She also helped us so much by booking a restaurant for later in the day and giving us countless tips and ideas for the rest of our stay! "
"Nesreen is a total professional tour guide! We mixed up and went to the wrong meeting place for the start of the tour but she collected us and got the tour back on track! She is extremely knowledgeable and very informative but able to explain history in appropriate ways that our teenager twins really enjoyed and found entertaining! She took brilliant photos of our family and helped us have a fantastic day by organising camel rides and showing secret view spots! We have already booked our next tour with her and are really looking forward to meeting her again! Highly recommended! "
"Nesreen was truly exceptional, bringing history to life with deep knowledge and passion. With every site we visited, she shared fascinating stories that made the experience truly remarkable . I strong recommend her ! "
