Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We booked Ramses for three days in order to make the most of our three days in Cairo. He was an outstanding tour guide. He was with us all day for three days and took care of everything we needed. While at the pyramids it felt like we were the only ones there. He knew the exact routes to take in order to give us the best experience. I can’t recommend him enough. We have a friend in Egypt now for life and can’t wait to go back. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!"
"Ramses has incredible knowledge of Cairo’s history and great perspective on life in the city today. It very quickly felt like we were being shown around by a friend. Stopped for Egyptian coffee and conversation before heading deep into the old city, wrapping up with a delicious lunch. Highly recommend. "
"Don’t hesitate to choose Ramses for your Cairo (or other areas in Egypt) touring adventure… We hired Ramses for two days and the knowledge he was able to share is amazing, and his tours are fun and cater for everyone. The driver was also fantastic, and was always waiting for us on return. Scott & Debbie (Melbourne, AUSTRALIA) "
"We had such exceptional adventures with Ramses. He is an Egyptologist, historian and a very caring and knowledgeable trip leader. We met as customers and left as friends. He tailored our adventures by listening to the things we were most interested in seeing. He always took such good care of us. We felt comfortable and completely safe. We booked private adventures with Ramses. He navigated each day remarkably. We can’t sing his praises enough."
"Naira was very kind and tried everything to fullfill our interests."
"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!"
"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."
"We had a group of 6 that booked a food tour with Nana. The tour not only included food, but a wonderful cultural immersion into the lives of the Egyptian people! Nana is a wonderful person that's full of knowledge. We could have spent every day of our trip in Egypt learning from her. Definitely book her! "
"Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Zeit mit Nana in Kairo. Sie hat uns ihre Stadt jenseits der Touristenmassen gezeigt. Sie ist toll auf unsere Kinder eingegangen und wir hatten einfach unglaublich viel Spaß. Wir sind wirklich viel gereist, aber das Erlebnis mit Nana war eines der besten aller Zeiten!"
