"We met Nesreen for an 'Off the beaten track' tour.
Nesreen was responsive on first communication and from there all ran smoothly. Upon request, Nesreen arranged a driver for the trip and she met us on schedule at the hotel. During the ride Nesreen shared her wealth of knowledge on Egypt and specific anecdotes to our queries and interests.
I was a bit hesitant on being overwhelmed at the bazaar, however, it was everything but as Nesreen guided us effortlessly through the bazaar.
Nesreen has a gentle manner which made the tour relaxed, informative and enjoyable. Overall we had a very good experience and I can recommend Nesreen very highly to anyone seeking an experienced guide for Cairo and Egypt. When we return for the next visit we will definitely seek out Nesreen.

"We spent about 7 hours with Ramses on our very first day in Giza, on which we had a custom tour tailored to our desire to see the Giza Plateau and the GEM on the same day. Ramses is a very knowledgeable Egyptologist and knows pretty much everything about all the dynasties and ancient Egypt. The full visit was packed with information and explanations that were a true pleasure. Ramses has very great communication skills as well as planning skills; thanks to his suggestions, we managed to enter the Khufu's Great Pyramid with virtually no tourists. There was a point where my girlfriend and I were the only two people at the sarcophagus chamber, and I learned that it was a quite rare experience in such a mainstream and important archaeological site. After the morning at the Giza Plateau, we headed to the Great Egyptian Museum, where Ramses made a great and detailed tour of the museum with lots of explanations and detailed stories. (The Tutankhamun wing was just amazing)... as Ramses put it, we felt like kids in a candy shop. Unfortunately, I had only one day available and I had to squeeze as much as possible, because it would have been amazing if I could have spent more time with Ramses and his very deep knowledge of the Egyptian culture. I absolutely recommend his guide, and if you have the chance to have more than one day with him, well, do it! It is just worthwhile. Thank you, Ramses, for the great time together. You truly are a living pharaoh."

Excellent host
"Mohamed is an excellent host. Extremely kind and knowledgable Mohamed planned an excellent and varied itinerary including some real hidden gems.
Mohamed was super easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to help us during our time in Cairo. My only regret was not booking another tour with him as we all agreed the time spent with him was super interesting and enjoyable.
Worth also shouting out the driver Mohamed organised who was also a very kind and welcoming person and drove excellently through the crazy streets of Cairo.
If you're looking for someone to help you make the most of your time in Cairo look no further."
"Tasting the most delicious Egyptian food from the best places in Cairo with Youssef is an experience not to be missed. The range and variety of foods & drinks were perfect. Walking through the streets & alleyways of downtown was wonderful. Youssef is the perfect guide: passionate, knowledgeable, flexible, intelligent, considerate & friendly. Immediately we met I felt relaxed & safe in his company. Thanks to Youssef’s unique style, his great wit & genuine interest in sharing opinions & experiences with his guests, I enjoyed the very best day in Cairo so far. A brilliant, delicious & fun day - just perfect!!!"
"Ramses was a great tour guide to explore Cairo with! He is extremely knowledgeable, and was able to make a very personalized itinerary for us. If you’re looking for a tour guide that has great stories and knows his way around Cairo, I highly recommend Ramses!"

Great local introduction to Cairo!
"Mohamed was so friendly and welcoming. We wanted a more customised tour to see some authentic off the beaten path places like markets and talk to locals and Mohamed took us to some great places where we were able to see local life. He also took us to some of his favourite places to eat and introduced us to Egyptian food. We felt comfortable and safe with Mohamed and it was more like having a good friend to show us around, with many laughs along the way. He also drove us around in his comfortable ac car. Mohamed is a great representation of Egyptian hospitality and culture. Thanks so much!"
