Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Nesreen was fabulous, great communication in advance, turned up on time and had water for us! We selected an early morning tour, which worked very well to avoid the crowds. Nesreen gave us an amazing overall experience, including a private tour of a small tomb which we'd never have found ourselves. She even helped us get our Grand Egyptian Museum tickets sorted for the following day. Highly recommended!"
"We spent the morning with Moustafa on a private four-hour tour of the new Grand Egyptian Museum, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our time in Cairo. From the moment he met us, he carried himself with a level of professionalism that immediately put us at ease. He was punctual, well-prepared, and clearly experienced in guiding visitors through a museum that is still new to most travelers. What impressed us most was how smoothly he handled the entire visit. He knew exactly where to take us, how to avoid unnecessary crowds, and how to explain the major pieces without overwhelming us. His commentary was clear, thoughtful, and practical. He gave context when needed but also allowed space for us to take it all in. It never felt rushed, and it never felt padded. It was simply a well-run, high-quality tour. Afterward, he drove us to the Great Pyramid Inn for a mixed grill lunch, and this turned into a highlight of the trip. We were seated with a direct, almost surreal view of the Sphinx and the Pyramids—something you do not forget. The restaurant was a smart choice on his part, and it showed he was thinking not just about the tour but about the whole experience of the day. Throughout the entire outing, Moustafa was courteous, steady, and genuinely attentive. You can tell he takes pride in his work. He made the logistics easy, the explanations meaningful, and the day itself memorable. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who wants a knowledgeable, dependable guide who understands how to deliver a truly satisfying Cairo experience."

"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."
"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 had a wonderful experience with Nesreen visiting the Pyramids at Giza. She was very knowledgeable, good fun and helpful with information for visits we were planning for other days."
"Nesreen is outstanding in every way. So warm & friendly, we felt a connection with her immediately. She is extremely knowledgeable & intelligently communicates a unique learning experience with enthusiasm & fun, making the Egyptian history in the Museum accessible & memorable. We loved every minute with her in the Egyptian Museum. Then she went “above & beyond” introducing us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch & even helping us get an Uber to go back to our hotel. It was more like spending quality time with a friend than a guide. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nesreen is the BEST!!!"
"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!!!"
"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!"
"Moustafa is passionate about sharing the history and culture of his country. He quickly was able to sense our level of knowledge and take it a step higher. He was also sensitive to our needs and helped us navigate easily through the throng of crowds the last day of the Tut Mask exhibit. Willing to work with you. Highly appreciated."
"Ramses XII was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, personable, and hilarious! He made the experience incredible and so welcoming! The food stops were a delights as well! "
