A full day private tour of the ancient Egypt, well presented with respect to the nature. Mahmoud Hoka, our tour guide was well educated, knowledgeable, friendly, and a great photographer, while our driver was efficient and careful on the crazy roads of Cairo. We started with a peaceful camel ride around the panorama of Giza, then walked through the great pyramids and the sphinx with lots of storytelling regarding the monuments. We took a break by having a buffet lunch in a very nice restaurant before we head to the new Grand Egyptian Museum. It is simply incredible, our guide Mahmoud knowing t

Islam and Imam were excellent guides. Islam is exceptionally knowledgeable, thoughtful, and focused on facts. He also did a great job keeping us on schedule without making the experience feel rushed. My partner and I felt safe and respected by him. Also lunch was buffet style and very tasty. We appreciated Islam's candid insights and would gladly recommend him.

Islam was an amazing guide and the tour was amazing and informative the pyramids have a new system so it has less scams. Very little harassment that we had been warned about And it’s a good traditional lunch Interesting visit to a perfumery . There was little pressure to buy although we did .

Today we had Fatima as our wonderful and amazing guide. I have been on dozens of tours all over the world and I can without a doubt say this was the most special and it was thanks to her. She was extremely knowledgeable and each and every one of her stories or points was very intriguing. She felt like a friend to myself and my partner for the day and we had many laughs about all sorts of things. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a guide and was sad that our day was over. She was also an incredible photographer and captured so many amazing moments for us. Thank you for the amazing day Fat
