Reviews
Our tour guide Ibrahim did an amazing job explaining and taking pictures of our special experience. This guide helped us understand everything about Egypt including its history and historical figures.
Marco and Badr, was an exceptional tour guide and driver, they both paid attention to our needs, and made sure every detail was taken care of. We appreciate the fact that Marco has a wealth of knowledge about the artifacts in the Museum, temples, churches, and the cities as well, and great photographer he is. Thank you Marco for a wonderful fun day!
Marco was a knowledgeable, friendly courteous guide. He was thoughtful and anticipated our needs. He had a wealth of knowledge of the sites we visited. Marco also gave great advice on picture taking and which sites and angles worked best for photos. Would highly recommend him!
Marco was a great guide. He was knowledgeable and made sure we got good deals. Badr was a good driver. I am from US and would book again.
Marco (Polo) is an extraordinary Egyptologist and a great navigator for the greatest Egyptian driver of all time Mohammad Ali. Both of these men went above and beyond from throughout our tour of Cairo. My wife and I highly agree that you only request this combination when booking a tour in Egypt.
Marco was great! Highly recommend him as a tour guide. His knowledge about ancient Egypt was very easy to understand. He has developed a lot of local contacts and is highly respected. He also knows where the unique sites are.
