Reviews
We were fortunate to have Mustafa as our last tour guide in Cairo. We visited some amazing churches and he shared his deep knowledge of their history with us. He was happy to answer all our questions about Cairo in general. Mustafa is very passionate about ancient history. He allowed us enough time to take in the beauty of each site. Our driver Saeed and Mustafa made our last day in Cairo very enjoyable.
Kizu Zanity Mohamed was our guide for 3 day tour of the Pyramids and all the amazing sites he took us. He is so passionate about ancient history and incredibly knowledgeable about Egypt. He was truly a delight to be with. We learned so much. When flew back to Cairo on our last day and Kizu took us to Coptic Cairo which was most interesting.
很棒的旅行！！！ 這是我第一次來埃及。 Zizou對埃及歷史進行了內容豐富的解釋，使這次旅行變得有意義。 強烈推薦參加這次旅行。 它肯定會讓你有機會更多地瞭解埃及。

We had a great two days with this Guide. He is very passionate about history and he was able to transmit his pass to us. If I had to do it again I would definitely hire him as a guide. I recommend him 110%!!!
