Our guide, Ibrahim, arrived on time to our hotel, and we immediately went to the museum of Egyptian Antiquities. We arrived shortly before they opened and were first in line so we could get in before the museum got too crowded. He then took us to specific rooms and exhibits of special importance in the museum.

Ahmed and his driver picked my wife and I up from our hotel. We then spent a delightful and incredibly informative 7 hours with Ahmed touring several sights. Ahmed’s knowledge regarding Egyptology was incredible, plus, his enthusiasm to teach us about the history and culture of Egypt made this tour by far the best we went on in Egypt. The Egyptian Museum, Citadel, mosque and Coptic churches were all worthwhile sites to visit. Included in the tour price was lunch, we went to Abou Tarek for koshary. The food and service were both wonderful. To summarize, we enjoyed the tour, especially with Ahme

Very informative and enjoyable trip. Best way to cover all the ground. Anan made the trip very easy and was a pleasant and helpful companion. We are a family of 4 (all adults).

Anan gave interesting and through descriptions of all the places we visited and she is an engaging person to talk to.

Hussam was knowledgeable, professional, extremely friendly! He communicated with me before our tour and was punctual on the day. I learned so much from him as he is a very talented guide! Cairo is not an easy place to move around. In my opinion, you will need someone trusted to help you getting around this grand city. I highly recommend this tour!

Our guide Ahmed was very nice 👌 We had a great time. We visited the catacombs, the library, the fortress from outside, St-Mark's optic church and had lunch (fish). Happy with Ahmed's service.
