Nasser was our guide. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. It was a fantastic tour and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned and laughed . I recommend this tour with Nasser to all. Thank you, Sir!
This tour was beyond amazing. Nasser and the driver(forgot his name) arrived at our hotel on time. Visiting the pyramids and sphinx was surreal. Nasser is a great photographer and took amazing personal photos of us at the pyramids. We wanted to dine at the 9 pyramids lounge and he graciously waited in the car for 1 hour as my partner and I ate breakfast and took pictures. He personally walked us up to the lounge and asked a waitress to attend to our needs urgently. We extended an invitation for him to join us but he politely declined. The rest of the day ran smoothy as planned. We customized o
The guide Nasser, took me to some local traders where I paid a much higher prices for my goods than I should I have, basically saying these are trusted vendors. Essential oils place charged me 100 usd for 250 mls of essential oils, should cost around 10 to 15 usd. Papyrus institute, charged me 170 usd for 2 painting on Papyrus should cost around 20 to 40 usd. Unfortunately the guides and shops are all in cahoots... which is sad by true. Im writing this so that others don't get scammed by same people in future. And hopefully the guides stop scamming tourists.
This was a special tour for ourselves and our daughter who is based in Egypt. The tour was recommended by one of her friends. The tour allowed us to see many sights in one day making the most of our time in Cairo. Nasser and his driver were exceptional. Nassers knowledge was invaluable and he was extremely kind and respectful and didnt rush us. My wife is a diabetic and he was very considerate of her condition. He brought the tour alive for us and he and his driver enabled us to see the most incredible rock carvings at St Simon Church, which we wouldnt have found on our own. The pyramids were
An excellent experience, the guide Nasser was very knowledgeable and a very pleasant character who made it clear I was the focus of the day. Accordingly we adjusted the schedule to fit with my requirements and when I had had enough -am a lazy tourist, there was no protest about we must see this or we must do that. And when I made it clear at the outset that I wouldn't be at all happy being touted around the sellers of stuff this was never an issue. For me a private tour is the perfect way to spend a day seeing the wonders of Cairo. And Nasser was an excellent guide.
Best tour of three that I have taken here. He will actually take you anywhere, you want to go. Five stars.
