Bisho was absolutely an amazing guide! He explained everything really well to my children, ages 7 and 10 and answered all their questions. Highly recommend!

While I’m sure the team had good intentions, the tour was severely lacking in professionalism, organization, and safety.

Our guide Ehab was very knowledgeable and was able to give insights into Egyption culture at the museum. We felt 4 hours are bit less to cover the market plus museum given the Cairo traffic. Overall great experience to learn about Egyptian history.

Great safe way to get to the Egyptian museum. My Driver Raafat contacted me soon after booking and let me know he was on his way. Raafat was kind and safe. He dropped and picked me up near the museum at the exact times I asked. Raafat is very knowledgeable about the area and the many tourist sights. I appreciated that he shared and answered questions about the surrounding area on the drive. Raafat was kind, understanding; and respectful when I decided not to go to the bazar (feeling tired) and wanted to go back to hotel. Thank you for the safety I felt so I could go and have a great experience
