Amazing experience with Safy! She’s very knowledgeable and her love for the animals adds an entirely different experience to the tour. It was very sweet to see the dogs run up to her like they knew she was coming! I highly recommend touring with Safy and a pro tip is to pack some treats for the dogs!
This tour is a must! I highly recommend it! Safy is very knowledgeable, you can tell in the way she explains and takes your through the sights how much she loves her country, it's a labor of love for her. A part of the money goes to help strays and I love this! Part of the reason I chose her tour. You will get lunch in a paradise setting, the place we ate was so beautiful and peaceful! You cannot miss this!
Private tour, very knowledgeable guide with a love of local animals. We had a good day exploring the sites and lunch was in a beautiful location on a local farm. We managed to miss larger tour groups in the afternoon which was a bonus when climbing in and out of pyramid shafts.
A realy great day. Thanks for all the visits, the clear explenations and the friendly moments. I strongly recommend.

I’m glad to have a tour that didn’t drive you to factories with the expectation that you buy something. We never got to meet Safy but there are many reviews of her on here that you can read.
Sofy was my favorite tour guide on my 9 day trip to Egypt! She is very kind, knowledgeable, and does not rush. These sites were amazing to view from the inside and out.

She is very familiar with these sites and can read the hieroglyphs well enough to thoroughly teach us while we toured! After the historical sites, she took us to a farm for the meal - highly recommend this part too. All the food is made on site and they give you a short farm tour. She includes no pressure to buy items, shop stops, etc. Her c
