Memorable tailored 2-day excursion nearby Cairo. I had an incredible experience with the agency owner Isra, my private guide Wahba and the driver Mohammed. As I had limited time but wanted to explore as much as possible, Isra arranged an itinerary that included visiting the Giza pyramids and Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, Tahir Square and then the Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshour day experience. I was solo traveling and it was a great decision to arrange airport/hotel transfers and the excursions which were fun. Very grateful to the whole team.

We found this agency randomly and we were not sure to what expect: it has been amazing, profesional and punctual: Esraa our guide was very attentive to our needs and wishes, giving us the right explanations and guiding us perfectly. We traveled with our 2 kids and adapted to their pace in a nice mini van with all comfort. Always good advices, spot for pictures (she took amazing photos by the way), we fully recommend their services to visit Egypt.

Excellent!!! I could not give any higher praise for Esraa!! She was fun and flexible and knowledgeable. She brought ancient Egypt alive while answering our questions about modern day Cairo as well. Our entire family had a great time and we will be back and we will ONLY be booking with Esraa!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Esra is a true professional, exceptionally courteous and very friendly. She gave us literally one of the BEST days in cairo, giza and saqqara. She is so knowledgeable and you simply have so much to learn from her. She can design tours to your liking and definitely hands down someone made for the job of a tour guide. You will always feel exceptionally safe and in good hands. I would give her 300 stars if I could.
