My guide Manar was super knowledgeable. She studied Egyptology and was very good at bringing thousands of years of history to life. She helped me get great photos of the pyramids. The lunch was AMAZING!!! Our driver was a great guy too. Lovely day. Experience of a lifetime!

Mimo was an excellent tour guide it was like having a personal professor teaching you about history, culture, archeology, food, heritage and more. If he has a class I would sign up because his professionalism and humor made for a perfect balance for a learning experience. He made it fun and easy to retain the information. His excitement was contagious and clearly infectious. Mamud was like a professional driver and we felt very comfortable with him behind the wheel.

Fatima was the best guide we’ve ever had for an international tour. She was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and enthusiastic. She took beautiful pictures of us at the pyramids and was flexible around what we wanted to do. I cannot offer enough praise for what a wonderful guide she was and what an expert driver we had. If you book this tour, ask for Fatima. You will not be sorry.

Such a great tour. Pyramids and Sphinx were amazing. Camel ride was so much fun and is a definite must. There were loads of extra stops like a jewellery shop, perfume/extract shop and Papyrus paper art shop. Local restaurant exceeded all expectations and was easily the best meal we'd had in Egypt. We did the Bazaar really quick because we didn't need anything and it's not my cup of tea to barter with locals about products and prices. Finally the museum was way bigger then I thought and had so many artifacts with the stars of the show being a couple of mummies and King Tuts coffins. All of this was enhanced by our brilliant guide Manar and driver (Didn't catch his name). She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic with perfect English. 10/10 Best day we had in Egypt.

Absolutely amazing day trip in Cairo. We can’t thank Michael enough, he was so knowledgable and welcoming and made our day so enjoyable. The pyramids were a once in a lifetime experience, topped off with a camel ride, trip to the museum and boat ride down the Nile. Lunch was great with a full view of the Pyramids.

Guide and driver (Mimo and Mamut) were very good: knowledgeable, friendly, attentive.
Visiting all described venues, allowing enough time for us to get a good impression, and getting information far beyond the usual "tour guide" presentation . The driver drove carefully and safely; we always felt that we were in good hands. Thank you for that wonderful experience.

He realled flexed our time around the thungs that mattered to us. Loved the chosen shopping places and lunch was yum too. Would highly recommend and ask for Nour, our kids adored him too - he engaged with them so well. Thanks again.

Very rich day in knowledge of Egyptian history with our friendly French-speaking guide who allowed us to visit the essentials. We should have planned a less busy schedule to be able to enjoy each site a little longer.

Our recent trip to Cairo was truly enhanced by the expertise and passion of our guide, Noor. From the awe-inspiring Pyramids and the majestic Sphinx to the vibrant bazaar and the richly historical Cairo Museum, he expertly navigated us through each site.
His knowledge was deep and insightful, bringing ancient histories and local cultures to life in a way that was both educational and engaging. He had an exceptional ability to connect with us, making complex histories accessible and fascinating. Whether explaining architectural details or ancient Egyptian rituals, he did so with enthusiasm and a deep respect for the local heritage.
The guide, Noor, was also incredibly helpful beyond just the historical aspects, providing tips on how to navigate the local culture, recommendations for places to eat, and the best ways to experience the bazaar. His professionalism and warmth made us feel well cared for and added immeasurably to our enjoyment of the trip.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Cairo. He didn’t just show us the sights; he made us feel a part of them. If you’re planning a trip to Egypt, do yourself a favor and book a tour with him—you won’t regret it!
