Customizable Private Tours with Local Tour Guides

“Excellent Egyptologist with strong connections – unforgettable Dahshur & Saqqara day ”

I booked Aly for a deeply meaningful visit to Saqqara and Dahshur on my birthday, and overall I had a very memorable experience. Aly is knowledgeable, well connected, and clearly has long experience working in these archaeological areas. His strength is that he is not just a guide reading from a script — he has real relationships with guards and because of that we were able to access areas and tombs that I would not have known about or been able to arrange alone. The Dahshur pyramids were incredible, and the Red Pyramid interior was one of the highlights of my entire trip. Aly also went out of his way to make my birthday special. He arranged a lovely lunch, and surprised me with a birthday cake and even an Egyptian band at the restaurant. As a solo traveller, this meant a lot and made me feel celebrated. One thing I would advise future travellers is to clarify in advance whether the tour is strictly private/solo if that’s what you are intending, as my tour ended up including three other travellers. They were lovely people and Aly did compensate by including lunch, but I had originally booked and paid for a solo experience, so I would have preferred to know ahead of time rather than being asked on the spot. Overall, I would definitely recommend Aly if you want a guide with deep local access, strong organisation, and a very full day of ancient sites — especially Memphis, Saqqara and Dahshur

“Fujiko is a lovely guide who gave me a great tour of Sado Island!”

Fujiko is not only knowledgeable about Sado but also very kind and warm-hearted. After joining a tour with Fujiko, I feel as though I have a much better understanding of Sado from the perspective of someone born and raised on the island. Through my tour, I could see how the community of locals on the island is very close, as we came across many people who shared a friendly exchange with Fujiko and offered me a warm welcome. Fujiko also introduced me to a delicious restaurant where I could enjoy seasonal fish and meet her cousin. She also went out of her way to give me a chance to taste other treats made by others on the island trying to revitalize the local community. I hope to visit Sado again in the near future to see and experience more of the community!

“A Fabulous Day with a Fabulous Guide!”

Today we spent the day in Hiroshima with our fabulous guide, Hugh Cann. Hugh met us promptly on time at the terminal building at 8:30 am. He took us by a car to the peace memorial Park where the atomic bomb was dropped. Hugh is Australian living in Japan; he speaks Japanese fluently and is incredibly knowledgeable about both the culture and his subject which is tourism. We spent several hours exploring the park and trying to come to terms with the horror of what that represented. Next Hugh took us to lunch in one of his favourite restaurants. It was great fun and we enjoyed a delicious Hiroshima specialty called Okonomiyaki. After lunch we went to a very beautiful & (lesser known) temple called Miyaki - Dara. The gardens (even in winter) were spectacular We thoroughly recommend Hugh for a truly enjoyable, informative and different experience of the delightful city of Hiroshima.
