“Visit to the Pyramids”
Sarah organized our Pyramids visit and found us an excellent guide. Professional, punctual, and so knowledgeable about Giza - we learned so much more than we would have on our own. Everything was smooth and hassle-free, from pick-up to entry. We could just enjoy the moment. Highly recommend Sarah if you want a well-organized Pyramids experience with a great guide. Thank you Sarah!

“A perfectly organized 4-day tour with an excellent tour guide (german speaking).”
Sarah planned and organized a 4-day tour for us. We communicated in English. Sarah responds very promptly and reliably. She did an excellent job of incorporating our special requests. Everything was perfect. Once we arrived in Cairo, we had a young and absolutely wonderful tour guide named Youssef. He accompanied us for all four days and explained everything to us in German. Every day, we went on tours in a comfortable car with very friendly drivers. Youssef was also very considerate of our three children, so they really enjoyed the excursions. Everything was perfect, and we had some wonderful, eventful days together with Youssef in Cairo. Thank you so much for everything!

Dear Andreas, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m really happy that you and your family enjoyed your time in Cairo and had such a great experience with the tour guide I arranged for you. It means a lot to me to know that everything went so well. Wishing you and your lovely family all the best, and I hope to welcome you back to Egypt someday!

“Customized tour went as planned”
As I am interested in history, Sarah helped me coordinate a custom all-day visit to Saqqara and Dashur featuring the sites that I had requested. After months of detailed planning, due to events out of her control, she was unfortunately unable to guide the tour that day. Sarah arranged for an exprienced Egyptologist and excellent guide to cover for her. Ibrahim led us through the detailed itinerary, provided a wealth of information, took us to a tomb not on my itinerary but one he thought i needed to see based on my interests, and ensured we stayed on schedule. Sarah maintained contact with me throughout the day to ensure that everything was going as we had planned. Sarah's dedication to guarantee that my tour went as planned is exemplary.

Dear Ben, Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad I could help organize a tour tailored to your interests, and I’m happy that all the planning and coordination paid off. It was a pleasure making sure everything went smoothly for you!
