“Amazing experience and real friend! ”

Aton was such a great guide and friend to us! He picked us up promptly at 7:30 from our hotel and drove us to the Pyramids, telling us facts about Cairo, the Nile and Egypt along the way. The tour around the pyramids was perfect and really insightful. Nothing was too much effort, and it was really our days. Anything we wanted was possible. We asked to stop for coffee prior to tour and he sat with us relaxing in the sun. Before our trip I asked that we wanted to organise a camel ride so after the pyramids he took us to the camels which were so fun! We changed our plans a few times during the day, including asking for a tour of the Great Egypt Museum which he accommodated no problem. He then dropped us back to a Koshary food spot in Cairo. Thanks for an amazing time, Aton. Hope to see you again!

Thank you, Harry, from the bottom of my heart for all your kind comments. I hope to see you again in Egypt. Sunny regards, Aton

“Great Navigator through Cairo”

I had a good experience with Aton. I wanted a guide that would move at my fast pace. I wanted to accomplish a lot in very little time and we were able to do it. I had used AI like chat gpt and gemeni to figure out what I wanted to see and Aton quickly directed me to the correct areas of the museum. He took me to an amazing local clean and reasonably priced sea food restaurant that I would have never been able to enjoy without him. He also helped me plan ahead by telling me what tickets to buy online etc. All around good local partner to have with you while traveling through Cairo.
