“Mena - Fantastic, Superb, Knowledgeable ”
Great two days with the best ever tour guide / Egyptologist. A very knowledgeable and happy lady who taught us a lot, not only historical information but general information about Egypt and especially Cairo. The site visits were well planned. The driver was also very good and the minibus comfortable. Anybody considering arranging a professional and fun guide for Cairo or wider Egypt should definitely, definitely book Mina.

Dear Bill & Christine, Thank you so much for these amazing and generous words! It truly means a lot to me. I’m very happy that you enjoyed the tours and that you felt comfortable and well taken care of during the two days. It was a real pleasure spending this time with you and showing you Cairo and its history. Wishing you all the best and I really hope to see you again one day in Egypt!

“Very informative and enjoyable day”
A great day although Menna was suddenly not able to take us but arranged for a colleague Mahmoud to substitute for her. Saqqara was awesome and Mahmoud very knowledgeable about it all. Ditto Giza but more tourists there than Saqqara. Totally recommend getting your own guide rather than a group tour or diy. Thanks Menna and Mahmoud
Menna S.
Dear Martin, Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m really happy you enjoyed Saqqara and Giza, and I’m glad Mahmoud took good care of you. Sorry again I couldn’t be there myself, and thank you for your understanding. Wishing you and your wife all the best in your travels. Warm regards, Menna
