Your feedback means a lot—thank you for your kind words! I believe a tour is not only about the places we see but also about the conversations we share, and I’m so glad you enjoyed both.

A great tour guide for Cairo

My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with Kerolos seeing the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Great knowledge and Kerolos delighted in answering whatever questions we generated ! He couldn’t have been more courteous and helpful .

Thank you so much, Mrs. Wendy! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and your sons, exploring the wonders of the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. I’m truly glad you all enjoyed the experience, and it was an honor to be part of such a memorable day. Wishing you and your family all the best in your future travels! Warm regards, Kerolos

Kerolos, a true expert in Egyptology

Kerolos does his job with passion. And you can really feel it. I really enjoyed our day together, from the Pyramids to the Sphinx to The Egyptian Museum. Kerolos also fulfilled my request to explore fragrances and perfumes by taking me to a shop where I had the best ever perfume boutique experience. Enjoy a hassle-free day in Cairo and learn more about the beautiful Egyptian culture, and how different people shaped this country in the past centuries. And there is no question Kerolos is not prepared to answer. A true expert. Cairo is not easy to drive around, so a special thanks also to our driver who made the whole trip so smooth.
