“Perfect Giza tour”
We completely lucked out having Ereen available for our tour on short notice after she was recommended by friends who used her last year. Her communication and flexibility were excellent, working with our requested schedule and creating the perfect visit. She is extremely knowledgeable with strong English language skills - and a good sense of humor! She went out of her way to accommodate our needs, politely and kindly.

“Knowledgeable and personable - highly recommended”
We were lucky to have Ereen for our family's trip to Giza and GEM, and we could not be more happy. Ereen is very knowledgeable, and is able to speak fluently and detailed about every aspect of ancient as well as modern Egyptian culture, and on top of that, a very nice and sympathetic person. Also, the vehicle she used was spacious and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
