“Unforgettable two-day tour in Cairo”
We booked our first tour with Waleed to visit Giza pyramids and Saqqara. He was very supportive and flexible. Our magical tour guide, Ahmed, picked up us from our hotel with a private car and amazing driver, Nabeel. We visited the Giza pyramids in the morning where Ahmed explained to us the ancient history of Egypt and guide us through the site. He is very kind and knowledgeable. Our kids liked him and enjoyed the tour very much. After lunch, we went to Saqqara. It was amazing and Ahmed made it more momerabl for us with his explanation and showing us the highlights of the sites. We recommend Ahmed highly. After our first amazing day, we booked our second day to visit GEM and the citadel with them. Mina is our tour guide for the second day. Mina is very knowledgeable and showed us the highlights of the museum and told us the stories behind them. Without him, visiting the museum would have been overwhelming. We learned so much. Mina engaged our children, and kept them cheerful and interested in the ancient Egypt history and the museum. After having a stop for lunch in a local restaurant, we visited the citadel of Saladin, where Mina explained the history and the stories of the mosques and the jail. We recommend the team, they are deeply informative, patient, kind and know how to cater to all ages.

“Eine 100% Empfehlung!”
Unser Tagesausflug nach Kairo mit Bishoy war phantastisch. Bishoy ist ein fröhlicher und freundlicher Guide der mit großer Begeisterung und Leidenschaft über die Geschichte und Kultur Ägyptens berichtet. Er konnte all unsere Fragen beantworten und konnte auch unsere Kinder für die Geschichte Ägyptens begeistern. Wir haben ihn während unserer Tour als äußerst zuverlässig und pünktlich erlebt, er war extrem motiviert und hat flexibel und unkompliziert alle unsere Wünsche ermöglicht. Wir können Bishoy wirklich sehr empfehlen!
