“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.

It was a pleasure guiding you through the city and ensuring a smooth, hassle-free experience. I also appreciate your kind words about our driver. Wishing you more amazing travels, and I’d be happy to welcome you back to Egypt!
“Excellent tour”
Kerolos was extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and flexible. He was open to changes of plans which were really helpful and focussed on our needs. His ethical behavior ensured that we will definitely ask him to be our guide for future visits to Cairo! Thank you Kerolos!

Dear Mr. Lionel, Your feedback truly warms my heart! It means the world to know I could create a positive and memorable experience for you in Egypt. Your kind words about your experience with me are especially rewarding. It was a pleasure guiding you and your kind family, and I'm honored that you'd consider me for your future adventures in this amazing country!
“A great trip to Cairo”
We did a great 2 day tour with Kerolos and his brother Tony. Kerolos was a very good communicator. He had some good suggestions for the trip, keeping in mind also how long it takes to get from one site to another. We visited the pyramids and the sphinx and on day 2, we visited old cairo, some shops and the museum of culture. Kerolos not only made sure we could visit these sites comfortably and safely, he also told many interesting facts about them. We also loved the many photo opportunities :) Traveling in Cairo without a guide would have been much more challenging as it's a very busy city. Traffic is crazy and normally shopkeepers can be very obtrusive. Kerolos made this experience very pleasant. He arranged a very good driver and kept everybody at bay. A special shoutout to both Tony (the kids loved the conversations with him) and the driver, who got us comfortably through crazy traffic. Thanks Kerolos, for a wonderful experience!
