“a disappointing and expensive experience”
i booked 2 days cairo tour package with specific requirements to have a female guide as my young daughter wanted so. The prices offered by this company were 30-40% higher than the packages offered by hotel i was staying , however due to my requirements , i accepted them. Unfortunately this company informed me midnight of previous day they have off loaded this package to some one else and male guide appeared! although he was good knowledgeable guide, we did not wanted him! he was deciding where , when and what we should we eat! he was only interested in taking us to shops to buy carpets, cloths and perfumes which we did not wanted and it was a forceful action and we never wanted to visit them! Basically this company doesn't exists, they catch the customers at higher price and offload to a cheaper company and disappear! i strongly suggest to book your tours in egypt with the hotel so that they know where are going and with whom! its cheap and safe.

“Pyramids of Giza and Step pyramid”
Me and my daughter had an absolutely fantastic experience with our Egyptologist, Sarah, who guided us around the incredible Pyramids of Giza and the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Her knowledge of ancient Egyptian history was truly exceptional, and her passion for the subject brought these remarkable places to life. She shared fascinating insights, stories, and historical details that made our visits all the more memorable. What really made her stand out was her patience, kindness, and thoughtful approach. She allowed us all the time we needed at each site, never making us feel rushed and ensuring we could fully appreciate the history, atmosphere, and significance of these extraordinary monuments. Her expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine care made the whole experience both educational and unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Egypt who wants to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of its incredible ancient history. Thank you for making our visit so special and memorable. Theresa and Rebecca

“3 days in Cairo ”
We have an excellent and enjoyable guided trip in Cairo. Hema and the driver took very good care of us. We felt comfortable and safe. He is very knowledgeable as he has a Master in Egyptian History. It was very educational to hear him describe for us the history of behind the monuments, sculptures, temples, mosques, churches and in particular the New Egyptian Museum which was wonderful. Both guides were so accomodating to our needs and very respectful. They were always on time on pick ups. Hema is fluent in English so that made the experience very enjoyable. We highly recommend this company for your future travel to Cairo. Thank you guys!!
