“Tour estupendo en Giza con Amir”
Tuvimos un día super completo con Amir. Supo contarnos un montón de cosas sobre Giza, Memphis y Saqqara :) A la tarde comimos en un restaurante de buffet con comida típica y todo estaba de rechupete! Gracias Amir, un 10/10 We had a fantastic day with Amir. He told us so much about Giza, Memphis, and Saqqara :) In the afternoon, we had lunch at a buffet restaurant with typical local food, and everything was delicious! Thanks, Amir, 10/10!

“Wonderful experience with Esraa ”
It was an absolute pleasure working with ESRAA, an exceptionally professional and experienced Egyptologist tour guide. Her team was punctual, organized, and highly compassionate throughout the entire experience. They went above and beyond to accommodate our father, who is disabled and required additional planning, assistance, and extra time for transportation and navigating inside the museum. Their patience, kindness, and attention to detail made the tour comfortable and enjoyable for our whole family. ESRAA’s knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care truly made this a memorable experience, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone visiting Egypt.
