Nice trip in Cairo - Another great day with Usama. We were safe in his company, both on the bazaar and the dining place... Usama was good at explaining us about the important things, and the history both at the museum and at and in the mosque... Our driver was good and had control of the trip, so it all became a good experience.

Egypt Tour 2024 - Without doubt one of the favourite city in Africa ( EGYPT ) Upon arrival on Sphinx Airport we were warmly welcomed Mr. Osama. He was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had four great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Mr. Osama had such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking around Cairo along with their company. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The Pyramid of Giza was an incredible tourist spot i have ever seen plus the atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for Mr. Osama who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Mr. Osama Thanks Osama for your hospitality! Will see you again soon.

Cairo November 2023 Pyramids and boat tour - We had a day trip to the pyramids in Gizeh a papyrus museum, Saqqara and went for a tour with a Felucke boat in the afternoon. Our guide Asmaa taught us a lot of facts about the ancient Egypt. She has a huge detailed knowledge about all the history, which was super interesting. The tour was very well planned and organised, including lunch. Therefore we could get out as much as possible of the one-day trip. We were picked up at eight at the hotel and we’re back at about 5:30 pm.

9 hours of unforgettable impressions! - Outstanding day trip visiting the pyramides of Gizeh and Saqqara, Papyrus manufactory and thereafter a traditional lunch for recharging our body. Finally, a relaxing sunset boat trip with a felucca on the river Nile made this trip perfect . Asmaa, our guide, has an impressive knowldege about the ancient time. It's a pleasure listen to her and trying to dive into history. Our driver was co-operative and get us safely from A to B. Thank you very much for 9 hours of unforgettable impressions!
