Smooth, well‑organized & informative - A wonderful tour taking me back 5 000 years and to the present. My guide was Nour, a highly educated and experienced guide. The 2 days were perfectly planned… Nour was able to answer all my questions and was flexible with timings. I would highly recommend this tour.

Spectacular Knowledgeable Humorous Guide - I was skeptical about taking a guided tour. This gentleman/Egyptologist clearly changed my mind about taking a guided tour again. He is amazing at what he does… I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants to visit and experience Egypt with the best of the best Egyptian tour guides

Perfect just perfect - We had an amazing experience visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx in Giza. Our driver was extremely professional and made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all our questions with great detail. He explained the history in a way that was both fun and informative. We also appreciated the pacing of the tour — we never felt rushed. Visiting these ancient wonders was truly a dream come true, and the whole experience was enhanced by the great team that guided us. Highly recommended! Omar all the way he planned a perfect day

Don't miss this tour when you are in Cairo! - In our trip from Greece we chose to book this tour without knowing what experience it would end being! It overcame even our biggest expectations! In the morning, our driver Ebrahim, picked us up from our Airbnb with the biggest smile and the most kind vibe. We met each other and the journey started. First stop was the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization - an amazing choice to get to know the Egyptian Civilization & culture. The most fascinating thing was the level with the mummies. There is a huge selection of mummies, amazing things to learn see. We had never seen anything like that. When we saw everything, the driver was waiting for us at the begining of the museum and picked us right away. Second stop was the Coptic Cairo area - I think this is a must see especially for greek people like us. It's like a village full of greek - christian churches and places where you can also see a graveyard of only greek people. I didn't know that and it was really moving. We visited the hanging church and we listened even to greek chants. After we stepped inside the church of Saint George (Αρχαία Ελληνορθόδοξος Μονή Αγίου Γεωργίου) in which we say and even wore the chains that St George wore through his captivity and torture. After seeing those we went to buy souvenirs outside the church and - how funny - everyone there new greek. So we shopped and spoke only greek hahaha. Third stop - we wnt to the Cairo Citadel that Salah El-Din built it in 1176 AD. You can see it from a great distance cause its huge !! We went inside and we were lucky enough to even see a wedding there. The inside was amazing, nothing like we have seen before. You can chech at the photos. Last stop - and maybe the most magical - was the St Simon Cave Church (also called St Simon the Tanner Monastery). Its one of the largest churches not only in Egypt but also in the Middle East. It's a church that is build inside a cave. I felt like I travelled to another period of time, can't describe the feeling with words. The things I write above can't describe how kind, polite, heart warming and happy everyone was. Our driver provided everything we needed and even more! Omar, the manager had everything ready for us days before landing so we were always relaxed and sure it would go exactly lke we wnated. Don't try to see all these without a driver, its not possible to see them even in 3 days. We will soon come back and the only thing we will do is give a call to Omar. All the rest will again be amazing, no doubt !
