Wonderful company and guide - It was a wonderful personally curated tour for my family and I by Pharaonic Vision Tours. They put efforts in designing the itinerary and then guide well with very good knowledge. Our guide Shady was super knowledgeable and made sure to provide all the information nicely throughout the tour. Very helpful nature and definitely recommend both the company and the tour guide for a wonderful experience.

A great tour ruined by a tour guide - We visited Grand museum in Cairo, Coptic and Islamic Cairo along with other historic places in Cairo. While the places are awesome and enriched with historical events, we couldn't enjoy the trip much because of our tour guide - Ersa Mostafa. She was rushing us in each place and wasn't able to explain the history properly. She was rushing us so much in the Grand Museum that we couldn't see the Tutenkhamun's gallery property. Her whole intention was to finish the visit quickly and take us to the shops and bazaars. I wouldn't recommend to book this tour guide.

Poor Guide, Good Driver - First, our driver Mustafa was great. He arrived early, drove safely and was always in the correct location. However, our guide Raina was 20 minutes late, so we sat outside the gates doing nothing. She didn’t provide very many interesting facts, and unfortunately wasn’t proficient at English, as everything was repeated like 3-4 times which totally takes you out of the experience. She insisted on taking like 10 photos of us. So whenever we got to a location, we spent time taking photos for her. At one point we were just sitting in the back of the car and she was taking selfies, and demanded that we smile for her photos, so we had to retake them multiple times. When we arrived at the synagogue she urged us to skip it. When we said we’d like to see it, she obliged, but only gave us negative comments about Jews. When we arrived at entrances, she just quickly went way ahead of us and didn’t provide any help entering, this was because she wasn’t a licensed guide. She later told us to just pretend we were friends, because of ‘issues with her license’. We never visited the Al Rifai Mosque, which at that point we were fine with it, because we just wanted it to be over, but it was in the agenda. We had Mustafa take us to the Khan el Khalili and we ended our tour there.

Definitely avoid - A complete disappointment. Pharaonic Vision Tours had a very poor communication system and did not respond to emails in a timely manner. The accommodation they provided us was extremely dirty and unhygienic and the food was of very poor quality and smelly. We have never had such a disappointing experience in our lives. Definitely avoid.
