Amazing - Nermeen was amazing. She knew so much history, was amazing with the family, and organized the day perfectly. She was patient, went through things quickly when the kids were fading - all in all our best tour of our trip. She is the perfect guide, and made the day a spectacular history lesson.

Great time! - We had Henry as our guide and we are so pleased we did! He was a super informative and passionate Egyptologist...my husband and I were blown away by the history lessons and the stories shared with us on the tour. We had a driver, thank goodness, and they both did a wonderful job. He even helped take some amazing photos that will be hung on our walls at home. We still think about that day at the pyramids...what an unforgettable day! Thank you Henry! We will visit again one day and hopefully be able to hire you again in Luxor

Amazing Tour - Our tour from Cairo through Viator was amazing. We were met in the lobby of our hotel promptly. We traveled in comfort & safely. Our tour guide, Amgad Ali, was phenomenal. During our drive to the first destination, Amgad gave us an overview of Egyptian history. He was thoroughly knowledgeable, spoke English perfectly, and sensed the pace we needed to absorb the multitude of information. We, truly, feel we got to experience the magnificence of these sites! You won't be disappointed.
Such kind people who count on the tourist industry to thrive. My suggestion is to be as generous as your wallet permits.

Good tour - Tour was ok, guide was friendly and it’s a good way to see the most important sights. but they forced us to go to two separate stores to buy things.

Very cool, average food, difficult accent - Was good to visit all these egypt sites, as it is very interesting. We enjoyed all the site seeing, but our lunch wasn’t nice. I ate the food, but my partner didn’t.
Our tour guide was nice and friendly but his accent made it a bit hard to understand him.
Still recommend to do a tour to visit these places, but maybe organize your own food
