A wonderful day in Cairo - We are lucky to have Mimo as our guide. He contacted us ahead of time, made meeting time and place crystal clear. He tailored our sightseeing agenda in a perfect way - we visited the pyramids, GEM, Halili square and river Nile in 8-hour layover day! What an experience - thank you Mimo!

Awesome day trip well worth experiencing - My guide and driver were extremely friendly and they made everything about me on the day. Their local knowledge was amazing. I got to visit the Pyramids, Ride a camel around them as well as visiting the Sphinx, Paper, Scent & Jewellery factories. After that we experienced an Egyptian lunch. As I was lucky enough to share a birthday with my guide, she even shared her birthday cake at lunch with me, something I found very special. After lunch we visited the museum, the guided tour they provided was fantastic. I would highly recommend this company, nothing was an issue and at the end of the day they presented me with a small gift for my birthday 🩷 do not hesitate to book a tour, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Citadel review - Omar our guide in Cairo took us to the Citadel and old town, visiting churches. We learnt a lot about the religion in Egypt and how it accepts all the different views. Omar is very knowledgeable but also very good at taking pictures and videos for us to have very good memories of our trip in Egypt. We had an amazing time with him and it made us like Egypt more.

I was in Cairo for just a... - I was in Cairo for just a couple days and wanted to see the pyramids and sphinx, visit a museum and bazaar, etc. I booked this tour based on the positive reviews, and had a truly fantastic day. My guide Zeinab and driver Peter were wonderful. Zeinab was full of history and useful info, was amazingly helpful, and knew people everywhere we went. We got to the pyramids early while it was still relatively cool and not crowded. Camel ride was fun! As was the rest of the day which was full of activities, including visits to some "official" government stores (which were great). I don't write many reviews, but wanted to share how really fantastic this experience was, esp due to Zeinab and Peter.

Exceptionally beautiful trip in Cairo. Special thanks and gratitude to Miss Manar👍🏾 - Miss Manar Atwa was my guide and she was honestly the best. She was very knowledgeable on the histories of Ancient Egypt and I think that was exceptional. She was very kind and friendly too. I mostly enjoyed her kindness when she carried food for the dogs staying around the pyramids and in the desert. I truly had a great time in Cairo. Special thanks to you Manar❤️

Great tour, great guide - My 22yo daughter and I had the best day ever: pyramids, camel ride, museum tour, local flair including lunch and a stop at the open air bazaar. The best part was our guide, Manar. She really made it special with her thorough knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization and how that ties to subsequent evolutions - even sprinkling in some current events. She was a friend of ours within 5 minutes of meeting her. When she learned we had only limited time the following day and needed to get to the airport, she arranged all of that for us. So we got to see the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Citadel and Muhammad Ali mosque, and take a boat ride on the Nile - none of which we would have done without her helping us out. Her love of the dogs of Giza was heartwarming and she helped deflect beggars and others as best she could when we were in the bazaar and other more open areas. This tour is a 10/10 and if you get Manar it’s a 12/10.
