Thank you Shady best guide ❤️🇪🇬!!!! - We were lucky enough to have Shady as a tour guide during our stay in Egypt, and honestly, it was an unforgettable experience! From day one, he greeted us with a big smile and a natural kindness that immediately puts at ease. He introduced us to incredible sights: the pyramids of Dashur and Saqqarah, then the next day, the pyramids of Cairo and the Egyptian museum. Shady knows each place by heart and shares her knowledge with passion, patience and humor. What touched us most was his exceptional patience. He waited for us for hours without ever losing his smile, always ready to help us naturally without expecting anything in return and to advise us or just to exchange. He is a really caring and caring person, always with little care. Shady never treated us as just tourists, but really as friends. He introduced us to his city, and allowed us to live authentic moments. Thanks to him, we discovered Egypt from another perspective, more human, more true. We were afraid of being ripped off at first. If you are looking for a passionate, competent, funny, patient and sincerely kind guide, I recommend Shady 1000%! It is much more than a guide, it is a beautiful human encounter that we will never forget. Thank you again Shady for your time, your good humor and your huge heart if I return to Egypt I would come back to him without hesitation.❤️🌞🇪🇬

Nice excursion but... - Great excursion with our guide Ehab and our driver Magdey. They were friendly, helpful, caring and the explanations were clear and documented. We had a great day. Only downside, the contact with their boss who organized: harassment before so that we take more excursions with his agency, scam to charge us more to drop us off at a place that was in the pickup area etc. We are taken (probably with kindness and as with all other trips taken on trip advisor and get your guide) to commercial places catch tourists “discovering local products” at exorbitant prices.
