The guide, Nada, was terrific. Highly educated, excellent English, and very welcoming. The experience was well-organized with a series of stops, time for shopping, and a decent lunch.

We had a layover tour of Cairo with Mahmoud Hoka as our guide and it was fabulous! We landed at 6am, he greeted us outside & we were off to the pyramids! Mahmoud took fabulous pictures for us. He was very knowledgeable of Cairo, helped us with vendors, and was so pleasant. We rode the camels, touched the Great Pyramid, and had lunch in Cairo. Mahmoud Hoka was a wonderful guide! Highly recommend the layover tour and Mahmoud Hoka!

Really enjoyed the tour. Felt the Pyramids and Museum were a bit rushed. Spent a lot of time in shops. While we enjoyed the shops and never felt pressured we just would have appreciated more time on the main events. Also was not happy with the distance from the Sphinx but apparently to get close it’s around $2k.

My friend and I did the full day trip with Mohamed Elshemei. He was the best tour guide one could ask for. He took us to several places including the pyramids, museum, markets. He was very patient and took amazing pictures of us. He is also very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the Egyptian culture

We had an amazing tour with Mohamed Elshemeid. He is very knowledgeable, we learned lots with him about the history of the pyramids, in the Egyptian museum and overall about Egypt. He was very friendly and a great tour guide to have. We definitely recommend him.

We had our tour with Mahmoud Hoka and he was just incredible. It was the most enjoyable touristic day. Exactly what you want around Cairo. We took it at our pace and he was so respectful and engaging. He has so much knowledge and both the pyramids and the museum were so fun. We couldn’t stop chatting. We took pics with him and rode camels with legitimate owners. Cannot recommend more!!!! Will tell all our friends to ask for him and book through this tour company!

Our trip with Mahmoud and his very capable driver was excellent. Mahmoud is very knowledgeable and gave us all of the information that we needed on our visit to the Pyramids and Sphinx. From there we visited a perfume oil manufacturer and then on to lunch. Lunch was first class and included in the cost only drinks cost extra. We declined the papyrus manufacturer as we had been to one before and went on to the Museum. Mahmoud took us through the museum and told us about all of the artefacts that were on display that were relevant as we could not have included all. We were offered a trip to a market but elected for a drive through as we were exhausted by then. We also declined the camel ride around the pyramids as we preferred to walk around them. This was accepted by Mahmoud and he took us where we wanted. I thoroughly recommend this trip as it was first class quality as well as informative. We are both in our seventies yet the pace was perfect for us.

This private tour was such a perfect way to see the pyramids, Egyptian museum, and the bazaar in one day! Fatima was such a knowledgeable guide, and was able to accommodate our specific interests so that we could spend more time in the pyramids and at an authentic Egyptian oil store. The provided lunch was also a delicious buffet of traditional Egyptian/middle eastern food. We even saved the location so we can go back the next time we’re in Cairo. Fatima was even able to recommend us plenty of things to do for the rest of our time in Egypt, including restaurants, landmarks, and even other tour companies that we could trust. We would absolutely recommend this tour and Fatima to anyone visiting Cairo or Giza.
