Our day with Ebrahim was the best way to start our Egypt journey! Our guide was very knowledgeable, not only about the history but also about more in-depth things like the engineering of the pyramids. He also answered a lot of our questions about the way of life in Egypt )) He had very warm personality and great sense of humour (and photo skills) and we enjoyed the company 💕

We opted for a guided tour instead of just the driver. I think it would have been fine either way, but we did appreciate the information our guide gave us and having someone available to take pics for us. His English was excellent which allowed us to take in all he shared about the sites. We were glad for an early start so that we could see a lot before the crowds came. Lunch was included in our tour and consisted of a buffet with sufficient options to meet our needs. Only had to pay for drinks which were of course priced higher than they should have been.

We had a great day with our guide Mahmoud. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Our driver navigated the crazy Cairo traffic expertly and safely. We really enjoyed having plenty of time to explore the sites and never felt rushed. The highlight was entering the red pyramid. Highly recommend this tour!

This was the tour that initially catched our attention, and then we ended up booking all 3 days in Cairo with this company! It was an excellent choice. Our guide Lobna was so patient and fun! She let us explore everything and had all the answers. The tour included a few surprise stops along the way that enriched our Egypt experience! To see all the old pyramids was amazing. Climbing into the Bent pyramid made us feel like real explorers!!!

There are so many good things to say about this tour: punctuality for starters, profound knowledge of the guide (Ali, you were fantastic!), useful recommendations given throughout the journey and kindness all the way. They even let me add one more visit to the original tour which was amazing. Dear reader, go take this one, you won't regret it!

Brilliant tour with Lobna, our Guide for the day and a skilled driver. Lobna studied Egyptology and archaeology and is very knowledgeable. And she is a charming lady with a big smile. Everything went very smoothly from liaising before our tour, collection and return. We highly recommend Lobna and the tour company.
