• 5Best day in Cairo

  We had the BEST day today with our guide Sayed Mahmoud, we recommend booking your tours with him, he is very knowledgeable and very helpful and professional, a credit to the company. We visited the pyramids, the GME and had the best lunch at the place Sayed had booked for us. Thank you Sayed - hope you have a great busy summer and everyone who books with him as a tour guide will have a perfect time! And of course also thank you to our driver Mohammed.

• 5Amazing experience!

  I had an incredible experience visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx thanks to our guide, Sayed Mahmoud. From the very beginning he was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the history of the area. He explained everything in a really engaging way, sharing fascinating details about the pyramids, ancient Egyptian history, and the surrounding sites that we would never have learned on our own. What made the experience even more special was how thoughtful and patient he was throughout the tour. He made sure we had enough time to enjoy each location and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. He also helped take so many amazing photos for us — and he clearly knows all the best angles and spots around the pyramids and the Sphinx! Thanks to him we have some truly unforgettable pictures from the trip. Said made the whole visit feel relaxed, fun, and very memorable. If you’re visiting the pyramids, I would absolutely recommend touring with him. Thank you, Sayed for such a wonderful day and for helping create such great memories!

  Our lovely guide Asmaa was fabulous at telling us all about the pyramids and she was so caring and gentle with my son. He became upset during the trip and she gave him a little token gift to cheer him up. She was patient and hospitable I can’t praise her highly enough. The pyramids and sphinx were amazing.
