          Must-do Whirlwind Tour of Cairo!
          Incredible whirlwind tour of Cairo! I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a short layover. Our guide Marco was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He was flexible with the itinerary and gave us what we wanted and more. He was well complimented by Badr, our driver, who made sure we got everywhere ahead of time. This trip wouldn’t have been the same without this dynamic duo!

          Great day to many historical sites
          Essam was a very knowledgeable guide and an expert in the field. He ensured the whole day ran smoothly and explained the history of the sites in a very engaging way.

          Tour of Cairo, Giza and Museums
          Nevin was a pleasure to spend time with. From the moment she collected us from the hotel, we were in safe and knowledgable hands. She has so much local and historical information and she was able to show us much of Cairo and Giza. She was very helpful in organising anything we wanted to see or do and as Cairo is quite a large and busy city, this really helped make our trip a smooth and enjoyable one. She provided Mohmed as our driver for the third day and he took us to any city locations we wanted to visit and waited for us til we were finished to bring us to the next site, all the while giving us tips of what to do/not to do and was reachable by phone the moment we needed. Highly recommend reaching out and speaking to her about tailoring your trip to your liking.

          Wonderful visit to Ancient Egypt!
          Our guide Essam was very knowledgable in Egyptology and was happy to answer all our questions (not that there were many as he was very thorough and engaging in his explanations of each stop!). He had such a passion for Ancient Egyptian culture and history which really reflected in the quality of the tour. We also had two lovely drivers who we could not fault at all. The whole day was incredibly well organised and flexible to suit our needs. We stopped at many different places and had the opportunity to experience many different things. We absolutely would not hesitate to book another trip and are already planning where we will go next!

          First tour was so good, we booked a second and we're not disappointed.
          Second review this week, because after a day at the pyramids and Egyptian Museum, we booked another day. This time Marco took us to the new Grand Egyptian museum near the pyramids then the churches and mosque in old city. As before Marco was a great guide, lots of good stories and access to unusual areas. Even though you can visit these places by yourself, it's worth every penny to go with a guide! After two days with Marco I now feel well qualified to bore my friends back home about Egyptian history and art!

          We had the best time with our guide Essam who made our first visit to Egypt an unforgettable experience. I only wish we had more time as there is so much to see.

          Excellent day tour of Giza!
          We just completed private tour today. We had to change our plan as one of the attractions was completed by us a day earlier. They were flexible to change the plan. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided plenty of historical information. We thoroughly enjoyed his willingness to go to extra length to make sure we are capturing the details. Driver was also very friendly. We had a great time. I definitely recommend this tour operator.

          Trip to Giza / Saqqara Pyramids
          I organized a trip with a small, young family with Marco (guide) and Abdul (driver). Had a fantastic time as Marco appeared to have many connections let led us to key, not so publicized areas within the Giza pyramid and Saqqara pyramid. Would recommend again to others.

        We messaged Nevin very last minute and she picked us up herself from the hotel the next morning. We had a pyramid tour & sphinx tour, and she stopped at multiple other places that we might want to check out too!

        She was so so lovely & extremely knowledgeable which was a plus as she wasn't just driving us around. As two girls it was really nice to have another woman showing us around and 'protecting' us from being bombarded by people!
        She played Egyptian music in the car and also got us some falafel and hummus flatbreads for the journey back to the hotel.

        Really recommend Nevin! Also don't usually love loads of photos but she is really great at taking some gorgeous ones for you to remember the trip by!! She offers half day or full day trips, which can include the museum too.

        The tour started on time from the hotel.
        The tour of the pyramids was well organized. The burial chamber of the large pyramid was hot and sometimes very narrow. Hany, our German-speaking tour guide, was able to provide a lot of information about the culture and was careful to take good photos with all of us. His German is sufficient. It takes concentration to understand all the information.
        The subsequent stop in the papyrus shop was interesting. The pictures seemed overpriced, however.

        We would skip the subsequent visit to the perfume oil shop next time. This is used purely for a private sales talk in a shielded area of the shop.

        Afterwards, Hany was able to guide us through the museum and once again demonstrate his expertise.

        Conclusion:
        We would do the tour again. It is informative and you see the most important things. Except for the non-historical stops.

        Hany had a cheerful, good manner and was able to convey expertise. We found the sometimes persistent souvenir salesmen annoying.

        We booked Nevin via WhatsApp as several colleagues had previously recommended her services.

        She picked us up from the hotel bang on time and drove us to the museum where she gave us a really interesting tour, showing us all the highlights. Nevin is very knowledgeable about Egyptian history.

        From Tahrir Square we went to Giza for the Pyramids visit. Having been before I was ready for the hassle of the vendors and camel owners but thanks to Nevin there was none! She took us round, avoiding the crowds and showing us the best places to take photos. We had a camel ride but without any of the usual problems. It was an amazing trip to Giza!

        By now we were feeling peckish so Nevin took us for falafel and kushari- both places were great, such delicious food.

        We stopped off to get some drinks and snacks before the last part of the day- a sunset felucca trip down the Nile. This was a lovely way to finish off a day that we will remember for a long time.

        If you are thinking of booking someone to take you round Cairo I’d 100% recommend getting in touch with Nevin. She is friendly, fun and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she goes out of her way to make your day very special.

        Looking at everyone's comments, it seems that the quality of your experience will only depend on your guide. Ours (Eman) made this excursion very disappointing. First, she did not speak English (when we asked for an English speaker), and was not able to give us any valuable historical information, including using Google Translate. For example, we had to listen to other groups' guides to learn things about the sphinx. When we showed up at the pyramids, she made us think that we had only two options : Camel ride or carriage (both costing more), when the trip was meant to be all included. Then, she almost held us hostage in the afternoon, forcing us to post a positive review about her before being able to enter the museum. Finally, while we understand tipping culture, at the end of the day, she (again) did not show us to the driver until we tipped her. We felt very uncomfortable and pressured during the whole trip. She was very efficient to jump lines and take pictures, but unfortunately this is not enough for a tour such as this one, especially considering that we asked her for more historical info. It has to be mentionned that the agency were cooperative when facing our complaint when we messaged them.

        Unfortunately, we did not have the tour we had asked for. After paying for a private tour for two and asking for an English tour guide, we ended up having a tour guide whose English was limited to, “you happy?” and, “You understand?” We used Google translate throughout the whole trip, tried to ask if she could include more historical information, and not only did she not, but the information that she did give us was wrong when we compared it to what was written on the plaques in the museum. Not to mention that she FORCED us to post a positive review on trip advisor about her tour before she let us into the museum (she blocked us from getting in until she saw that we had posted a 5 star review).

        I want to stress that the agency itself tried to help us, it seemed to just be a problem with our tour guide who has lied to the agency about her English level (Eman).

        Myself and a friend had one full day to take in the pyramids and museums and so we had to make the right choice for a tour guide to fit everything in that we wanted.

        We hired Nevin as she was highly recommended and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better as she was really fantastic.

        We were picked up from our hotel in the morning and were instantly felt welcomed and relaxed. Nevin is a real people’s person and is very chatty and inviting.

        The day itself was an unforgettable experience and flowed from start to finish. We was able to jump ques, see cordoned off areas that weren’t known to the standard tourists and was treated to a real VIP experience.

        To experience the pyramids up close felt out of this world. And she was able to take us to areas that were free of tourists which I didn’t even think would be possible. Also to see Tutankhamen in the museum was really amazing.

        Nevin has a lot of connections and clever ways to get the best experience possible which is important as it was very busy at times but we never felt rushed or overwhelmed as she handled everything with ease.

        On top of this her knowledge of Egyptian history and culture was very in depth and I learnt so much about the pyramids and various artefacts in the museum.

        To finish it all off she took us for an amazing great late lunch and gave us some advice on where to spend our evening.

        If you are looking for a unique and special experience and to go beyond where other tourists can reach then I would definitely recommend Nevin.

        No doubt I will be heading back after this experience and will look forward to using her services again.

        This truly was an incredible experience with Navin! Picked us up exactly on time and then was completely friendly and easy to interact with from the start.
        Continually gave us cool bits of information about the rich culture and history in all the locations we visited without being too overwhelming.
        Took care of all communication with the locals and anything to get us into the museums and attractions.
        Have use suggestions to update the itinerary if we wanted to and all her suggestions were fantastic and improved the experience (we went to eat at a location with a. Full view of all 9 pyramids which was mesmerizing)!
        We also went to a few other locations after our day itinerary was over which she didn’t have to do and it was another amazing experience. Seeing old mosques and mausoleums which we didn’t even intend or know of but turned out to be some of the most memorable parts of our trip!
        There is so much more to say but this truly was an incredible experience and we are very excited for the coming up days even more. Thank you Navin and highly recommended!!!

        Nevin was an AMAZING guide!! She is incredibly connected throughout the community and makes the experience feel so warm and fun, with so many people recognizing her and joking with her. She makes you feel safe and the whole trip is incredibly convenient as you are able to skip lines, go straight to the best views, and she will have the car wherever you need to be to minimize your walking time in the heat. You are able to customize your experience with Nevin and her knowledge is unmatched. I would 100% recommend her, especially for women travelers looking to ease their mind and truly enjoy Cairo.

        I spent my day with Nashat and the driver Badr and it was incredible! Nashat knows his country Egypt by heart and passed on his knowledge to us it was incredible, the driver was also very nice and very careful. we visited the pyramids as well as the Egyptian museum and how to make paper and the inside of a unique pyramid it was great I recommend 100%! The price of the day is correct, he takes care of you all day long.

        Went on tour December 1, 2023. Nashat (Guide) and Abdo (Driver) were incredible the entire time.

        Prompt pickup and contacted day before via WhatsApp to ensure location and time. Arrived early and sent photo of himself which was reassuring for a good day and who the contact was.

        Abdo did an amazing job driving through the chaos of Cairo traffic. Safe and clean car and pick/drop available wherever we started/ended. Couldn’t think of anything better than that in a driver. Air conditioned too and car in good condition. Can’t imagine trying to drive in this city.

        Nashat was attentive and extremely knowledgeable. Spent 2 hours in museum and he knew literally everything you could ever need to know about every exhibit. He tied in history of Egypt throughout ride with explaining artifacts later in the day. Nashat sent multiple photos of historical views of the sites along the way. He was not rushing and could spend extra time in locations along the way. I believe we even went longer than the tour was supposed to go. Pyramids, Sphinx. Museum.

        We were able to bypass any queues as described.

        Nashat’s photo skills were also great. He knew where to get the best photos both on/off the tourist route. English was superb and you can tell he genuinely has a love of giving tours and the history of Egypt and the people with the 1000s of years of history.

        I can’t speak for other Guides but if you get Nashat - you are guaranteed for an incredible day. Highly recommend getting a tour. Sure - you could do things by yourself and arrange own transport and tickets to save a couple of bucks, but it would be stressful and unknowing of where to go. He knew the security personnel and key staff at all sites so you can genuinely tell he is a great person who builds great relationships/friendships along the way.

        Thank you Abdo and Nashat. You hear some wild stories of safety in Egypt - but I had no worries with the both of you.
