We had two days of touring with this guide, and it was a wonderful experience. We visited Saqqura, Memphis, the Great Pyramids, Graet Sphinx, Old Cairo, Citadel and the Bazaar.
I can't really say a bad word about our tour guide, he was fantastic. Arrived on time, was very friendly, that was a good first impression. He led us to the car, with our own personal driver dedicated to us for the day, the car was fully (and effectively) air-conditioned, very clean and comfortable, and this is apparent when we had to get through the rough rural roads.
And to the tour itself, it was very informative and, because our guide is an Egyptologist, any questions we had he was able to answer with ease. He walked with us throughout our visits, waiting for us (mostly my wife) to take pictures, helping us to take some as well. Anywhere we wanted to visit, or anything we wanted to buy, we can. The tour was flexible.
The food: On our first day of tours, he brought us to this restaurant next to the Saqqura Pyramids, and it was by far the best meal we had since we came to Egypt. Hesham also made sure that we had water to drink, that we are OK etc.
Hesham was very hospitable, friendly and will not rush you. And at the end of our 2-day tour, he did something what no other guides we met has ever done: This is not a usual thing for a tour guide to do, but he invited us to his home. His lovely wife cooked us a traditional Egyptian meal after that, we even had a go on one of those Indian taxi cart ( I forgot the name). This was about 9 o'clock, and the tour was supposed to have finished by 3/4 o'clock.
Like I said, simply because he was very friendly and hospitable, and look at you not as a customer but a friend, that's what make me want to recommend this company over the rest.
Thanks again Hesham
