Samir, owner of Over Egypt Tours, came highly recommended to me. I booked four days of tours with him and he connected our family with an Egyptologist, Gad, who was absolutely fantastic. Both Samir and Gad made us feel so welcome in their beautiful country. Their hospitality was truly amazing. We saw all the highlights of Cairo and we absolutely had a blast with them. So grateful for them both. Beautiful memories that will last us a lifetime!

This a second day tour I did with Samir and Mohammad and it was incredible. They were flexible with the timing of the start and end date of the tour as my friend and I were meeting with our other friends that live in Egypt. Mohammed did a wonderful job explaining the history of the different locations and patiently answered all of our questions. He helped us find the best spot to snap photos and was an amazing photographer himself. Samir treated us to lunch at the best koshare restaurant in Cairo with a delicious dessert of rice pudding. When we mentioned we wanted to buy some gold jewellery and check out local markets, they took us to a trusted gold jewellery shop where we purchased gorgeous necklaces. Mohammed came with us to the market and waited while my friend tried out bargaining skills Egyptian style (based on coaching from both Mohammed and Samir). It was a perfect last day in Cairo and I recommend this tour to everyone!
