I had a very good time with Mr Waleed the tour guide as he had wealth of information of Egypt religious history and was kind enough to go the extra mile to explain in details whatever he was asked for . Also very flexible in the tour arrangements. Highly recommended

I booked two day trips with them and was both times impressed with their client oriented service. On both days they picked me up at my hotel and were there before agreed time, which I value very highly. On both tours the guide, Sultan, was very considerate and flexible, adjusting the programme to my liking. You can discuss your preferences with him before the tour or as you go. He is very understanding and will tailor the trip as much as possible to meet your requests. He was very knowledgeable, with excellent English skills, easy to communicate with and he is a great photographer, which is very helpful for solo travelers who are not in to “selfies photography”
