I highly recommend Magic LIfe Tours. Walid is an amazing tour guide. We spent three days with Walid in March 2022. As a family of four, we were not sure how long our kids could handle long day tours. Walid was flexible and seemed to instinctively know when our children needed a break, and when they were ready to see more. Walid knows Cairo inside and out. He is an excellent driver and always made us feel safe. He also knows how to make our experience enjoyable, knowing when to tell us facts and when to let us explore on his own. His English is excellent (although he does speak other languages).
We had no expectations when we came to Cairo with two young children. We had heard that Egyptians are kind, funny, and proud of their heritage. Walid is ALL of those things and more. He has a wonderful sense of humor and knows what to point out at all the spots we visited.
If you are staying at the Ramses Hilton (and even if you are not), we recommend starting your trip to Egypt with at least two full-day tours so that you get a sense of the real Cairo, the archaeological sites, and the religious architecture. If you can request a driver, ask for Walid!
