We had an amazing experience on our tour! It was convenient, allowing us to explore so much of the city. The highlight, however, was definitely our guide, Ashraf. He was personable and knowledgeable, offering an excellent tour. When we realized one of our wallets was missing, he went above and beyond, helping us track it down. With the help of the wonderful tour drivers, it was returned to us the next day. We highly recommend this tour and Ashraf as a guide!

After a flawless tour of Cairo with our guide Fatima, we decided to book a trip to Alexandria with her as well. The day was just as perfect—Fatima and our driver were exceptional hosts, providing fascinating insights about Egypt and the ancient city of Alexandria. The attractions we visited were captivating, and we had the opportunity to sample local cuisine without being stuck in traffic, thanks to our driver's expertise. We wholeheartedly recommend Fatima as a guide for any tour! If we had more time, we'd certainly book with her again—she's incredibly professional, friendly, and intelligent. Her command of English is nearly at the level of a native speaker!

The day trip to Alexandria was unforgettable. My Guide and the driver were amazing hosts. Everything was very well organized, and I was caught in the hotel by the motorists, finding my Guide already in Alexandria. She had a deep knowledge of the history of the city's tourist sites. What an amazing hostess! I'd give her a slug for sure. The lunch on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea was simply divine. Our driver was also a super good guy, even helped me bring a gift back to the hotel. Overall, I would rate this trip as excellent. Worth every cent and minute invested.
