Adel was the best tour guide and tour organiser we have ever met. And we met quite a lot. I think he has changed the expectations we will have from any future tour guides We have initially contacted him about a very specific visit to one of the Saqqara necropolis tombs and continued our discussion on WhatsApp. We ended up by doing two tours plus two activities with him. He was flexible in creating personalised tours for us, taking into account our specific interests. He guided one of the days - Islamic and Coptic Cairo - and he recommended a very knowledgeable guide for Saqqara Memphis Dahshur. He arranged for us VIP tickets for the Pyramids light show and made sure we got there on time despite Cairo crazy traffic (he went above and beyond what you expect from a tour guide to get us there on time). On the tour he guided himself he offered a lot of information in a very clear and pleasant way. He is very reliable and has a extremely pleasant personality. We would highly recommend Adel and his company for your tours in Egypt.

Our guide and driver were really nice and very accommodating- letting us make some changes to the itinerary and even letting us take extra time to get gifts. Really polite and he did a great job guiding us through the ancient civilization museum. Highly recommend

Our tour guide Adel was absolutely fantastic, kept to time, we had a luxury bus and Egyptian security, his pricing was the best value, his knowledge of everything around Egypt was on point. I highly recommend his company anytime you are in Egypt. I can also say that he very honest and upright. Our party of 22 people were all extremely happy without complaint.
