Exceptional Excursion! Our Egyptologist Tour Guide was beyond our expectations! His knowledge and explainations were accurate - yes he was 'subject matter expert' on 'Cairo' and everything 'Egyptian'. He gave us explainations for all our questions even though they were out of itinerary scope! Museums were outstanding - and every single item on this itinerary is a must! Thank you very much!

Had the best experience in Cairo with our tour guide Maged! He is very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Particularly his storytelling technique makes it easier to understand Egypt with thousands years of history. Learned so much during this trip - history, culture, people, architecture, food and many more!! Highly recommended :)

Maged and his team are true professionals and take care of everything. Arriving on time, choosing the most interesting, clean and quality food locations, very honest and up front with payment. But it’s much more than this. There is PASSION in what he does. His storytelling and knowledge of the history and myths is totally engaging. We will choose him above any other guide in Egypt for every trip we go in.
