Zenab was exceptional throughout. She was knowledgeable about everything. She was patient and kind. We understand She had to do a job, we would have appreciate if she didn't force the papyrus making, perfumes, jewelry and cotton stops on us. It clearly was incentivized. Aside from those, we had a blast. Oh the driver was nice but he was driving dangerous at times.
Phenomenal experience 10/10

Mahmoud Hoka was an EXCELLENT tour guide. The trip was a phenomenal experience. My friend and I have been to Rome, Milan, and paris, and no tour has come close to the experience I had with Mahmoud. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see the true realities of Cairo, the pyramids, and the museum. We were 2 girls travelling to Cairo for the first time, and he made our experience safe, secure, and reliable. Friendly, HILARIOUS, and a true friend, ask for Mahmoud when you book this experience. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had an excellent day tour of Cairo, made special by our fantastic tour guide Mohammed Aziz. He took us expertly round the Pyramids, the Bazaar and the museum taking his time to explain everything in great detail. And giving us all the time we needed to explore and take photos. His expertise in the Bazaar was particularly impressive as he helped us negotiate great bargains on certain items and avoid the typical tourist traps. Overall, the tour was a great experience which I would highly recommend if you have limited time in Cairo and want to see everything.
Best tour guide EVER!!

I was fortunate enough to be the only person booked on this tour on that morning so it was just me, the guide, and a driver. Great communication via WhatsApp before the tour. She asked that we start early (7:15am) and I'm so glad. We arrived at the entrance of the Pyramids early in the morning, before the crowds and before the heat of the day. Went to the Sphynx first and worked our way back to additionally avoid the crowds. She also took me to a camel man who she said she had known for a long time. We then went to the essential oils store and the papyrus stores. Note that I understand the guides gets "kickbacks" from the stores and I am OK with that. That's capitalism. Also note when going to the camels at the pyramids she guided me around /past the vendors there's as in her words "that's just Chinese junk." The lunch was very good at a very nice place. I have some food aversions, but I was well-fed there. Finally, we went to the OLD Cairo museum, not the new Grand Egyptian Museum as the latter is not fully open yet (April 20, 2025). Saw a lot of cool things, but most importantly, the treasures of King Tut including the golden mask and coffin that you've seen pictures of all your life. Seeing the Pyramids and the King Tut has been on bucket list since I was a young child. These are certainly world treasures everyone should see. My guide, Fatma Mohammed, was WONDERFUL. I feel like I can't praise her enough. So knowledgeable and she even adjusted the talks based off my knowledge. She's a friend for sure. A day I will never forget!
Impressive tour and guide!

Our Tour Guide was incredible! She was fluent in English and taught us everything we could possible need to know about the Egyptian History we came to learn! She also brought us on amazing excursions that was part of the Egyptian history. Getting my own personalized cartouche was greatly appreciated due to being able to brining a pice of Egypt home with me to cherish daily. Overall our tour was impressive! I also found my tour guide to be unique due to caring for the animals who were used to living on the streets. I highly recommend this tour!
