Myself and my coworker went to Cairo and set up this tour. Our private guide was Mohamed Elshemei withe the driver being Samah. I can not say enough nice things about the interaction. Lots of information about each of the things we saw!!! We were even asking about some shopping off site and he and the driver Samah knew what we wanted and took us where we needed to be to do it. Overall if I could have given a higher score I would have.If I get back to Cairo I will book again through this site and ask for Mohamed for my next adventure

My tour guide was Ahmed Tika. He was the best tour guide ever. His knowledge on ancient Egyptian history as well as more recent history was outstanding. He explained everything in very close detail and answered all my questions I had about the history of the pyramids and Sphinx and more. Ahmed was very nice and was always keeping a watch over me. Thank you Ahmed. Also the driver was very nice and drove the car very smoothly. He did a great job.
Excellent and professional

I visited Egypt in August and the Private Tour with Dressage was excellent the attention and professionalism with which they explained all the cultural aspects of Cairo, we visited the pyramids, Mosques, Christian Quarter, the oldest cafe and very good places to eat, as well as the Service and tension of the drivers.
