5.00It was shocking that the guide could recall such details of history! She was friendly, accommodating and generous with her time and explaining. I highly recommend her guidance. Of course Egypt is mysterious and very important in history; she made it come alive! Egypt is a great place for any level or age off traveler!
Cairo private tour - Manal, our guide, was amazing

5.00We had a lovely day with Manal, our guide. She is very knowledgeable and administered beautifully the short time we had to see everything we wanted in Cairo. She took us into an immersive experience: from ancient history up to nowadays Egyptian culture. She even adapted our tour, taking us to an additional church since we wanted less time in the market. During our Muhammad Ali Mosque visit she was patient and kind to explain to us everything we wanted to know, about historical and modern culture perspectives. We loved it! And after all this, we had a lot of fun with her in the market while she showed us how to walk around in that huge amazing bazaar. Thank you, Manal for this great experience!

5.00Our tour guide Mahmoud was great. He took us all around and knew his history. He took us to the major things in the museum and let us explore after. He asked what kind of things we want to see or buy at the bazaar. He took us to a cheap shop he knew for things we wanted. He asked if we wanted to see anything else or wanted free time. He always asked what we wanted to do. Also took great pictures of us. Overall great experience
Great start to an awesome trip!

5.00I initially shared my disappointment in a recent tour experience with Tree of Life Day Tours, where the promised itinerary did not align with the delivered tour. However, I'm pleased to update my feedback to highlight the positive resolution that ensued. Following my complaint, tour guide Mimo from Tree of Life Day Tours proactively reached out to address my concerns. He not only acknowledged the discrepancies but also provided a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill. Moreover, Mimo assured me that steps were being taken to update the itinerary, preventing future customers from encountering a similar discrepancy. I appreciate Mimo's responsiveness and commitment to resolving the issue. While the initial experience fell short of expectations, the proactive steps taken to address the concerns have positively influenced my perception. It's encouraging to witness a commitment to customer satisfaction and continuous improvement within the tour company.

5.00It is really hard to choose what part of the day (experience) was the best..The best part of the day was being able to experience the passion and understanding that Mo conveys about Egyptology and the Egyptian people in every place and conversation that we had this day ! Fascinating, intelligent , humble and kind ..One is as integral as the next to be able to experience Egypt! We are def coming back to this place ! Egypt is magical .. Our Thanks to Mo for everything and everything he is!
