A great day of museums

5.00Going with the Mohamed guide to the museum made it possible to understand and admire the highlights and get information about fundamental aspects of Egyptology. You can tell that he enjoys sharing his knowledge, which is many, and is a very kind person. Aspects that I also liked are the ease of communicating with them, punctuality, good organization and having a great driver. My tour included after lunch a visit to the Egyptian Civilization Museum where you can see the mummies, other important pieces of ancient Egypt and very interesting information about Islamic culture. For the rest of my days in Cairo I also hired a transfer I needed and another visit with them. Very satisfied with everything. If I went back to Egypt I would repeat. They're very good professionals.
Unforgettable experience with Forever Egypt tours

5.00We had an absolutely amazing experience visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum with Forever Egypt Tours, and it was without question one of the highlights of our time in Egypt. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized and seamless. Our guide and tour operator, Waleed, was exceptional in every sense. His deep knowledge of ancient Egyptian history, combined with his clear explanations and genuine passion, brought the Grand Egyptian Museum to life in a way we could never have experienced on our own. The museum itself is breathtaking—modern, spacious, and home to extraordinary artifacts—but what truly elevated the visit was Waleed’s storytelling. He explained the significance of each section, connected the artifacts to the broader history of Egypt, and answered every question with confidence and clarity. He also paced the tour perfectly, allowing us time to absorb the exhibits without feeling rushed. Forever Egypt Tours demonstrated outstanding professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their guests. This was not just a tour, but a thoughtfully curated cultural experience. If you are planning to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, I highly recommend Forever Egypt Tours and specifically Waleed. You will gain a deeper understanding of Egypt’s incredible heritage and enjoy a truly memorable experience.
Amazing pyramid n grand museum tour

5.00I recently visited Cairo n I happen to see waleeds number on one of my groups n decided to contact him for the pyramids n grand museum tour. I am so glad I chose his company for the tour as they were so professional from the beginning. Waleed himself is such a nice person n gave me the different options for the tours. The tour guide msgd me the night before her name is Reham shawky to tel me pick up time n sent me drivers name n picture of the car which helped wen he arrived to fetch us and was on time. We then met Reham n went through to the pyramids. Reham was excellent n also so good wit my daughter who kept on asking her questions about the pyramids. Overall we had a good day visiting both the pyramids n grand museum. We also used his service for transfer to the airport and the car was big n clean n the driver was actually early for the transfer. I am glad I chose waleeds company for the tour so anyone goin to Egypt be sure to use waleeds company u won’t go wrong as he does not only do tours but also transfers to Airport and I’m sure he offers more services.

A Perfectly Organized, Insightful tour through Egypt

5.00We had a wonderful experience on our week-long Egypt tour, covering Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Alexandria. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. Thank you Waleed for organizing such a wonderful Tour for us. The guides were extremely punctual, knowledgeable, and thorough. What we really appreciated was how they explained not just the historical significance of each site, but also the cultural context, so everything felt connected and meaningful rather than just a list of facts. The drivers were equally excellent—always on time, professional, and courteous. The cars were clean and comfortable, and the overall driving experience felt very safe and smooth throughout the trip. Customer support was also great, Waleed was very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions or needed adjustments. A special shout-out to Amgad our driver and Bassam our guide in Cairo for making parts of our trip truly memorable with their warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge. Overall, a very well-run tour and a fantastic way to experience Egypt. Highly recommended!

5.00Mohamed Doma was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and personable, and he explained things in a clear and concise way so we could all follow what he was saying, including our 13 yo & 10 yo children. We also got additional tidbits of information about Egyptian culture. He was lighthearted and fun as well! He made sure we had time to do everything we wanted safely and without rushing. He was helpful and will treat you like habibi. We highly recommend him as a guide!

5.00Taha was our guide for two days in Cairo. Day one was Pyramid Day - where we went to Giza and Saqqara. If you have the time, I highly recommend this tour. It was great to see both Pyramid plateaus. On day two, we went to the Grand Egyptian Museum- and it is indeed GRAND. Our guide, Taha, was great. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things Egypt. We were a small group and he gave us the time and flexibility to see what was important to us, while guiding us to the best spots and places of interest. Taha is a wonderful guide into the gates of Egypt. I highly recommend Taha and we will book with him again.
Definitely worth it!
