5.00You know you're with the Best when you have other tour guides saying you're with the best. Ahmed seems to know everyone and puts you at ease. Its like being with a family memeber that has a passion for this history of the area and it really is able to explain so much to you, that you leave with more knowledge. You wont regret choosing ahmed!
Amazing tour!

5.00Ahmed is a great amazing Egyptologist, Even when we crossed paths with another local guide, they would tell us, "Abu is the best." Friendly, fun, and with a perfect English speaking, he personalized the tour to our interests, captivating the whole family. I only can recommend him as the best guide we ever booked visiting Egypt!
Wonderful day with our fantastic guide Ahmed!

5.00Ahmed is a legend! We had a full-day private tour with Ahmed and I can't recommend him enough. The man is a legend! Honestly the most down-to-earth brother you’ll meet here. Again, he saved the day with the best locations for the best photos for my Instagram obsessed girlfriend! We really bonded and I can't wait to come back and hang out again. See you soon, brother!
Best experience - I would highly recommend

5.00Me and my family had a tour led by Abul and it was the best experience that we had during what was an all round wonderful trip. He is a deeply knowledgeable man with a great sense of humour. Abul made the tour truly engaging. This tour suits people of all ages. I could not recommend this tour guide enough, we had other tours in Egypt when in Aswan and Luxor and they were good but no where near as good as this one.
Great trip

5.00We visited the Pyramids of Giza with our family, and our guide made the whole experience unforgettable. He explained the history in a clear and engaging way, took us on a camel ride, and even arranged ATV driving in front of the pyramids — truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. Highly recommended!
The best tour around the piramids that I've never booked!

5.00The zone is always fantastic, but this time we were guide by Ahmed, and he was an extra wonder. The way he tells every detail, the architecture, the History, the anecdotes and curiosities... A real story of the old Egyptian eras, but also we talked about the actual Egyptian society and their way of live. Clear English, amenity, nearness without any comercial shop stop. What else? 😉
