Mohammed Gouda made our trip exceptional. He was incredibly nice, funny, and knowledgeable. Gouda used our time commuting between sites to tell us the stories of ancient Egypt and it connected all the dots - made all the difference. He took us to the market to specific shops that gave us the BEST prices, which was confirmed when we saw 4x-10x costs at other “touristy” locations. The pyramids tour was amazing, along with the camel ride in the desert, and the real papyrus shops will make you feel like a kid in a candy store - you’ll want to buy all the art! Every meal was enjoyed on rooftops with the pyramids and Sphinx which is actually named Shesepankh as we learned- Alexander described it as Sphinx when he first saw it. Highly recommend this company, and specific GOUDA! Thank you for an amazing tour Gouda!

This was an absolutely fabulous day. Our guide was exceptional. The driver was great. We couldn’t of asked for a better day.
What an experience. Started the day tour with our guide Yasser at the Giza Pyramids, one of the seven wonders of the world. After many numerous photos and Yasser kindly taking photos of us so we could have kindly attractions in the shots was great. This was followed by a memorable camel ride with the pyramids in arms length. Now for lunch, it was a kings feast at Abou Shakra with great view of the pyramids. Next we visited the Egyptian museum which was just amazing. So much to take in but just a pleasure to be there. Finishing of with a trip to the bazzar was an experience of its own. This whole tour l would definitely recommend for anyone coming to Egypt. From our driver, our camel handler and most of all our guide Yasser with thankyou for your hospitality.
I had the pleasure of having Moktar as my tour guide for the one day that I was free in Cairo to take a tour. Right from the start he amazed me with his in-depth knowledge of Egypt’s history and also ancient Egyptology. He made every effort to ensure I was comfortable and safe, changed plans to ensure the itinerary and schedule met my preference and made me feel safe the entire time I was in Cairo alone. It has always been my dream to visit Egypt and see the pyramids and I was not disappointed with what I’ve seen. It was every bit as fascinating and magnificent as I envisioned, and the experience was made even better with having such an experienced and friendly guide with me the whole time. I managed to see the best of what Cairo had to offer in one day, and I could not have done that without such an amazing guide. All in all, an unforgettable experience!
I took the 8hrs tour with Abdul and it was a great experience, we went to the pyramids, got a camel ride, went inside the main pyramid, Abdul was very friendly and patient, took a lot of pictures for me, explain some of the history, took me to various shops (Egyptian paper, cotton, oils and spices), visited the museum, had lunch and went to a plaza with a lot of souvenir shops.
When the girls asked for a trip to Africa I wanted to make sure it was going to be a memorable one. This trip met all our expectations. Half of our family are Spanish speaker so we requested a Spanish tour, Abdul was very knowledgeable and caring. My mom got hurt during the excursion and instead of rushing us, he took his time with us so we all had a great time. We stop at the pyramids, papyrus house, essential oils shop, jewelry shop, local restaurant for lunch and the Egyptian museum. We skipped the Felucca ride on the Nile.
We had a wonderful day in Cairo with our guide Manar. She was so very knowledgeable about the history of the sites that we visited and was very attentive to our needs and requests. From the moment we first met her at our hotel at exactly 8 am, we knew we had made the right choice in our tour operator selection. Manar is a very experienced guide who has boundless energy when it comes fo describing in great detail everything before our eyes, she has knowledge way beyond her years and made it a truly memorable experience for us. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Manar was so wonderful... She was very knowledgeable about Kemet History. Flexible and take amazing pictures...
Egypt you were amazing!!! You are rich in ancient history and culture. And we wouldnt know about it, if not to our very knowledgeable tour guide Basam. Basam was not just a tour guide but also a good photographer. Indeed a great memorable experience in Egypt!
We came to Egipto on our honeymoon, we came totaly unprepared..... We found this tour of a full day with a private guide and drivers, and from The start it has been amazing!!!! The guide Gouda Was impecable, he explain us every question we had and told US all The interesting facts of What he shown us. The lunch Was wonderfull on a boat on The Nile river. Throughout The day gouda has made everyone of our wishes come true 😁😁😁 Take us were we wanted.
Manar Atwa paced the full day tour in Cairo perfectly. She tailored the trip to our group's needs and we went at a pace that was both comfortable and efficient. She also knows her stuff! She was able to explain important artifacts in a way that made us appreciate them more and was able to answer every single question we had. We highly recommend this tour if you need a crash course of Cairo and Ancient Egypt in a day! PS: she also takes dank photos
Yasser and our driver Ahmed did an excellent job of showing us around Cairo on a 15 hour lay over. They picked us up at 7:15 and drove us to the Giza pyramids and once we toured the pyramids we were given a camel ride and got to see the sphinx. Throughout the trip Yasser was constantly offering to take pictures and tried to meet any need we had. He was great guide and answered any questions we had. 10/10 would recommend, due to there constant support and trying to satisfy the customer as much as possible.

Giza Pyramids and Sphinx ...
Pick up was exactly as stated. Yasser (tour guide) was super early.ASK FOR YASSER First we toured the Bazaar. Next we went to the Egyptian museum. Yussar is very knowledgeable of the Egyptian culture and walked us through everything in the museum. We explored the mummy rooms. Next was the Papyrus Gallery where we learned how they made paper from a plant also Egyptian art was on display with options Of getting your name written in hieroglyphics. After wards we had lunch (very delicious) then it was off to the pyramids. Yussar guided us through the history of the pyramids and took amazing photos of us (myself and girlfriend) best angles I might add. Next we got to go for a camel ride for 20 minutes and they took great photos of us on the camel with the pyramids in the background. We went to the sphinx after and got out pictures taken by Zeina (highly higly recommend) she takes amazing photos with the best angles. After that we stop by Egyptian oils and essence (ask for Muhammad. Muhammad is brilliant at recommending the perfect smelling oils for any needs. BY FAR, the best birthday ever THANK YOU, and a big shout out to the driver Tamer for driving us all day and getting us back safely.
"Nanak cianagamin!" Our tribe's term for "Very Satisfied!" Everything we visited are all unique and impressive. It seemed magical to me how they preserved their ancient relics and i am amazed with their history. The best thing i appreciate is the lunch buffet that to my taste, i found very delicious. For our tour guys who are very patient with us, especially bro yasser who always cares for us, thank you so much and we luv u all guys. We hope will be back again, this time with our entire family. God bless!!!
We arrived early at Saladin's fortress which hosts the Alabaster Mosque built by the Father of Egyptian modernization, Mohamed Ali. Our articulate tour guide, Mr. Yasser, was very passionate in narrating the importance and rich history of the place, that the fortress was built in the 1100s, and their great leader built the mosque inside the fortress 8 centuries later. We went on a sailboat at the Nile River, where he explained that this huge smooth-flowing river was the main source of water for Egypt. He continued sharing with us many historical facts which he affirmed later when we were at the Egyptian Museum. I was deeply impressed with the thousands of relics, to think that they had such intricate designs, from their clothes, jewelry, to architecture as far back as 3,000 years B.C.. We feasted on a sumptuous lunch buffet before going to the papyrus factory, where we were shown how the first paper in the world was made. Their gallery of paintings is beautiful, but what blew my mind was when they put the lights off. The paintings had different images which glowed in the dark, as the litmus test of an authentic papyrus painting. We excitedly bought a large 3x5 feet papyrus painting of the pyramids. How they built and put together 2-ton to 15-ton blocks on top of another to form a pyramid, to reach a height of 142 meters for a Pharaoh's tomb, still beats me. At the pyramids of Giza, we had a camel ride before seeing the Sphinx. It was a magical moment for me, to be in the place which I only see in books since childhood. Some of us tried the quadcycle, driving through the sand dunes. It was so exhilarating, so fun! We had a quick shower at our 4-star hotel before having dinner at one of River Nile's cruising restaurants. We were entertained by local artists when suddenly they brought in a birthday cake. Our tour guides made a special arrangement for our companions in the tour who were celebrating their birthdays! It was such a sweet gesture that our new friends can't stop saying "thank you". On our way to the hotel, our tour guides had a shop opened exclusivly for us to showcase the Egyptian array of essential oils. They served complimentary hibiscus tea, and had us experience some of their oils. We bought menth, which is both a perfume and a healing oil. It was a full day of fun, no time wasted. We were cared for, always asked if we were having a good time. That was just the first day.
I had the best time ever!! Ashraf was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, personable and treated us like family. He picked us up from the hotel which was a plus because you didnt have to incur additional transportation cost. He told what to expect during the tour and how to act when approached by the vendors. I highly recommend Ashraf to make trip memorable!! Kesha from Georgia USA
