OMG, when I tell you that you’ll want to book Manni Emam—DO IT! For starters, we had zero idea who we would be spending the day with. Our guide and driver were randomly assigned to us, and we seriously lucked out with Manni as our private guide and Abdul as our driver. They communicated with us the night before our tour and both showed up early to our hotel for pickup. Abdul had the car clean, cool, and ready to go with bottled water waiting for us. And every single time he pulled up after we finished a tour site, the car was perfectly cooled with AC and restocked with more water. Trust me—you will appreciate BOTH after all the walking in the Cairo heat! 😂 As for Manni, I had the opportunity to work with two different private guides during our trip through Egypt, and Manni was my favorite. He is extremely personable, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He has traveled extensively outside of Egypt himself, which I really appreciated because he has a broader perspective on different cultures and religions. When conversations naturally moved into religion, culture, or history, his perspective never felt one-sided. And when it comes to Egyptian history, Manni absolutely knows his stuff. He is very well educated and has studied Egyptian history extensively, but what makes him special is the way he teaches it. I genuinely enjoyed learning every piece of history from him. It’s like having that one favorite teacher in school—the person who makes you actually WANT to learn. It makes such a difference. Now for the unexpected bonus: MANNI TAKES THE BEST PHOTOS! I had pretty much accepted my fate in life that I am simply not photogenic. 😂 Well, apparently I just needed Manni! He captured so many beautiful candid photos of us and had an incredible amount of patience directing my husband and me on how to pose. He also knows all the cool photo spots away from the crowds of tourists and had the patience to take what felt like a gazillion pictures until we got the right ones. Ladies, you know my pain when your husband either can’t—or simply WON’T—put effort into taking vacation photos. 😂 Look no further. Manni had me out there feeling like an IG influencer. (Obviously, I am not. 😂) I HIGHLY recommend booking Manni and Abdul together. The dynamic between these two is incredible. They coordinated every drop-off and pickup seamlessly. Abdul knows his way around the streets of Cairo, and we were never left standing around waiting for the car. As soon as Manni called him, Abdul was there and ready to go. Together, they made the entire day feel effortless. You have Manni as your private guide, Egyptian-history teacher, AND bonus photographer, while Abdul is basically your professional transporter, AC provider, and hydration manager. 😂 Unmatched dynamic. I truly wish both of these gentlemen nothing but success. They gave us such a memorable private experience in Cairo. And guys—DON’T FORGET TO TIP THESE MEN WELL! You’re booking them privately for the entire day, they are taking care of you from site to site, Manni is doubling as your personal photographer, and Abdul is making sure you’re transported comfortably and safely all day. If you get Manni Emam and Abdul together, consider yourself lucky. We certainly did!

I highly recommend Elite Seven as your tour operator while in Cairo. They take care of all details and anticipated our needs so that we could not have been happier. Our driver, Zac, tour guide Kareem and of course, Rana in the office, were amazing. You have many choices for tours in Cairo and I would encourage you to select Elite Seven. You won’t be disappointed!
Great private tour! Very flexible and personalized to our needs. The guide was professional and made the whole day smooth and enjoyable. A wonderful way to explore Egypt. THANK YOU ELITE SEVEN 🙌🏻
Great experience! The tour was well-organized, personalized, and very comfortable. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit to the Pyramids and Sphinx enjoyable and easy. Highly recommend Elite
Completely satisfied! The result was great, and the team member assisting me was excellent to work with. Highly recommended with your friends or family
It was a great tour and the tour guide was very professional and his knowledge was great 🤩...Me and my family enjoyed VERY MUCH... we saw cairo with different eyes.. Thank you Elite Seven for your help and organising everything ❤️🌹
We will never forget the professionalism of our charming and friendly guide Kareem, an expert Egyptologist who not only helped us discover and deepen our knowledge of ancient Egypt—with fascinating insights into the customs and traditions of the time—but also went above and beyond to make our experience special. He helped us take stunning photos and, at the end of the trip, kindly agreed to take us to a supermarket so we could buy food to bring back to the hotel. He even escorted us inside to make sure we weren’t overcharged as tourists… In short, not just a guide, but also a bodyguard! Feeling safe is priceless. Thank you, Kareem!
Had a great time visiting some key sites across Cairo - especially the GEM and the Pyramids. Our tour guide - Mahmoud - was the best!
Had the best tour with Mahmoud today! So knowledgeable and so patient with us (we're a big family with kids!). 100% recommend booking a personalized tour and request Mahmoud to be your guide!
"Absolutely phenomenal experience! Our private customized tour in Cairo was truly unforgettable. Our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and tailored the tour to our interests perfectly. From the Pyramids of Giza to the Egyptian Museum, every moment was fascinating. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and immersive experience! 5 stars isn't enough – I'd give it 10 stars if I could! 😊👍"
Absolutely unforgettable experience! The tour through Cairo and Giza was a perfect blend of history, culture, and wonder. Seeing the Pyramids up close, exploring the Sphinx, and walking through ancient streets of Cairo was surreal. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the journey even more enjoyable. A truly magical day that exceeded all expectations—highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt!
The pickup worked well and we could visit all the sights we wanted. Manni was very helpful and told us a lot about the history of egypt but was also personally a very nice man.
During our trip to Cairo, we had the privilege of meeting our guide, Sherif KHATTAB &Elite Seven Travel, who became one of the most memorable highlights of our journey. Sherif’s profound knowledge, sincere approach, and captivating storytelling made every stop even more meaningful. Not only did he explain the mysteries of Cairo’s history, but he also brought it to life, giving us a deeper insight into the rich culture of the city. Every story and explanation was infused with his passion and love, transforming the experience into something truly enchanting. Sherif KHATTAB&Elite Seven Travel paid individual attention to each member of the group, answering questions with genuine care and making us all feel exceptionally special. In addition to showing us Cairo’s most beautiful spots, he introduced us to the local lifestyle and daily routines, offering a unique perspective on this magical city. We are deeply grateful to him for his patience, understanding, and professionalism. If we have the chance to visit Cairo again, we would undoubtedly choose to embark on another journey with Sherif KHATTAB. We feel incredibly fortunate to have met such an exceptional guide.
It was an amazing experience for me. The hotel was really nice and clean, the hospitality was great. The food was delicious also.
Great experience…very knowledgeable and excellent photographer. Highly recommended. Kareem gave us a good entertaining tour.
The guide was very informational and knowledgeable of the sites we visited. I had a wonderful time Kareem was very professional!
A stunning morning out with Kareem - he was extremely knowledgeable about the slates that we visited, and was able to adapt to our requests and time changes. Highly recommended
We had great private tours organized by Elite Seven, oue guide in Cairo was Sherif. One day doing the Pyramid complex in Giza, Pyramid complex, GEM, and a great evening drink with a pyramid view for sunset. The following day a slightly shorter day tour with visit to Muslim and Coptic parts of the city and then a visit to the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar and a traditional lunch. Organisation with Elite Seven was easy. They're responsive and payment is done online. Our guide was very friendly and open. Would happily recommend to others visiting Cairo and looking for a personalised experience.
Amazing amazing time! I had been in touch with the tour operator with what I wanted to do, they helped time each activity and offered advice. Our flight arrived early but the driver made sure to be there on time and he was very friendly. We then met Ahmed at the pyramids who patiently talked us through the history and answered any questions. We went to GEM and he gave us space and time to explore on our own which was great. We then went for lunch at a river-side restaurant which was a buffet style restaurant - very tasty & safe to eat! Having relaxed for an hour, we then finished the tour at Khan El Khalili Bazaar, this is enormous!! Really takes your breath away, just make sure you’re prepared to say no and to haggle! I had the best time haggling and it’s all just part of the fun. We were not pressured to buy or go into any particular shops which is very good as I had read on Facebook etc of people being pressured but I can assure you that with this company it will not happen! We then were dropped off at the airport by both the driver and Ahmed. We cannot fault the trip, it was amazing! The only thing I would do different next time is have longer at the market and also have a guide with us as we wander the streets of the market - next time as we will definitely be back and look forward to using this tour company again!
Everything was perfect, we enjoyed all the tours. Our Guide Mr. Bassam was very kind and knowledgeable they take care for us and make everything possible to enjoy our tours
It was amazing daytrip ever. Our tour guide Bassam is very knowledgeable and helpful with everything. He is so friendly and made our tour very special.
Excellent day At our own pace and at our disposal Very friendly guide and very comfortable vehicle I highly recommend
We had the pleasure of taking a private tour to Cairo with our guide Kareem and couldn't ask for anything better! In just one day we visited the majestic Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Citadel, Coptic and Islamic Cairo — all accompanied by detailed, interesting and passionate explanations from Kareem. He is a very prepared guide, always kind, attentive, nice and able to make us feel safe at all times, even in the chaos of the city. Special thanks also to the driver who accompanied us, always on time and helpful, ready to offer us fresh water at every stop — a gesture that we really appreciated, especially in the summer heat! Tour absolutely recommended! Thank you very much Kareem for making this day so special!
