VERY INTERESTING ENCOUNTER WITH CAIRO AND GIZA. A VIBRANT FULL OF LIFE CITY. OUR GUIDE WAS NASSER, A TOTAL GENTLEMAN WITH EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF EGYPT. IT WAS DEFINITELY A PLEASURE HAVING HIM AROUND AND I RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE. CAIRO IS MIND BLOWING AND FILLED WITH CONTRASTS. THE BIGGEST SHOCK IN ADMIRATION WAS THE WAY THEY DRIVE. IT'S SOMEHOW A WELL COORDONTATED CHAOS THAT, INCREDIBLY, WORKS. THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH AMIMALS IS AMAZING. FROM CAMELS, HORSES, CATS AND DOGS, EVERYTHING IS PURE HARMONY. OUR ACCOMMODATION WAS AT THE HAYAT HOTEL. A HOTEL WITH AMAZING VIEW, VERY TASTY FOOD AND FRIENDLY STAFF BUT WITH SOME TEHNOLOGICAL ISSUES. THE WI-FI IS KIND OF LIKE A SNEAKY NINJA. APEAR AND DISAPPEAR IN THE HOTEL AND NOT EVER IN OUR ROOM. TV ALSO AND THE AIR CONDITIONING REFUSES TO WORK FROM MORE THAN TIME TO TIME. TIPPING IS A PART OF THE GAME AND CAN BE OVERWHELMING. ANYWAY, ALL IN ONE, WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND LIKE I WROTE AT THE BEGINNING, A GOOD GUIDE IS VERY IMPORTANT AND BECAUSE OF THAT I WILL SEND TROUGH HERE A BIG SHUKRA TO NASSER.
We booked a private one day trip through TripAdvisor. The experience exceeded pur expectation, the awesome giza pyramids and coptic cairo takes you back in time. Would also like to thank Mr Naseer who is very knowledgeable and a gem of a person. He patiently explained the history of the places and went out of the way to make us feel comfortable. Mr Hasan (driver) too was very accommodating .
Nasser was our guide. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. It was a fantastic tour and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned and laughed . I recommend this tour with Nasser to all. Thank you, Sir!
We had a fantastic day out in Giza and Cairo with Mohamed the driver and Naser the tourist guide. They have been super friendly and helpful. A must if you want the get the most out of your Egypt holiday. Mohamed the driver is very good and safe. Naser the guide is very knowledgeable about all sites we visited and helped us out a lot keeping away scammers and to pay the right price for everything we bought. They took us to the best shawarma place in Cairo. ( best shawarma of my life) I definitely recommend this guys to have a fantastic time in Giza and Cairo hustle free
This tour was beyond amazing. Nasser and the driver(forgot his name) arrived at our hotel on time. Visiting the pyramids and sphinx was surreal. Nasser is a great photographer and took amazing personal photos of us at the pyramids. We wanted to dine at the 9 pyramids lounge and he graciously waited in the car for 1 hour as my partner and I ate breakfast and took pictures. He personally walked us up to the lounge and asked a waitress to attend to our needs urgently. We extended an invitation for him to join us but he politely declined. The rest of the day ran smoothy as planned. We customized our itinerary by skipping the perfume /art shop all together. Coptic Cairo was amazing too. Before dropping us off at our hotel, he took us to a local shop per our request so we could purchase snacks, water, and juice for our hotel. We appreciated his great hospitality and care toward us. The least we could do is leave a good tip. +5 stars tour.
The guide Nasser, took me to some local traders where I paid a much higher prices for my goods than I should I have, basically saying these are trusted vendors. Essential oils place charged me 100 usd for 250 mls of essential oils, should cost around 10 to 15 usd. Papyrus institute, charged me 170 usd for 2 painting on Papyrus should cost around 20 to 40 usd. Unfortunately the guides and shops are all in cahoots... which is sad by true. Im writing this so that others don't get scammed by same people in future. And hopefully the guides stop scamming tourists.
Mr. Nasser Turk is an amazing guide and our trip was truly fantastic. It was a remarkable journey in time and space that Nasser took us through. He is very kind, patient and welcoming. My husband and I are both passionate about history and Nasser's excellent knowledge of Egypt history and culture was literally enlightening (he is literally a walking history book) and his English is perfect. It was not the first time I had visited Egypt but doing it with the right guide truly changes everything. His driver Islam also made the trip worthwhile. He can also be a successful photographer ( it’s a plus), no such words can describe his kindnesses , God bless you Nasser! You deserve all the best, many thanks for a remarkable trip.
Thank you so much for the amazing trip Mr Naser very helpful and respectful and Mr hasan very nice it was great journey
Tour was well organized and made getting around Cairo super easy. Really enjoyed the Pyramids a lot, and seeing Cairo with Nasser was helpful in getting to figure out the city. He also helped us with specific errands and being flexible with our group. Enjoyed the good conversations and fun times as we dived into Egypt!
Nasser is a living history book… Patient and responsive. His driver also made the trip worthwhile.Thank you for the experience. It was amazing.
5 star trip with a great guide - Nasser. I would recommend this company and guide for for Cairo trips. He stopped and started whenever and wherever we wanted. Many thanks Nasser. 😊
Really amazing tour, expectacular and very unique here all around. Really good tour company as well and excellent job from our guide Naseer!
My family and I are so grateful to Mr Nasser for showing us the best of Egypt during our two-day tour and making this a memorable trip. On the first day, while my hubby was at work, Mr Nasser brought me and my young children to the Egyptian Museum and Old Cairo and ensured our safe return back to the hotel. He is very punctual, patient and truly a fatherly figure who prioritises your safety. We had a great time and we hope to be back.
My family and I did the day tour through the pyramids and Coptic Cairo and it was really a perfect day! Our guide Nasser and the driver picked us up in the morning and took great care of us all day long—making sure we saw the most important sights, explaining and giving fun information along the way, making sure we were never hassled or pressured to buy anything, and joking the whole way through (plus throwing in some delicious mango juice)! We all learned so much from the day, particularly about the history of religions in the area, and ancient Egypt of course as well. It was a great all-day trip to really see some of the most interesting parts of Cairo in my opinion! Thank you so much!
My family and I have visited the Giza pyramids and the sphinx in a half day tour with Mr Nasser as our guide. He was very transparent and supportive all the tour, answering questions, taking care of our tickets, getting discounts for us and pointing out best places for shopping/eating. We felt privileged to have him as our guide in such nice place. We do recommend him as a guide if you're planning take a tour in this area.
<p>This was a special tour for ourselves and our daughter who is based in Egypt. The tour was recommended by one of her friends. The tour allowed us to see many sights in one day making the most of our time in Cairo. Nasser and his driver were exceptional. Nassers knowledge was invaluable and he was extremely kind and respectful and didnt rush us. My wife is a diabetic and he was very considerate of her condition. He brought the tour alive for us and he and his driver enabled us to see the most incredible rock carvings at St Simon Church, which we wouldnt have found on our own. The pyramids were an unforgettable sight - make sure you have plenty of water, as it gets very hot and a hat for fair skinned people.<br/> A thousand thanks to Nasser and his driver. We highly recommend this trip !!!</p>
<p>An excellent experience, the guide Nasser was very knowledgeable and a very pleasant character who made it clear I was the focus of the day. Accordingly we adjusted the schedule to fit with my requirements and when I had had enough -am a lazy tourist, there was no protest about we must see this or we must do that. And when I made it clear at the outset that I wouldn't be at all happy being touted around the sellers of stuff this was never an issue.<br/> For me a private tour is the perfect way to spend a day seeing the wonders of Cairo. And Nasser was an excellent guide.</p>
<p>Best tour of three that I have taken here. He will actually take you anywhere, you want to go. Five stars.</p>
<p>What an amazing day in Cairo, with the best guide. Nazir and our driver picket us up on time at 9. We visited the pyramids first where he helped us navigate through all the tourist traps. A bonus after this was the purfume shop which is worth a visit but not included in the itinary. After this we asked for a local lunch, he treated us to some fresh mango juice an then we went for lunch cheap and as local as you can get. The churches and especialy driving through garbish city was unforgettable and a must do experience!<br/> I highly recommend this tour! We ere well looked after and Nazir went out of his way to make us feel welcome.</p>
Very bad experience with this agency. We had booked a 3 day trip to Cairo and it was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The first two days we had a very old guide, obviously tired, who gave us almost no explanation. On several occasions, we found ourselves visiting alone, without any accompaniment or information, which is unacceptable for a guided service. On the third day, it was even worse: we had to visit the Museum of Civilization entirely alone, with no guide, no explanation, nothing. Suffice to say that we could have organised this ourselves without paying an agency. Non-existent organization, total lack of professionalism, and clearly not up to the price paid. I absolutely do not recommend this agency.
日本語ガイドを選択し予約しました。結論を言うと日本人は良いカモでガイドツアーを頼んだ時点でボッタクリに合う事を学びました。お土産店とラクダで必ずボッタクられます。 ピラミッド入場費込みですがガイドのクレジットカードがエラーで使えないので私達のクレジットカードで支払って欲しい、キャッシュで返すと言われましたがエジプトポンドでの返金でしたので旅行最終日だったので使い道が無いので受け取らずに全額をチップとして渡しました。 ピラミッド入場後、ガイドの知人のラクダ乗りを勧められ、「カイロはインフレでラクダ乗りは高騰しており、1人40$が平均である」と言われました。交渉しましたがガイドの知人だったので2人で20分50$が限界で、この金額を支払うこととなりました。ラクダ乗車中にチップを要求されたりと散々でした。 Tシャツが1枚25$のお店や、お高い香水店にも連れて行かれて散々でした。 別料金で支払ったコプト博物館だけが楽しかったです。 初エジプトでしたので現地ツアーを利用し旅をしましたがエジプトがとにかく大嫌いになりました。二度と訪れることはありません。
