Great half day tour!

Published on Jun, 2023

We booked very last min (the night before) and felt quite lucky to have Essam as our guide. He was FULL of knowledge, both of the local culture and history of Egypt. Honestly the 5 hours we were with him was not enough for the information he had to share. I bet he’s great for a full day tour. He made us feel comfortable, did not rush us, and ensured we saw everything on our list. We really appreciated that when we walked through Khan el-Khalili he did not pressure us to buy anything. All and all it was a great tour and we would definitely recommend him again.

Mohammed Salah

Published on Mar, 2019

We had a wonderful tour with the very skilled Mohammed. We went to the pyramids, the sphinx and the sorrounding area. We can highly recommend this tour and don’t forget to ask for Mohammed as your tourguide.
