It was a trip I chose because I had only about three hours left after coming to Cairo for something else. It was a very satisfying trip that was short but impactful. Hishek, who served as a guide, enthusiastically explained ancient Egypt's history and customs, and also taught me good points for taking pictures. i was interested in Egyptian civilization, so he answered many questions very kindly. Mohammed, who was in charge of pick-up and drop-off, was also very friendly. Many people are familiar with the National Museum near El-Tahrir Square and the Grand Museum in Giza, but I thought that the National Museum of Civilization, which I went with my two friends, was also a must-visit place. I highly recommend it.

The museum of civilization was such an experience especially because we got to see mummies and aspects of Egyptian history that are not depicted in detail in the Grand Museum. Abeer was such a lovely guide. She was sensitive and accommodating of our need to rush our tour because we had something else scheduled. She really understands the history of Egypt and answered all our questions satisfactoryily.

We had a wonderful experience with our guide Hazem, he was extremelly helpful and nice, he had a lot of patience answering all our questions and he gave us a couple recommendations to keep enjoying our experience afterwards. In addition, his passion for his work, along with his knowledge and training in history and civilizations, are also evident. I highly recommend this guide.

The tour was amazing, the trip operator (Nada) was very polite, very friendly and so helpful as well, every question that I had was answered in less than 5 min. The tour guide (Adham) is a living encyclopaedia, he explained everything for us and the best thing was that it didn’t feel like he was a tour guide, I felt like he was a friend, very friendly asking if we needed anything, he was so thoughtful and polite as well!!!

Our tour with Mandy was absolutely unforgettable! He brought the history of the pyramids to life with her deep knowledge, passion, and storytelling skills. Mandy was not only informative but also warm, friendly, and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. Mandy answered every question with patience and detail, and her love for Egypt’s history truly shines through. Exploring the pyramids with her was more than just sightseeing—it was a journey through time. Highly recommend Mandy to anyone visiting Egypt. Important to remind here that tour company messed up with pick up time and they were not really supportive, I recommend them to increase their ways of communication so people wouldn’t be annoyed.
