Perfect tour

Tour recommended to all with a Sayed Mahmoud guide prepared, kind and available to satisfy us in every request, providing explanations everywhere. Paid for as a group tour but actually private tour with him and my son. Thank you!

Museum Wonders and Felucca

My guide was Olfat Ali. She is very knowledgeable about Egyptology and explains the highlights of the museum. My driver was Hani Omar who is very polite and a terrific driver.

Unbelievable!

This is definitely a must visit!! This place is loaded with artifacts. The Egyptians craftsmanship will have you in Awwwww. For ever question my guide answered, I had another question coming. Personally, I feel a guide is only needed if you don't have a clue about Egyptian history or you want minor details answered. Those with knowledge of Egyptian history could probably get by without a guide. No charge for taking pictures with your cell phone... No flash
