We originally booked for a group of 5 to 6 people, but due to the price, the others backed out, leaving just two of us. He was incredibly accommodating with the changes, and never made us feel like a burden. Honestly, he is worth every single penny and definitely not expensive for the quality and amount of things we were able to fit in given such a short trip. We spent about 3-4 hours at each site- never rushed and really enjoyed getting to know Moh.

We had such an incredible tour with Mohamed. His knowledge at all the sites was invaluable and we learnt so much. If you plan to visit the pyramids you are wasting your time doing so without a tour guide like Mohamed. He and his driver always picked us up on time, he was informative (without overloading us with too much history or assuming any prior knowledge of Ancient Egypt). His local knowledge meant we always had a cold drink of bottled water and had some delicious lunches. Our tour also included a visit to the Citadel and Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo) and they were certainly a must do in your tour with Mohamed. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.
