He managed to navigate us around the city during low-traffic windows, meaning we never had to waste time waiting in long lines. Beyond his expertise, his kindness and flexibility were unmatched. 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 traveled as a family from Tanzania and had an extraordinary experience in Egypt thanks to Samir. From the first contact he was very attentive, answered all our questions, and organized a perfect itinerary to make the most of every day. We visited the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, the Coptic Quarter, Khan El Khalili, and enjoyed a wonderful dinner cruise on the Nile. Everything was perfectly organized, with excellent guides, comfortable transportation, and always on time. In addition, Samir also coordinated our transfers in Hurghada and made sure that everything went well during the rest of the trip. He even helped us with recommendations and transportation to go to shopping malls, which made everything much easier and more comfortable for us. What we highlight the most is his professionalism, honesty, excellent communication, and willingness to help at all times. He always made us feel calm and well taken care of, and thanks to him we were able to enjoy Egypt without worrying about the logistics.

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.

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.
