I had an amazing experience with our tour guide Asma at the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history and information that made every place we visited come alive. She explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and made the entire tour enjoyable from start to finish. Had too much information to pounder about the ancient history. At first I was thinking maybe I will be hesitant because I am just alone but I enjoyed every single hour. She is absolutely worth every penny. Her professionalism, passion, and expertise made this trip unforgettable. If you’re looking for a tour guide who truly knows Egypt’s history and makes your visit meaningful, I highly recommend her. You won’t regret booking with her!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Klook on this private tour! Everything was well organized, smooth, and enjoyable from start to finish. The tour was an excellent way to explore the destination at our own pace, with a personalized experience that made the day truly special. A very special mention goes to our amazing tour guide, Shady Hamdy, who made the experience unforgettable. Shady was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and attentive. His passion, kindness, and willingness to share his knowledge made the tour so much more interesting and enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had the best possible experience. Shady is truly a credit to the team, and having him as our guide made all the difference. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I am Monica from China. I really enjoyed my tour today with Ezzaldin who was my tour guide. I want to say that Ezzaldin is the best tour guide in Egypt. He showed me everything he made me happy and he did not fall short in anything. He was with me from the beginning till the end. He took great photos of me and showed me the importance of Egypt and the history of Egypt and told me some historical stories. We visited the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir and Khan El Khalili and we also went to the churches and saw the Hanging Church. Thank you habiby

I had an absolutely excellent experience on this tour! Ayman was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and really enhanced the experience with interesting historical background. He also made me feel very comfortable walking around the city - he was looking out for me. He planned a great day at the pyramids, sphinx, museum, and bazaar. At the pyramids I rode a camel! He also planned fun side stops like a papyrus store and an oils store. And we had a tasty shawarma for lunch. An excellent experience and a great value. Transportation was so easy since he picked me up and dropped me off from my hotel, and the car took us between all the stops to make great time across the day. I will recommend this tour with Ayman as a guide to anyone who visits Cairo!
