Great tour with Aly!
natalielB1805CE, October 2026
We had Aly as our guide, and he was AMAZING! We took five tours with different companies during our time in Egypt, and Aly was by far our favorite guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. He customized our itinerary to fit our needs (for example, we were very tired at the end of the tour so he showed us only the “must see” things at the GEM so we could go back to the hotel early), was flexible throughout the tour, and took great photos of us with care. He also made a real effort to keep us out of the hot Egyptian sun as much as possible by finding shaded areas while sharing his knowledge. It’s clear that Aly genuinely cares about his guests and their experience. We highly recommend this tour and Aly!

Not good, not terrible
Excursion16141086122, October 2026
The tour went reasonably well overall, and the places themselves were definitely worth visiting. However, the visit to the GEM (Grand Egyptian Museum) felt a bit rushed. The guide (Rasha) skipped entire sections, even though we still had time left in the tour.
Some valuable time was also wasted on the inevitable visit to the “Papyrus Institute,” which turned out to be nothing more than a shop with pushy vendors trying to sell their products.
It wasn’t a terrible experience, but it wasn’t a great one either.

Disappointing
Erika_S, October 2026
We were very disappointed with this tour. The guide seemed rushed throughout the day, and the explanations were brief and lacked detail. We spent time at a papyrus/perfume shop and a tourist buffet that we had not specifically requested, while our time at the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum felt rushed. We were given only about 10 minutes to take photos at the Sphinx and had limited time to enjoy the sites.
We expected a more informative and relaxed experience, but unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. Since we traveled from far away and had limited time in Cairo, this was especially disappointing.

The best!!!
Coastal22358774778, October 2026
I had the best time!! Zizo is very knowledgeable and kind. I mentioned at the start of the trip that I wanted to try Koshari, and he and his lovely driver, took me to get some mid-tour. They were both so kind, and made me feel very safe, and taken care of. I would 100% recommend the tour and Zizo specifically. Bonus - He also takes amazing photos!! I will definitely be using them again when I’m back in Cairo :)
