What a wonderful trip! Kerolos was such a great and knowledgeable guide, and Mohammed was an excellent driver - not a easy job having to drive through garbage city! We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it. A highlight for us was a stop at the Lotus Garden Perfumes - the sampling and educational experience was amazing and I can highly recommend doing it if you have not done something like that before. The lunch spot right next to the Nile was great and the food was delicious. Our Felucca ride was also such a lovely experience.

The tour was great, first they picked us up from the hotel and we went to the tower, thank you to our guide Mr. Nuur, he was very attentive, explained and was not a guide, but a travel companion, our driver Mr. Hasan was a smiling and polite person, we were pleased with everything from both of them to the Nile tour, thank you 🙏

Excellent, that is the only thing I can say about this experience in general. The assigned guide was very attentive and I am very grateful. He explained every historical detail of each place without rushing and recommended places of interest.

Ahmed was in contact with us about pick and was on time. He was polite and helpful. We enjoyed our day trip in Copic Cario, and we were great attention on the tour. Ahmed was very helpful and informative. Thank you for such a wonderful day

A very interesting tour, our guide told us a lot of interesting information about the places and in good German. If you are interested in churches, this is definitely the right place for you! Thank you for the lovely day.
