We booked four trips with Tours by Locals on our trip to Egypt this past October. We had professional guides in both Cairo and Luxor. The knowlege we gained thanks to Tarek, Nahla and Girges provided wonderful insight into the history and beautiful landmarks. The tours helped contribute to a fasinating trip for our family, we would not hesitate in... More

Moustafa Sanad's planned visits laced with interestingly placed history & mythical information made our Cairo visit worthwhile. The total arrangement from toursbylocal in obtaining the services of best Guides with good travel arrangement is really appreciated. More

Amgad was a wonderful guide. The bottom line is if one does not know the Cairo area it is important to have someone show them around. Cairo is a condensed city with many obsticles to get around.

We spent two days touring with Moustafa. Day one was in Cairo - Day two was in Alexandria. Moustafa's knowledge of history is amazing. He was very attentive to the needs of everyone on the tour. His passion for his work is very obvious! If you are looking for a guide who speaks great English, is timely, trustworthy, personable, and... More

Our tour with him exceeded... More

Basically, you find a tour guide on their site and work with that guide (via emails) to create your own personalized tour at your negotiated price. The guides are screened by Toursbylocals (TBL) but don't work for TBL ... they are independent contractors. I selected Sherine Karelous as the guide for my wifes visit to Cairo Egypt. She was absolutely... More
