About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kennyc1080 contributionsAmazing 2 days in Cairo!We had a fantastic 2 days full private tour all inclusive with our Tour Guide, Nour, and our Dedicated Driver - Emad. This was our first time in Egypt, and the whole journey for the 2 days was packed with fun and enjoyable sightseeing. Nour is an expert in Egypt history and he makes our visit so interesting. His excellent storytelling abilities of all the historical sites make it all worth it. We enjoyed the local food lunch and are grateful for all the arrangements! Thanks for such a wonderful experience! We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt!Written 14 January 2025
- nielsandreasa0 contributionsRemember to have student cards with you for the entrance fee for both the pyramids and museum entranceMe and my gf from Denmark/Danmark visit Egypt between Christmas and new year, a bit cold during this week but still warmer than DK , We really enjoyed this tour guide especially the camel riding was fun Our guide was a woman and she was very kind and friendly, and she also speaks very good English, especially compared to the average Egyptian we came across during our trip You can pay to the entrance fee when you are at the pyramid, it isn’t that expensive and with student cards it is even cheaper (450 egp) the same goes for the museum (300 egp) Side note: The toilets in the museum doesn’t have toilet paper so have some on you if you are consumer of toilet paper during bathroom visits and you need to go around hereWritten 28 December 2024
- J5696TOkimh0 contributionsGreatFab time. We were picked up from our hotel. It was not on the drop down list when we booked but this was not a problem. The guide was very good. We had paid to go inside the great Pyramid..............certainly a great way to warm up, as everybody came out sweating. The history was fascinating and all questions answered. There are cheaper tours, but we had our own guide. Some guides were less knowledgeable as we discovered elsewhere, and some had poor English. We could not have done betterWritten 30 October 2024
- agapi19800 contributionsThanks Tree of Life toursDuring a long layover at Cairo airport, we decided to do some exploring. We felt completely comfortable leaving our luggage in the car, as we had total confidence in our guide, Ashraf. He was fantastic, showing us around and making us feel right at home. Ashraf's insights and knowledge were exceptional, and he made sure we had an amazing experience!Written 17 October 2024
- 168alexandriad0 contributionsManual was the best guide! Book with her!Manual was an exceptional guide on our tour! She knew a lot of information, was very genuine, helped us find amazing shawarma, and was very patient. If you book this tour, make sure you read that tickets are not included. Though it was affordable to get in, it was a little annoying lol.Written 13 October 2024
- 456geraldineg0 contributionsFirst time in CairoThanks to mimo and yasin we had a great time in egypt. We started our day at the pyramids, we then stopped at the museum where we saw king tut's mask, the bazaar, and ended our day at the nile. Mimo and Yasin made sure we were comfortable, took their time to wait for us when we wanted to shop, answered all our questions and hooked us up with the best shawarma and falafel in Cairo. Thank you so much mimo amd yasin for the unforgettable experience.Written 9 October 2024
- V150HZpaulap0 contributionsBest experience of Cairo for first time travellersThe best tour to visit the key highlights in Cairo for 2 days. It's a private tour so me and my partner had the driver and our fabulous tour guide for ourselves! Phoebe was fantastic, always accommodating us, protecting us from scams and making sure we were comfortable (and hydrated!). She was basically one of the highlights in Cairo. The first day we went to the pyramids complex and had lunch with a view. I really appreciated that this tour included also Saqqara and Memphis. I've got the best pictures of Egypt from this day (and we were around for 2 weeks!) The second day we visited Old Cairo and the Egyptian Museum. After being in both I don't think I would have been able to survive without a guide so really thankful for having Phoebe with us and for all her knowledge. The lunch on the second day was my favourite. We went to a local restaurant near the Hanging Church and it was so so nice. It was our first time in Cairo so having this very complete tour with such a fantastic guide really made the difference for us.Written 7 October 2024
- 600olivetb0 contributionsGreat Tour with Tree of Life ToursThis was the best tour I took in Egypt. Zenab, my tour guide, was patient, not pushy, and spoke excellent English. She showed me unique spots and made the experience smooth. The driver was also kind and patient. Highly recommended, especially if you need a calm and chill guide. Plus, she’s a fantastic photographer!Written 18 June 2024
- ontor20190 contributionsBrilliant two day tour service!Mimo our tour guide and Ibrahim our driver for the two days was exceptional. Nothing was too much hassle for them. Mimo made our experience great, he made sure that we had everything we needed going at our own pace especially with a 21 month old baby. They adjusted pick up time by half hr as 8am was too early for us. He is very knowledgeable and has tons of information to share. Our trip to the Saqqara was part way abandoned due to the extreme heat by ourselves and Mimo refunded our tickets for it- brilliant service. The camel ride was shorter than the allcated time but Mimo made sure this was completed and sent us back on again- he gave us the choice of riding the horse and carriage. He really went the extra mile to make sure we had time to experience, rest and explore thoroughly. Ask for Mimo if you do book and you will see how accomadating he is. He even stopped to get us watermelon at our request! Food was good in a nice resturant the first day, then shawarma on the second. Everything is explained clearly and fully- adjustments are made according to the client- it is your tour so go with what works for you. All addidional stops that isnt part of the tour was a treat too. He did not push us to buy infact he made sure the locals especially in Khan-el-Khalil bazzar werent ripping us off with extortinate prices- he made sure we didnt fall for it and kept us all safe throughtout our two day. We already miss his company. Ibrahim is a true gentleman, opening the door helping with our stroller making sure the car was always clean. Aircon great what luxury! There was no pressure and we were relaxed. Thank you to both men for making our trip pleasant.Written 4 June 2024
- ballard0p0 contributionsSolo female Cairo tourZenab, a female guide for a personalized tour of the Giza Pyramids and Saqqara, where I discovered the pyramids, saw the Sphinx, and climbed into ancient tombs. Ideal for solo female travelers in Cairo, this women-only tour ensures comfort and offers a rare chance to explore with a female Egyptologist in Egypt’s male-dominated travel industry.Written 31 May 2024
- petsass20240 contributionsTree of Life toursOur tour with Zenab and Mido was fantastic. They picked us up from our hotel in an A/C car and explained our itinerary. At the Great Pyramids of Giza, Zenab took great photos, and we enjoyed a camel ride to the viewing area. We visited the Papyrus paper gallery, the Sakkara Step Pyramid, and the treasures of Ramses II in Memphis. Lunch was delicious, and we had a view of the Pyramids. We also saw how essential oils and perfumes are made. Zenab and Mido provided excellent historical insights and made us feel comfortable throughout. I highly recommend asking them for the best tour of Egypt!Written 28 May 2024
- bahabaha0 contributionsGreat Alexandria tour from CairoIt was very family friendly tour with Zenab as out guide. We did enjoy every bit of it. Learning a lot about the Greek & Roman history of Egypt while exploring the Catacombs, Pompey's pillar. We learned about modern history through the New Library of Alexandria. Lunch was great overlooking the Mediterranean.Written 15 April 2024
- alfred_ambroos0 contributionsGreat Alexandria tour with Tree of life toursStepping back in time of ancient conquerors and unrivalled knowledge, our private day trip to Alexandria was an experience draped in historical grandeur and Mediterranean charm. Led by the incredibly knowledgeable Zenab, our adventure rewound to the days of Alexander the Great. We descended into the Roman Catacombs, with its eerie chambers. Standing before the soaring Pompey's pillar, we were left awestruck. Yet, it was the disc - shaped marvel of the New Alexandria Library, that took our breath away. Amid these wonders, a delectable seafood lunch awaited us. Zenab's expertise shone brightest here, as she wove the city's past with its lively present. Highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a taste of Egypt's historical treasures in a single, unforgettable day trip.Written 9 April 2024
- dianahK757MQ0 contributionsGreat for a long layover in CairoWe had a wonderful time! Very thorough communication with our guide and super easy pick up and drop off from the airport. We started early on Friday so there were very few people around. We felt a little rushed at the pyramids and only got to take pictures with the great pyramid. would have liked to spend a little more time wondering around or seeing the other ones. The camel rides were my kids favorite. They also offer a carriage ride if you’d prefer. The camels looked really healthy and well taken care of. We spent a large portion of the tour be taken to shops, oils, papyrus, jewelry. Tip: despite the shop owner saying you can bring the oils in your carry on you cannot and will make you check it if you have a suitcase to put it in. We ended up using my husbands day bag to check them. Lunch was good with a view overlooking the pyramids. The museum was interesting and our guide was really knowledgeable. We were discouraged from visiting the market though it didn’t look any more intense than ones we’ve seen in other parts of the worlds like Istanbul, Delhi, or Beijing. For a long layover and ease of getting around and hitting the highlights of the city this was a perfect choice.Written 6 January 2024

My friend and I had an amazing half day tour with Nefertiti! She spoke amazing English and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of all the spots we visited. She prepared us for what to expect at each stop and was very kind and gracious. The day was full of amazing views, fun experiences and interesting facts. Very highly recommended when visiting Giza!

Manar was wonderful. She was incredibly knowledgeable beyond just the history of the pyramids. She encouraged me to ask more questions and was a good story teller, keeping me engaged throughout the tour. She and our driver Mohammad were also willing to pick me up in Cairo earlier than the official start time, given my tight schedule. She offered to show me other places outside of the pyramid complex, due to her efficiency at showing me the best vantage points. I could have sped up or slowed down the tour, as she was flexible. And on the way back to the hotel, she answered my questions about good restaurants and how best to get there from my hotel. Overall, a great way to see the Pyramid complex if you've only got a few hours.

Took a half day tour to Giza with the guide Khaled. Saw the pyramids and the sphinx, with camel ride and lunch also included. Highly recommended! I would definitely book with them again.
