          Insightful Experience!
          Interesting tour. We are grateful the tour included a car ride since the drive was approximately 2.5 hours and also had lunch included. It was a very informative tour allowing for my wife and I to see another part of Egypt and learn about the history of Alexandria with relations to Greek and Roman culture.

          A must!
          Great tour and experience with Adel! We learned a lot about the history of the pyramids and the sphinx and were even able to enter one of the pyramids. We rode camels too and the whole experience was amazing.

          Fantastic tour of the Giza Pyramids. Adel made us feel comfortable, explained to us the pyramids and Sphinx, and secured camel rides for us for a good price. Highly recommend.

          Best tour guide in Egypt!
          Adel was absolutely amazing! He is incredibly intelligent, professional, communicative, and passionate about what he does. I learned so much during our time with him. He also went above and beyond in making us feel safe and supported in town and helped us bargain in the markets, and also took tons of photos and videos for us! I 10/10 recommend having him as your tour guide! He’s truly the best!

          Fun day around the city
          Adel was great leading us through these 3 stops. He made the whole day extremely easy. He led us around the museum while explaining all of the pieces we were looking at as well as made sure we didn't miss the popular items. The citadel & mosque were also incredible. He had an answer for every question and even helped me & my bff get great pictures together. From there, he led us around the bazaar both to places he trusted/recommended as well as helped us barter for items. We stopped at a cafe all together and enjoyed some refreshments before heading back to our hotel. Adel made it a fantastic experience.

          Adel expertly navigated us through countless historical sites while also recounting key details of what we were looking at. He's not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very kind and personable. One of my best friends and I dubbed him as our "travel dad" since we were with him for multiple excursions & days. Highly recommend booking him for this.

He managed every detail seamlessly, making sure we saw the best parts of Giza and the Cairo Museum without any hassle. Adel was incredibly flexible, adapting the schedule to our needs and ensuring we were comfortable and never rushed. He made exploring the city easy, sharing insights into modern Cairo and even helping us navigate local spots. Highly recommend Adel for anyone visiting Cairo!

          Book Adel for your guide in Cairo!
          Adel, our tour guide is absolutely incredible. His knowledge of Egyptian history, and local culture is super impressive. He answered all our questions, we had a lot! Adel explained everything in detail, and his English is perfect. The tour itself is amazing. So much history it’s actually mind blowing. Having an Arabic speaker with us we did not get hassled to buy anything that we didn’t want. We also stopped off to buy perfume, Egyptian paper and sugar cane juice! It was a great day! Fully recommend Adel and the tour itself! P.S, he’s a great photographer too!!

          First time Cairo experience with a day well planned.
          It was great. Abdel showed us around, gave very clear and detailed explanations on what’s what. Highly recommend allowing him to curate your tour and experience while in Egypt.

        We hired Adel to give us a tour of Coptic Cairo and the Citadel today. He did an incredible job of explaining the history of the region and Egypt. He’s incredibly knowledgeable! We toured the Citadel, several mosques and Coptic Cairo. He took us to a Christian church and Jewish synagogue and talked with us about the evolution of the very special places. Adel is a very smart, caring and kind person. He’s very passionate about being a tour guide and sharing his knowledge and wisdom. I highly recommend Adel and hope to be able to hire him again sometime to show us more of Cairo.

        We went to see Coptic Cairo tour with our tour guide and saw all the important and religious sites. Our tour guide Abu Bakar was wonderful and explained everything important about each site and answered any questions that we had. We really enjoyed his company and a great experience learning about this amazing tour!

        I had the pleasure of having Adel Abd as my tour guide. He knew where exactly to go and had facts to share about each place.

        If you ask him for some time alone so that you can take in the awesomeness, he is happy to give you some space and ready to be by your side when you are ready.

        I HIGHLY recommend Adel.

        The highlight of the tour was the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. The lanterns, domes, and arches were breathtaking. The view of Cairo from The Citadel was also worth the price of admission. Aden was very courteous and provided tons of historical background and context.

        Honestly, I have been to a lot of countries with a rich history and this has by far been the best tour to start a holiday with. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and it was so great to get to be able to see the passion for the history as well as experience the knowledge and really be able to embrace the cultural differences between the mosques, churches and synagogue.

        Would definitely recommend to all my friends and family who travel here!
