Jun 23, 2024I consider myself (relatively) well-traveled and hire private tour guides whenever possible to better understand where I’m visiting. Our guide, Youssa, was one of the best guides I’ve ever had. Full stop. He’s professional, knowledgeable, extremely kind, and has a good sense of humor. It’s very clear he has a passion for Egyptology and makes his explanations accessible for all audiences. We loved our time with him so much that when we went back to Cairo later in the week, we had a second day with him to see more sights! Additionally, the transfers involved were smooth and he explained the city and sights to us as we traveled from location to location. I’ve already referred a good friend for his services for her honeymoon. Don’t forget Egypt is very much a tipping culture all around! Have cash and take care of those where it makes sense. Lastly, don’t hesitate to book Youssa! Five stars! 10/10!

Jun 23, 2024Hussein was a brilliant and pronominal guide (Egyptologist). Our day was awesome! Spent the morning at the museum where he showed his expertise on Egyptian history. Had an outstanding lunch, visited a real papyrus manufacturer, essential oils business, afternoon at the Pyramids and sphinx. Couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect day and experience. Hussein was outstanding with our kids (9 and 12) and delivered/captured some of our family’s most cherished photos from our adventure. Highly recommend and will never forget this once in a life time trip.

Jun 23, 2024Mariam, our amazing guide in Cairo with Egypt Tours Club. Her communication was amazing and felt well looked after. She contacted me a day before, explaining where she would wait for us. when we arrived, she brought us water, also gifted us her favorite soft drink and chocolate. Very thoughtful and kind. On the way to the Great Pyramid of Giza, she started sharing her knowledge and answered all our questions. She looked after us and told us that she would pay for everything, we shouldn't worry about anything at all and then at the end of the day, we would reimburse her. Was great and very easy. She got the tickets for us and took us for Camel riding. After that we went for lunch. She took plenty of picture of us, which again was amazing! Very grateful. The day was all about us and Mariam made sure we were happy. Her service is well recommended.

Jun 23, 2024My tour guide, Ahmad Elsayed, made the experience very pleasant, transforming the environment to be welcoming and comforting. He was very informative and gave us in depth lessons on the indulging history of the Egyptians. The transportation was top tier and effective. However, one small complaint was the food. There weren't much options and the one restaurant that did seem appealing let us down with it's meal. Otherwise, the trip was amazing!

Jun 23, 2024It was one of the best excursions we had in Egypt so far! We came from Sharm to Cairo for 1-day visit. Our guide Ali met us at the airport and we had a lovely day full of adventures. Kids enjoined the museum and pyramids, I have appreciated that we were quite flexible to make a move or stop somewhere longer, at the same time we felt quite secured and Ali took care of all the small nuanses, so I could just relax and fell the atmosphere of this trully incredible place!

Jun 23, 2024We had a wonderful day with the team. From pick up to drop off, we had the best experience we could have wished for. We visited the pyramids and then the Sphinx before being dropped off back at the Hotel! Our guide, Youssa, was wonderful and knowledgeable about everything and tailored the tour to our wishes. We are extremely satisfied with our day and if anyone is considering visiting the pyramids, we warmly recommend the services and in particular our guide, Youssa.

Jun 23, 2024This was my first trip to Cairo and I wanted to see and experience as much as possible of what this place can offer. If you want the best experience ever, this is the perfect choice. All was perfect - timings, logistics, the energy, information, locations. I felt the passion and the love for this job. Thank you :)

Jun 23, 2024Excellent day it was, the best tour guide we could have. Very knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and concern about our needs. We had a wonderful day at Giza, restaurant, and Museum! Thank you 🤗

Jun 23, 2024Jimmy is the best guide I’ve ever met! He is friendly, funny, has a huge knowledge and makes you feel at ease. His recommendations are golden and he actually totally made our kids (11&9) love Egyptian history. His sense for details are incredible so well developed you hardly don’t even notice and think it’s just a very smooth day. But days in Cairo don’t go bump free unless you have the perfect guide. All of this said, I still would say that his nice manners, kindness and sense for doing everything funny is the best thing about having the luck and meeting him as a guide. I can truly recommend him.

Everything was so perfect and perfectly organized and, just, it was really awesome. The guide, Youssa, was super nice and was really imformative. I seriously recommend the tour and the company -- Egypt Tours Club!! Amazing experience

Jun 23, 2024My boyfriend and I had an above all expectations great day with our guide Mohamed. He was so eager to give us the best experience possible and helped us avoid all the very typical tourist traps. As we had a private tour, we were able to choose which sights we wanted to visit and which we wanted to skip. Furthermore, there was no pressure for buying extra services or products, which I personally really appreciate. We are a student couple but the tour was worth every penny and I would definitely do it all over again! Highly recommend this tour :)
