This was my first time taking a solo tour and Aziza was AMAZING. She made me feel at ease, all while being extremely knowledgeable of all the sites. She’s also a bit of a celebrity around town, so that was cool to see everyone love to see her. 😂 She even squeezed in a camel ride I had had to cancel the day prior. If you come to Cairo, ask for Aziza!

Our tour was exceptional. Our guide Aziza Aman was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and organized . Next time we come to Egypt we will be sure to look her up. Highly recommended!

The greatest guide and driver ever! Knowledgeable, friendly, funny—Jimmy & Ahmed couldn’t have treated us better. As it was a private tour, we skipped the Egypt Museum, opting for a carriage ride into the desert for a better pyramids view and stops to learn about glass blowing, ancient essential oils and papyrus making. Jimmy and Ahmed prevented us from being hassled by all those trying to sell us something plus they were delightful luncheon companions (included in the tour price). We take a lot of pictures, from different vantage points. Jimmy never rushed us and knew many spots to get the best photo. Private tour is the way to go—especially with these guys! The flexibility alone is worth the added expense.

I went on a tour with Ahmed Elsayed with the Egypt tour club company and loved every second of it. The pyramids were amazing and absolutely stunning. Ahmed was a professional and very knowledgeable. 10/10 would do it again.

Great tour and our guide Jimmy was very informative and friendly with us and our child. I definitely recommend using them for any tour in Sharm, in Cairo and all Egypt. and their prices are fair and competitive. Good luck to them and I can’t wait to use them next time we are in Egypt.

We had a great time taking this tour and our guide Jimmy was really nice and friendly. My won had such a great time and he loved hanging out with Jimmy as he was so nice to him and my son claims that he became his best friend 😂. They showed up on time, the van was really comfortable, the tour was well organized, and the guide was very detailed. We got to do many activities that made the day go by so quick and created life long lasting memories. I really recommend them if you are considering any tours in Sharm to explore Cairo, they will not disappoint 💯💯
