- CAChristopher· September 16th, 2025HOLIDAY IN EGYPT to me was Mohamed until I arrived. He replied to my questions on a daily basis understanding and responding to multiple requests in a single message. He shepherded us as we went along and my tour had additions to each end which Mohamed organised. The itinerary was amazing. I forgot how many cool adventures I signed up to. Sometimes we were so busy we were late arriving back but food was served and everything worked out fine.Show more
Trip date: September 2025 - Patrick Yukio· September 9th, 2025The tour was excellent. We had two excellent tour guides in Cairo and on the cruise boat. They took really good care of us and was very informative of the tour attractions. We liked that the tour group was small and tour guides very personal.Show moreTrip date: September 2025
- SSharan· September 3rd, 2025The whole trip was seamless from start to finish. The tour guides Mohamed, Hazem, and Ahmed were very professional and efficient, always ensuring we knew what was going on at every moment. Hazem and Ahmed's historical knowledge and explanations of all sites visited was very thorough and well-rounded. The accommodation, transport, food, and people were simply great. The whole trip ran smoothy and I never felt unsafe throughout the trip, particularly as a solo traveller. I would definitely recommend this tour particularly for first time travellers to Egypt, if only to ease any anxieties or hesitations. I highly recommend having Ahmed Kassem as a tour guide in Aswan and Luxor as his attention to detail and care for the guests was unmatched. Egypt is a beautiful country with unparalleled history, to not visit would be doing yourself a disservice.Show moreTrip date: August 2025

- wollanssa· August 20th, 2025I wort this A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience with a One-of-a-Kind Guide – Tamer Mahmoud Traveling to Egypt was a lifelong dream—one I approached with high expectations and deep reverence. What I didn’t anticipate was how profoundly this trip would touch my heart, thanks to Tamer Mahmoud. More than just a tour guide, Tamer became the heart and soul of our journey. A true cultural ambassador, he brought Egypt to life with wisdom, warmth, and authenticity that exceeded every hope I had. From the very first moment we met him until our final day together, every detail was flawless. Tamer’s service was exceptional—professional, highly organized, and thoughtful. He anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, ensuring each day ran seamlessly. But what truly set him apart was his spirit: kind, humble, endlessly patient, and deeply passionate about his country and its history. Tamer’s knowledge of Egypt’s ancient wonders, local traditions, and lesser-known treasures was impressive. Yet it was his delivery—rich in storytelling, reverence, and context—that made it unforgettable. With every explanation, he didn’t just teach us—he invited us to feel and connect. He turned historic sites into sacred moments, making us feel not like tourists, but like part of something greater. As someone with a deep fascination for ancient civilizations, this trip carried personal significance. I’ve had the opportunity to explore other historic destinations, but none matched the emotional and cultural depth of this journey. Tamer created a space where we felt genuinely welcomed, grounded, and emotionally connected not only to the landmarks, but to the people and soul of Egypt itself. He consistently went above and beyond—always present, approachable, and eager to answer any question with sincerity and depth. His care was felt in every gesture. He brought joy, lightness, and laughter into every day, and his hospitality was simply unmatched. Everyone in our group felt the same Tamer made this experience unforgettable. Because of him, this trip wasn’t just memorable, it was transformative. We left Egypt not only with incredible memories, but with full hearts and a profound sense of gratitude. To anyone considering a trip to Egypt: if you have the chance to tour with Tamer Mahmoud, take it. You are not just signing up for a tour—you are stepping into a rare, meaningful, and deeply human experience. I look forward to returning one day and will wholeheartedly recommend Tamer to friends, family, and anyone seeking more than just a vacation but a true journey of the soul.Show moreTrip date: July 2025

I liked it as the message were always traceable. With help from the guards at the airport we found our pickup driver. Who was friendly and At arrival at the hotel and with the help of the hotel staff I was able to give the driver the correct tip. Staff at the hotel and hotel was really nice and friendly.

- KKrista· July 2nd, 2025This was an outstanding tour. For Giza and Cairo, we had an Egyptologist named Sohaila who really knew her stuff. Ahmed kept his “royal family” tour group informed and entertained from Aswan to Luxor. The accommodations were first class all the way, and the Steigenberger Nile Palace was the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The only minor difficulties were the airport pickups and dropoffs.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- CBCallum· July 2nd, 2025This was a once in a lifetime experience. The tour was well organized and travel/ accommodation options, including the river boat, were clean and safe. I cannot speak highly enough of our guide, Ahmed Kassem. He was attentive informative, kind and beyond helpful. His knowledge and support made the tour experience what it was. He made sure everyone was safe, well fed, and well informed the whole trip, and even helped organize an additional tour to the Grand Egyptian Museum for us when we had a spare few hours on the final day before flying out of Cairo. I would definitely recommend this tour, and am amazed at how safe the whole experience felt.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
