Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We met Nesreen for an 'Off the beaten track' tour. Nesreen was responsive on first communication and from there all ran smoothly. Upon request, Nesreen arranged a driver for the trip and she met us on schedule at the hotel. During the ride Nesreen shared her wealth of knowledge on Egypt and specific anecdotes to our queries and interests. I was a bit hesitant on being overwhelmed at the bazaar, however, it was everything but as Nesreen guided us effortlessly through the bazaar. Nesreen has a gentle manner which made the tour relaxed, informative and enjoyable. Overall we had a very good experience and I can recommend Nesreen very highly to anyone seeking an experienced guide for Cairo and Egypt. When we return for the next visit we will definitely seek out Nesreen. "
"We had a wonderful experience with Nesreen visiting the Pyramids at Giza. She was very knowledgeable, good fun and helpful with information for visits we were planning for other days."
"Nesreen is outstanding in every way. So warm & friendly, we felt a connection with her immediately. She is extremely knowledgeable & intelligently communicates a unique learning experience with enthusiasm & fun, making the Egyptian history in the Museum accessible & memorable. We loved every minute with her in the Egyptian Museum. Then she went “above & beyond” introducing us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch & even helping us get an Uber to go back to our hotel. It was more like spending quality time with a friend than a guide. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nesreen is the BEST!!!"
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Cairo, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Cairo spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Cairo.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Cairo, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Cairo awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Cairo, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Cairo. Get ready to explore like a local!

"Tasting the most delicious Egyptian food from the best places in Cairo with Youssef is an experience not to be missed. The range and variety of foods & drinks were perfect. Walking through the streets & alleyways of downtown was wonderful. Youssef is the perfect guide: passionate, knowledgeable, flexible, intelligent, considerate & friendly. Immediately we met I felt relaxed & safe in his company. Thanks to Youssef’s unique style, his great wit & genuine interest in sharing opinions & experiences with his guests, I enjoyed the very best day in Cairo so far. A brilliant, delicious & fun day - just perfect!!!"
"Mohamed was so friendly and welcoming. We wanted a more customised tour to see some authentic off the beaten path places like markets and talk to locals and Mohamed took us to some great places where we were able to see local life. He also took us to some of his favourite places to eat and introduced us to Egyptian food. We felt comfortable and safe with Mohamed and it was more like having a good friend to show us around, with many laughs along the way. He also drove us around in his comfortable ac car. Mohamed is a great representation of Egyptian hospitality and culture. Thanks so much!"
"Moustafa is passionate about sharing the history and culture of his country. He quickly was able to sense our level of knowledge and take it a step higher. He was also sensitive to our needs and helped us navigate easily through the throng of crowds the last day of the Tut Mask exhibit. Willing to work with you. Highly appreciated."
"Ramses XII was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, personable, and hilarious! He made the experience incredible and so welcoming! The food stops were a delights as well! "
"Abdallah was an amazing guide and very intuitive. I had let him know I was really interested in knowing more about the art and architecture in Cairo. I loved every minute exploring downtown, mosques, marketplaces, sipping tea and getting a deeper understanding of Arabic time periods, evolving architectural and artistic styles. He wove the ancient, contemporary and Ottoman ages together - seeing how all are still dialoguing today through the many layers of Cairo. We had incredible conversation well into the evening - when the market lit up like a rainbow and the whole area became even more magical. I am staying an extended time in Cairo and Abdallah gave me some wonderful recommendations on things I am specifically looking for while I am here. He is kind, humorous, deeply knowledgable and awesome wing man to have to explore Cairo and I would recommend to anyone looking for a seasoned, responsive and bespoke guide that will cater to your interests. "
"Look nowhere else for a guide, Nesreen is incredible!! If you appreciate intelligence, wit, fun and local expertise then she is for you. We had the absolute best day touring the pyramids and eating local delights all while learning, laughing and having the best conversations. Thank you for such a wonderful day Nesreen!"
"I’m a foodie. I like to try good, honest local foods. Nasreen took my friend and I for the best local foods ever. Nary a foreigner to be seen, but us. I highly recommend Nasreen for her knowledge and willingness to cater to our preferences. A charming and delightful woman, who becomes your best friend in 10 minutes! I strongly recommend Nasreen. "
