“I had an absolutely amazing experience and cannot recommend this tour highly enough! From the very beginning, our photographer was incredibly responsive, communicative, and helpful. I had several questions before the tour, and she always replied quickly and made me feel completely prepared and comfortable. The tour itself was fantastic! Our photographer picked me up directly from my hotel and immediately made me feel welcome. She was friendly,…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“My private tour to the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the surrounding sites was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made ancient history come alive with fascinating stories and insights. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and truly enjoy the moment. The ATV ride through the desert with the pyramids in the background was definitely a highlight — thrilling,…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“The Pyramid and Sphinx tour with our photographer absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our photographer provided deep and engaging insights about the Pyramids, temples, and Sphinx throughout the tour, bringing ancient history to life with passion and clarity. He went above and beyond—not just as a guide, but even helping us negotiate with local vendors, which made the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. The itinerary was…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“This was such a special and memorable part of my trip in Egypt and I'm SO glad I booked. Our photographer (kind of like Salami, but NOT 😂) is the perfect host. I booked this as a solo traveler and it was just the two of us. I learned and felt like such a welcomed guest on a truly local and bustling place. Our photographer truly loves all of the things he shares with people on this tour and it shows through his enthusiasm, knowledge, and energy.…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

“A wonderful experience! A walk through the old part of Cairo with real ancient mosques and buildings. We started with the Al Hakim mosque which is such a wonderful place. And our guide explained everything very patiently. He gave us always enough time to watch. He made us taste Egyptian pastry, which was delicious. And showed us the part of the market where Egyptians do there shopping. A very big surprise was the derwish dance in front of a…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

“This was an awesome time of relaxing exploration of Old Cairo and the markets with new friends who are also solo female travelers. Our guide was very welcoming and friendly and a great story teller. He did not rush us to anything; one participant was able to get henna tattoos. Truly enjoyed the experiencing the nightlife as it is in the Old Cairo culture. We were picked up and dropped off to our hotels. This is something I wouldn’t miss if…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

Quiet Nile Felucca Tour

“This sunset sailing trip on the Nile was so much fun! Although our private group arrived late, our photographer (our amazing host) was incredibly kind and understanding. He didn’t just wait patiently, he even extended our tour past the original end time to make up for it, which we really appreciated. During the sail, our photographer provided us with cold water and even a fun local drink to try, which was a nice touch. His English was excellent,…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

“This was a relaxing cruise that was serene and picturesque. The host was very kind and friendly, serving tea, cola and water aboard. He took pictures of all of the guests as they requested and shared details about the Nile River and surrounding communities. We enjoyed it very much! Our daughter was also celebrating her birthday and he went above and beyond to make her feel special with a birthday crown and balloon.”

He is incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and truly professional. At the same time, he is very friendly and easy to talk to. His English is excellent, which made everything smooth and engaging. It was a real pleasure spending time with him. We also truly appreciated his kindness in picking us up from our…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

Exclusive Pyramids Photoshoot

“This was a great experience! My flight was delayed getting into Cairo and I was allowed to reschedule without a hassle, kuddos to the team. Our photographer was my driver/photographer. He was nice, kind, on time, and provided a lot of knowledge on the city of Cairo itself. My experience was on a Friday (which I highly recommend) which means there were no crowds of people. I also was the only person who booked that day which made the experience…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

“The pictures are so amazing and we had a wonderful time with our photographer during the photoshoot! He knew great poses and angles and made aus feel very comfortable. Communication was a bit challenging when we requested to change dates a week before and did not get a response for three days. But after I called on the phone our guide worked to rearrange things and was able to accommodate our change which we are so grateful for because we will…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor

“Our driver/photographer was our photographer and he was wonderful! Communication was great! They informed us they would be a little late picking us up, which we thought would just be a couple mins but ended up being about 25, which was ok we thought (see final comment). Anyway things went great. Our photographer did a good job speaking English and mostly we were able to communicate without an issue! He explained how to get our tickets to Pyramid…”Read the full review on Tripadvisor
