Nesreen was very communicative so we knew exactly where to meet well in advance and the logistics were all very smooth. She took us to the ‘classic’ exhibits and to some less well-known things, explaining how the history progressed from old to new kingdoms and providing context and insight. Overall we had a great tour and got so much more from the experience than we would have done had we gone on our own or with a large group. Thanks Nesreen! Knowledgeable and friendly

This was our second tour with Nesreen and it was excellent. She helped us navigate this big museum and avoid the crowds. She gave us time to enjoy the exhibits and taught us a lot in a fun and interesting way. Nesreen was excellent with my teenage kids and very caring when one wasn’t feeling well that day and adjusted the tour to suit our needs. She also helped us so much by booking a restaurant for later in the day and giving us countless tips and ideas for the rest of our stay! Old Egyptian museum

Nesreen was in contact with me almost immediately after booking the tour. She was extremely helpful with information before I came and arranged my airport transfers.
She is an excellent local having been a teacher and a long term Egyptian guide. The entire time we were engaged in discussions regarding the historical, political and cultural aspects of Egypt.
She certainly knows her role and having travelled extensively herself is a genuine international person. She is very decent.
I highly valued and appreciated my time with Nasreen. She catered to my needs and went over and above what one can expect.
Highly recommended Excellent

Mido was eager to please on short notice. I picked him on a last-minute decision and he was still prompt. His communication was excellent and he went out of his way to help me with other parts of my Cairo trip. Knew where to go among the pyramids to avoid the crowds and get the best views. Knowledgeable and helpful. Great guy

We had a wonderful and highly enriching experience with Maga. My wife is vision impaired, and Maga was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and responsive to my wife's needs. His knowledge and insights took us back through the history of this must-see historical landmark giving another dimension to our experience. In short, his enthusiasm for archaeology and his love of sharing this made all the difference. I cannot recommend more highly Maga as a tour guide.God of all guides

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.

We spent a fascinating half day exploring the Egyptian Museum with Maga.
As an archaeologist, Maga brings great insight into the history of Egypt and it's pharoahs. However, if you only want to see and hear the usual stories, Maga probably isn't the first choice.
He had taken on board what we were interested in and did his best to show us everything we wanted to see.
He showed us many fascinating, and often overlooked, key exhibits, as well as the unmissable ones such as Tutankhamen.
We had made the mistake of booking a Friday afternoon, so our time was limited.
Would happily use again.Great afternoon at the Egyptian Museum

Absolutely outstanding tour with Maga! He took us through Cairo like a true local—showing us hidden gems, sharing fascinating stories, and making the entire experience unforgettable. His deep knowledge of history and archaeology was incredible, and to top it off, he speaks fluent Russian! Super friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate. If you’re in Cairo, you must book with Maga—you won’t regret it!Cairo insider & history buff

Had a great tour of local Cairo restaurants with Mido. Food was delicious and the staff in the restaurants were really welcoming. Mido introduced us to local dishes for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I would recommend a wider variety of restaurants to truly get a flavour for all local dishes. Mido was a great host and very knowledgeable of the history and areas we visited. I would recommend the tour and Mido as a great host. Thank you ❤️10 Tastings of Cairo

Thank you for Maga for taking us around the Pyramids of Giza, Dahshur (Bent Pyramid), and Saqqara! It was wonderful hearing about the pyramids through an academic perspective - Maga is an archaeologist who has worked on the pyramids and has a PhD degree (working on a second one)! We learned so much today and he answered all of our questions as best as he could. The Giza pyramids were grand, Bent Pyramid was a workout (although worth going to), and Saqqara had beautiful mastabas! He also had amazing food recommendations for us around town and the car was super comfortable. Highly recommended!Learned so much about the pyramids!

Mohammed is a wonderful guide and storyteller of ancient Egypt. He is, first of all, a professional archaeologist, which is why his excursions are special and go through the main places, but not along standard tourist paths. He will tell and show you amazing things of ancient Egypt, culture and art. Personal qualities: decent, responsible, punctual, speaks Russian well. First of all, I recommend him to the professional community of archaeology, there will be a good exchange of experience. Thank you very much, we will remember these 2 days of excursion forever!Wonderful guide

Thanks you sooooo much Nesreen (Nana) for giving us the most perfect day one in Egypt!
From the communication prior to our arrival, your friendly welcome when we met, your wonderful knowledge of Egyptian history and local life, we loved drinking it all in with you as our guide!
Nana went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, we are so grateful for all the extra bits she arranged that made it just right for us, the transportation, the wee camel ride (photos we will treasure) and finding us endless toilet stops 😂
Anyone going to Cairo needs Nana... We were just fizzing after our tour!

If you are looking for a knowledgable, friendly, fascinating and lovely guide in Cairo - look no further. Nana truly is a guide of all guides. We went with her to the pyramids (she picked us up and organised a taxi for the rest of the group) and she took us to quieter spots and great photo opportunity moments.. The next day we booked her for the Egyptian Museum as she knew exactly how to pace it.. She was super interesting, patient, caring and kept our 4 kids (from teenagers to older) fascinated! I would say pls pls book her as you won’t be disappointed ! (If you can get her !) The amazing Nesreen (Nana)

Moustafa was truly the best guide I've ever had. He went above and beyond, starting with a phone call in which we discussed my interests and what I wanted to get out of the tour. He customized our say based on my interests, and confirmed our meeting point. While on the tour, he made himself available to answer any question I had - I am a curious person, I asked a lot, he didn't hesitate to answer. He's incredibly articulate, can get deep into the history (if you're interested), and share insights into how what society was like in different periods of time and how things have evolved to where we are today. He opened my eyes into seeing the world from a different perspective - I'm incredibly grateful. Safety was a top priority, he ensured I was safe and felt comfortable. He was always looking out for me as I negotiated in the market. I felt like I made a friend at the end of the tour.
I did this tour solo while my friends were working - They all regret not joining me. 10/10 would go on another tour with Moustafa when I return to Egypt. The best way to visit Cairo!

We recently returned from a wonderful bespoke holiday in Egypt with many highlights, from living like a king for two days at the Al Moudira Hotel in Luxor, to 5 days cruising the Nile in total privacy on the Dahabeya Aqua, to 2 blissful nights in the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan. We topped it off with three nights at the brand new Giza Palace Hotel and Spa. All fantastic.
But what made the end of our trip really special was the two days we spent with Nesreen exploring the pyramids, temples and tombs of Saqqara and Giza, and old Cairo, street food included. Nesreen makes Cairo come alive, transferring a regular tourist trip into a deep dive into Egypt's and Cairo's rich and fascinating history. Her warm and fun personality certainly adds to the experience, as does her deep knowledge of both Egyptian ancient and modern society. We wish we would have had more days to explore Both Cairo and the region with Nesreen as our guide, and when (not if) we visit Cairo again, Nesreen will be the first person to call! Thank you, Nana!!!
Warm regards from Marcus, Mariangels and Dylan (listening to Amr Diab's new album right now!).Two blissful days with Nesreen!!

We enjoyed our day with Moustafa at the Giza Pyramids, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed exploring the pyramids and appreciated him taking us to a tomb we wouldn't have found on our own. We wanted to leave early to avoid the midday sun, we were grateful he was happy to accommodate this. Very Friendly & knowledgeable

We had the absolute pleasure of having Maga as our tour guide during our visit to Egypt, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Maga took us on a breathtaking journey through the iconic Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum, bringing history to life with his incredible knowledge and passion for Ancient Egypt.
What sets Maga apart is his deep expertise as a professional archaeologist. He’s not just a guide – he’s someone who has dedicated his life to uncovering and understanding Egypt's rich history. He shared fascinating insights and stories that went far beyond the standard tourist information, making every moment of the tour both educational and captivating.
Maga is also a rare gem in the world of guides. He didn’t waste time dragging us to unnecessary shopping stops, as so many others do. Instead, he focused entirely on delivering an authentic, high-quality experience filled with meaningful information and awe-inspiring sights.
What’s even more exciting is that Maga specializes in exploring lesser-known, even more fascinating places across Egypt. It’s clear we’ve only scratched the surface, and we’re already planning our next trip to discover more with him. If you’re passionate about history, archaeology, or simply want to experience Egypt through the eyes of someone who truly loves and respects its culture, Maga is the guide for you."Unveiling Ancient Egypt: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey with the Incredible Maga!"

We were in Cairo at the end of February 2021. We ordered 4 days of excursions for 6 people from Mohammed (Magamed). From the very beginning, we liked the guide's attitude to organizing excursions. We agreed on everything via WhatsApp, he responded as quickly and clearly as possible. Good, understandable Russian. For the six of us, we were provided with a minibus with a separate driver and a security guard from the tourist police (according to the laws of the country, groups of more than 5 people must be accompanied by security). Mohammed himself was our guide for two days out of four. This was the day when we saw the Cairo Museum and the Pyramids of Giza and the day with the pyramids of Dahshur and Saqqara. Magnificent excursions, conducted with soul, a lively, professional story from an archaeologist specialist. You can feel the love for his profession and the desire to convey this love to the listener. We learned a lot of things that you will not find in any guidebook, visited places that you would hardly get to if you visited on your own. Mohammed organized two other excursions (a sightseeing tour of Cairo with a visit to the camel market near Cairo and another excursion to Alexandria) with other guides, those who can show their hometown better, know every corner well. All the excursions were eventful. I also really liked the guide in Cairo, but compared to other guides, Mohammed is the best! In addition to his professional qualities, he is a very nice person, intelligent, calm, smiling. I can safely recommend Mohammed to everyone as an excellent guide and organizer. Maga, big greetings to you from our entire group, success in your work, more grateful tourists and all the best to you and your family.4 days not enough

When visiting Cairo, choose Maga as your guide! He is perfect for both: visiting Islamic Cairo and visiting the wonders of ancient Egypt. My teenage son and I spent two individually tailored days with him. He opened our eyes in fascinating and unexpected ways whereever we went. He knows it all, and he knows how to transfer his knowledge. Highly professional, very polite, and very accomodating to all one's need throughout the day. Maga is the best! Absolutely perfect!

Before writing, I read the previous reviews with great pleasure. I am very glad that people speak so warmly about Mohammed's work. We traveled around Egypt for 11 days and we have something to compare with. Mohammed is the best! Let's start with the fact that he is an active archaeologist, a scientist, and this is very valuable. In three days spent next to Mohammed, we learned a lot of interesting things from the history of Ancient Egypt, which are simply impossible to find on your own. In fact, we learned the history of Egypt! We found this especially interesting, because these are facts presented by a person who has been engaged in science all his life. This helped us a lot, since the guide in Luxor was very unsuccessful, but we were armed with the knowledge put into our heads by Mohammed! I mean that if I could go back, I would invite Mohammed with me and would not spare any money! But, you must agree, not every person wants to be around 24 hours. Now I come to the main thing! In addition to the fact that I absolutely agree with the previous reviews about the organization: everything is very clear, not a single minute in lines, flexible attitude when planning excursions, Mahkhomed is simply a very good person: intelligent, smart, educated, with a great sense of humor, an intellectual. You can talk to him for hours on any topic, his excellent Russian allows you to do this. I am very glad that from the first day we have developed a comfortable, friendly relationship! Mahkhomed, thank you for the wonderful 3 days in Cairo! We are very glad to meet you! We are already dreaming of flying to the new museum again!100 over 10

Nesreen is an amazing guide, person, expert and ambassador for Egypt. She was prompt (exactly on time for pickup), super friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. While tour was for pyramids and food, she added other locations (City of the dead, Heliopolis etc) as it became possible traffic and time wise.
I have already recommended her to my friends and am planning a family visit to Egypt with Nesreen as our guide!

Wie reisen sehr viel und haben viel Erfahrung mit Tourguides. Nesreen war eine der besten. Sie spricht hervorragendes Englisch, sie hat ein außerordentliches und umfangreiches Wissen, nicht nur im Bereich der Ägyptologie, sie hat unsere Tour individuell und flexibel gestaltet. Schon im Vorhinein hatte sie sich nach unseren Wünschen und Bedürfnissen erkundigt. Sie war einfach zu kontaktieren und sie hat sehr schnell geantwortet.
Für uns war die Tour mit Nesreen eine "once in a lifetime experience", weil wir dank Nesreen in der kurzen Zeit sehr viel über die Pyramiden, aber auch über das Leben im modernen Ägypten lernen durften. once in a lifetime

My husband and I could not have wished for a better guide than Nana! Already from the very first message I received from her I knew she would be the perfect match. And we were not disappointed! She has the perfect mix of knowledge, humor and sarcasm (something us Dutch love;)) It was like walking around with a walking and talking encyclopedia (yes I am from that period) but the interesting and funny kind. Whatever she said you just had to listen and she explains it in a way that it sticks with you. I can honestly say she is the best guide we ever had. If you look for a guide, don’t look further, Nana is your gal!Match made by the pharaohs!

If Indiana Jones and an Egyptian goddess had a lovechild, it would definitely be our amazing tour guide Nana!
From the very first moment, we knew we were in the best hands. With a smile that could outshine the desert sun and a brain packed with mind-blowing knowledge, Nana led us through the inspiring world of the Giza Pyramids. And this wasn’t some boring history lecture – nope! Nana brought ancient Egypt to life with passion and humor.
She told us stories about pharaohs, decoded hieroglyphs, and dropped (fun) facts that had us saying “No way!” every five minutes. She made us laugh, made us think, and had us completely hooked from start to finish.
And let’s talk about the photo magic! Nana turned quick stops into mini photo shoots – complete with hilarious posing tips and genius photo hacks. We left with unforgettable memories!
Thank you, Nana, for one of the most fun, educational, and unforgettable experiences of our lives. You didn’t just show us Egypt – you made us feel it. The culture, the history, the soul of it all. We are truly grateful and already miss your energy!
Final verdict: 10 out of 10 camels – Highly recommend!A Day with Nana – The Queen of Giza!

She picked us up with her car and dropped us back to our hotel and suggested other interesting things to do in Cairo which we found very helpful. She made sure nobody hassled us during our tour and everything went smooth. You will be lucky to find such a smart and honest person as your tour guide. She is the BEST

Definitely someone who is skeptical of going with a guide, but Nasreen (Nana) was super excited, knowledgeable, and accommodating for our unique pyramids itinerary. We started in the morning and traveled to Giza, had a lovely breakfast at Khufu’s, and checked out the Sphinx. You should go inside the pyramids, but be warned it’s physically demanding and not visually spectacular inside- the most in tact Egyptian burial art is in the valley of the kings in Luxor. Overall, definitely worth going with Nana for her encyclopedic explanations of ancient Egyptian history, and larger context for the country’s current culture/identity. Highlight of our trip!Hire Nana If You Can!

We got lucky finding Nesreen for our trip to the pyramids in Cairo! She made our day so much better than we expected. After reading horror stories online about pushy guides and tourist traps in Egypt, I was pretty worried. But Nesreen was nothing like that.
She kept things fun and interesting for all of us - even managed to keep our teenage boys engaged! She never rushed us or pushed us into any shops, which was a huge relief.
Her English is great, and she knows her stuff about Egyptian history. What really stood out was how incredibly trustworthy she is - we felt completely at ease with her the entire time. Her kindness and generosity showed in everything she did, from taking extra time to explain things to my kids to helping us navigate local customs.
We also really appreciated how she suggested other cool places we should check out during our trip and even offered to call places to help us make reservations. That extra effort made a big difference.
If you're heading to Cairo and want a guide you can actually trust, Nesreen is your person. She made our pyramid visit one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt!A Genuinely Kind and Knowledgeable Guide

For anyone heading to Egypt, whether it’s your first visit or returning, do yourself a favor and book Moustafa. No need to look further. He completely enhanced our experience, and the day we spent with him was easily the best day of our entire trip.
Moustafa is the real deal. He makes you feel instantly comfortable and taken care of. He’s warmly kind-hearted, funny, on-time and beyond knowledgeable about everything from ancient mythology to modern politics, and everything in between. He is the best of local experts who listens, connects, and tailors the experience to you.
In Egypt, we learned that accessing the best locations (and often safety) depend who you’re with. And Moustafa knows everyone. Whether it was getting into the most iconic sites with zero hassle, avoiding tourist traps, or just feeling safe and respected in every interaction—we had that because of him. The locals clearly know and respect him, and that respect extended to us in ways we didn’t expect but really appreciated.
On top of all that, he knows where to find truly the best photos, better than you’d dream of. And the best Egyptian food! Everything was clear, transparently priced, and flexible. No pressure, just good energy.
He’s also an amazing storyteller. He brought ancient Egypt to life in a way that felt personal and relevant, with connections to world history that made us see things differently. He clearly loves what he does, and you can feel his passion.
We cannot recommend Moustafa strongly enough. Plus, a special thanks to our excellent and friendly driver who took care of us from the very beginning to the very end of the tour!
Thank you again Moustafa for an unforgettable day.The best guide of Egypt

Abdou was absolutely amazing during our time in Luxor. We visited the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and the Open-Air Museum—all stunning places made even better by Abdou’s incredible knowledge of Egyptian history. He explained everything in such a simple and interesting way, and we never felt overwhelmed.
What really impressed us was how much he went above and beyond. We needed help arranging a driver for another destination and advice on hot air ballooning, and Abdou handled it all like a pro. Honestly, he’s better than most hotel concierges! He made everything feel easy and stress-free.
If you’re visiting Luxor, Abdou is the guide you want. He’s kind, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about making sure you have the best experience. We couldn’t have asked for more!amazing tour with abdou

Mohamed is an amazing guide, not just knowledgeable with the history and explanations, but also a memory creator!!! He knows exactly the perfect spots to get incredible and unique photos with the visited landmarks, where despite being in high season we were by ourselves!!!Amazing tour guide

We had the most fabulous day with Nesreen. She is incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the day to meet our needs- really going the extra mile to find the best spots.
I would highly recommend!
