If you get Khalef you will have an amazing trip that is well structured and tailored to satisfy your needs. Khalef assisted on many occasions with bartering and ensuring that I and my partner was safe on the trip.

From the journeys in the car where we enjoyed the music to visiting and learning fascinating stuff that I had no clue about before in ancient Egyptian history.

We had Ahmed as our guide, he knew plenty and you could tell that he has studied a lot for this job, but he was constantly rushing us. The most egregious example of this, was the first stop after the pyramids of Giza. He constantly rushed us telling us that we had plenty of sights to visit, we believed him as the schedule in the viator page does look pretty busy. to our horror he brought us to what he called "a temple" that ended up being a perfume and tea shop. It was such a depressing thing to receive a class on perfumery right after experiencing the awe of the greatest structures of the ancient world. Would've really appreciated it if he would've just been honest and told us that we would be going to shops afterwards, but the tour company must have a commission and they clearly know that tourists wouldn't want to go there in the first place.

Ahmed needs to be able to align his tour to the interests of the customers, My wife is a painter and she wanted more information and time when we were in the Saqqara painted reliefs but he kept on waving and snapping at us to come to the next room just to be done and go to the next stop. when we were in the car he put the same song 4 times, and he ignored our request to stop repeating it. I know it seems like we are nitpicking here but some people spend there life savings and wait their entire lives to get to see these world wonders... tour guides need to have that in mind and take their job seriously.

We recommend that you tell them to eat in the middle of the tour as we chose to do it at the end and we were starving by then.

Finally we wanted to complement our driver, he was incredible in the traversing the perilous roads of Cairo and always opened the door with a smile also the tour company EMO tours are wonderful as they were very responsible and on time to pick us up.

It was truly a wonderful experience with Amira! She went over everything with us in deep details and really made us feel welcome on the tour. The driver Abdullah was super qualified even though the traffic is pretty crazy here, he made us feel safe in the car so 10/10 experience.
