Mohammad is a very welcoming and charming guide. He made our experience of egypt very memorable and worthwhile. All the small hassles on being in a new country, he took care of. His service was impeccable. We had two little kids who could gey cranky any second but Mohammad made them feel very comfortable and took care of them while we explored. I would 100% reccomend his services to anyone going to egypt.

intense experience, our guide was knowledgeable, kind and professional
Perhaps it would be interesting to include a morning and afternoon coffee break and a proposal for a lunch break, we were visiting for a full 6 hours without stopping.

I had some very specific requests to have a certain experience and see certain things. The Team went way above and beyond to make those things happen. Friendly, out-going, not pushy, and very knowledgeable. Recommend highly.

I met Muhammad when I was touring Zuweyla gate. He took me through the more local areas of Khan el Khalili - streets I would never have found on my own and definitely would have gotten lost in if I'd wandered into by accident. He also taught me how to tell the difference between higher quality and lower quality wares, and shared some local stories and advice on getting around Cairo. As a woman walking alone that day, I could not have asked for a better companion!! I felt very safe with him as my guide in an unfamiliar neighborhood, and he tried to help me figure out my transportation later when my phone was struggling. I enjoyed learning more local knowledge. I will definitely recommend him either as a tour guide or an Arabic teacher!
