Fantastic memorable trip Excellent service by Mr Mohamed Sobhy. He took his time to understand what we wanted to see and explained everything in appropriate details. He engaged very well with our teenage children too and made our trip to the pyramids and museum very enjoyable in a short space of time. We would recommend him again.

A dream come true: Unforgettable experience in Giza. Seeing the great pyramids complex and the sphinx was my dream since I was 11 years old. In October of 2024 I was able to accomplish that and guided by the best guide tour: Mohammed Sobhy. He made our day by explaining every detail and increasing my passion for Egyptian history. If you want to have an amazing experience in Egypt and learn a lot about the history, culture of the Ancient Egypt you should definitely choose a guide like him.
