The BEST — Mahmoud brought dry and dusty to life in Cairo - Mahmoud was extremely knowledgeable — passionate — about Egyptian history. This was not surprising: we learned he is getting a Masters degree in the subject and so was able... read more to tell us about new room discoveries that had just been made in one of the pyramids that was not widely known. He was able to share his knowledge in an engaging way, had a great sense of humour, knew how to take the best pictures, and adapted very well to our group dynamic. There was no question that he could not answer and he set us small challenges: how do you think this was done, was this King alive or dead, etc. which we enjoyed. As well, he was very willing to have open discussions about anything, giving us what we felt were real insights into Egyptian life, world view, and the Quran. All logistics were smoothly managed, and he arranged for our driver Ahmed, who was excellent too. It is impossible to choose the best part of our two days of tours with Mahmoud as there were so many highlights in the Cairo/Egyptian Museum, the pyramids at Sakhara and Giza, Citadel, very very very good local restaurants both days and great restaurant tips for our dinners. We were so grateful for the opportunity at the end of the first day to have a cruise on the Nile in a fallouca [small sailboat], to cool down after a long day, and see the City from the water.

From the minute his... read more driver picked us up from the airport in the morning until the minute he dropped us off at night, Mahmoud made sure that the experience was fun, educational, and relaxed.

He also made us feel comfortable and right at home from the moment we met. By the end of the day we were already making plans to bring the rest of our family back to Egypt to go on another tour with Mahmoud. The pre-planned itinerary made sure that we were able to see everything we would possibly need to see and even included getting us into a few areas that were typically not open to the public.

Overall, it was an 11 out of 10. I cannot recommend this tour enough if you are looking to get the most out of your time in Egypt.
