One week visit of Cairo, its surroundings and Alexandria

Reviewed April 13, 2019

I just finished a one week tour of Cairo, its surroundings and Alexandria. From the beginning Amir prepared a tailored itinerary and included everything I wanted to do and see during the tour taking in consideration  my budget. At all times, he made sure I was alright from the time he picked me up at the airport to the time I left. If he was not around, he would call the guide to check on me. Everything went as planned and I always felt safe, Amir is completely dedicated to his guests.  He arranges your airport transfers both ways. While other tourists have to walk long distances to get to their bus, Amir's driver stays close to the sites ready to pick you up after each visit.  Amir's explanations about all the sites are amazing. By having a tailored itinerary, you get to see things that are not on the regular tourist list such as Cairo City of the Dead and Garbage City. Amir takes you to eat Egyptian food like koshari,  fresh falafel in local restaurants where very few tourists go. Staying with Amir's team for a whole week allows you to learn more about the customs, the way of life of Egyptians and you just have fun. Amir Sadek is very professional and a knowledgeable Egyptologist, I had a lot of questions and he answered them all. He never rushes you and makes sure you enjoy the tour.  Our driver was outstanding in all situations. The prices charged are very competitive with a tailored itinerary. I highly recommend Amir's tour guide services and will definitely plan other trips with his company in other parts of Egypt. Thank you for making this week one of my best holidays.

Hassle free and fantastic holiday thanks to Amir

Reviewed April 12, 2019

Seven of us (two familes with kids) just completed a 9 day holiday through Cairo, Aswan and Luxor, including the Nile cruise. It was one of the most satisfying holidays we have had thanks to having a tour guide manage everything from the time we landed to the time we took off. And Amir was exceptional in looking after us through this trip, either himself, or through his colleage- Rajab at other places. They were knowledgeable, courteous, mindful and flexible with our needs and there were no surprises through the trip, which is very important for peace of mind in general, and in Egypt in specific where we had heard horror stories about tips and being hassled. 

Since both of them were obviously extremely experienced, from the beginning, they proactively made suggestions, alerted us to being ripped off, to places which may not be relevant, pointed us to excellent eateries depending on what we wanted to try, and made the trip fun for our kids through games and challenges throughout. Amir, despite being in Cairo, after seeing us off our initial leg of the trip, continued to check in several times a day to make sure our needs were being met. 

We were lucky to have them on our trip, and would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to squeeze the most out of everything that Egypt has to offer.

Professor

Reviewed April 10, 2019

It's amazing to have a professor as your guide. May be Amir doesn't have this title, but he has more then enough knowledge to get it. Besides all these special historical sites he had shown us, he also helped us to discover Egyptian cuisine in a small, local, non-touristic places, explained local customs etc. It was also great to feel safe with him in the city as Cairo.

Now we cannot imagine, how we will handle the trip without him.

P.S. One suggestion, don't afraid to ask him, he has an answer :)
