Hamdi is flexible, reasonable and reliable person. Without any planning, I just requested my hotel to arrange airport transfer services before my arrival. When I arrived in Cair airport, he was the one waiting for me and I felt I met a right person. On the way to the hotel, he listened my interests and needs carefully, and proposed a an one day tour for the following day. His explanation on the price of his service was clear and I was comfortable with it. Although it became a bit busy day, I enjoyed visiting some old pyramids (red and bent pyramids), old Cairo and night dinner cruise on Nile river a lot. The price for the dinner cruise was not so cheap, foods and drinks were nice enough and performances were amazing. He occupied the best seat to see the performance for me. I didn't expect to dance with the performers, the experience became my nice memory now. He knows how to entertain people, too.Leila T

If you have a bit of time in Cairo and a hitlist of attractions I can't recommend Adventure In Egypt highly enough. They are knowledgeable, infinitely flexible, highly organised and excellent value. My guide Shaimaa has led hundreds of tours but that hasn't dampened her enthusiasm for all the wonders this city has to offer. Everywhere we went she knew the best restaurants, vantage points and locations of rare cultural treasures (including secret carvings tucked out of sight of most tour groups) ensuring I have a cache of amazing memories I will savour forever. I've just been uploading my photos and can't believe I was standing at the foot of the pyramids only last month! Leilaemily_loves_food

I went on a school trip all by myself and didn’t know anyone else going. Little did I know that our tour guide, Hamdi, would become one of my friends and fit in with our group of students!! He answered all of my questions and new so much about the Jewish community and history of Cairo, which is something I was interested in. He was a main reason why my trip to Cairo was soooo special, and I am glad to know I have an awesome friend there now! If I ever come back I will definitley want him as a tour guide again, so knowledgeable but also so nice and friendly to all of us.davidyelee

I cannot recommend Adventure in Egypt enough. I was in Cairo for a Study Trip with my University and I cannot tell you how AMAZING my experience was with Adventures in Egypt. From the moment we were picked up from the airport to the moment we were dropped off, I had a magical time in Egypt thanks to Adventures in Egypt. Our tour guide, Hamdi, went above and beyond his job to ensure that we were having a great time in Egypt. When we made requests that were not a part of the itinerary, he was happy to accommodate them. He is passionate about his job and truly cares about his clients. When you are with Hamdi, you feel like you're a part of his family. I cannot wait to return to Egypt to explore more of this beautiful country with Adventures in Egypt.pins222

Many thanks to Adventure in Egypt and their guide Mohammed Hedar for our great day visiting Memphis, Saqqara and the Giza pyramids. A great guide made a huge difference given how little we knew in advance. His recommendations on what to do, timeliness given our tour was organised with about 12 hours notice and attention to our interests and needs were all really appreciated. As business visitors to Cairo with one day free, we were incredibly glad we defied heat and scare-mongering on personal security to take the day's tour. Really recommend the Solar/Khufu boat museum at Giza also - not often you see a boat thousands of years old!sedlat

I just came back from a week-long stay in incredible Cairo. What a great place! A big "thank you" to Hamdi and his team for making my short stay so memorable. Went exploring at Memphis, Sakkara, Dashur and Giza and enjoyed the tours very much. Felt absolutely safe and will definitely return soon....
