We had a fantastic city tour with Sherine. She is a very knowledgeable guide and it was great to walk with her through the magic city of Cairo. You can ask her all questions and she gives great insights in yesterday’s and current living in Egypt. She is speaking perfect English. We got great tips as well from her and we ended our great day in Abou El Sid restaurant thanks to her.

This was the perfect introduction to Egypt. Sherine is knowledgeable, personable, and extremely professional. We were joining a tour group for 10 days, and gave Sherine a list of the things that we were going to see with them. She tailored our day with her so that we would see different parts of Cairo not covered with the tour group. She made sure that she was covering everything that we were interested in, and made us feel that we were spending the day with an old friend! Highly recommend!

Sherine was fabulous! She is smart, lively, informative and fun. She was flexible in tailoring our day. And she is a great driver in this chaotic city of drivers. We recommend her highly.

Great tour with Sherine. Very prompt and courteous. She gave us a great overview of the history and customs. Really enjoyed Garbage City visit. Nice lunch in Khan El Kahlil bazaar. We enjoyed the tour so much we booked another (all day Alexandria) with her.

Sherine organised every single detail of this trip. She contacted the concerned persons in Minya who could get us police permission to visit the monastery and give us an exclusive tour of the church. She organised the car and food and picked me up from my hotel. Such a hassle-free and wonderful trip perfectly tailored for my particular requirement. I had wanted very much to visit Deir Al Adra on Gabal Teir and Sherine made this dream of mine come true. Thank you Sherine.
