Nahla, was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We visited the Coptic Area, the market and the Civilization Museum. She also took us to a fabulous Egyptian restaurant for lunch. We were touched by her compassion and care for the local feral dogs and cats. She brought food for them and stopped to feed them at every opportunity. We highly recommend her. Steve and Linda Semmer

Nahla was wonderful, we travelled at my pace, she has a wealth of knowledge and was constantly pointing out places and their history. She was able to answer all my questions. We travelled in a lovely air conditioned car with a lovely driver. It was a great day and value for money. Nahla also took some brilliant photos of me in “just the right spot”. 12/10. Thank you Nahla

Excellent experience. Pre-tour communication was very good. Nahla was very knowledgeable and friendly and adapted the tour to our wants (she very quickly learned that we don’t spend hours in museums, we just want to see the highlights). We would recommend her tours.

Nahla was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgeable and her English was perfect, very easy to understand. She was very accommodating and customised the trip to our availability and interests. I wish we had booked all of our Cairo tours with her, and we certainly will next time!
