Fatma Mohammed arrived early for the 8:00am pickup and rang the room to introduce herself, this made it very easy to spot her when we came down to reception. Fatma was super friendly and immediately put us at ease. In the car driving to the Egyptian Museum she chatted at length about the day, the area, the lengthy and difficult process of becoming a tour guide in Egypt and the car journey soon passed with Lots of conversation and laughter. We were passed swiftly through tickets and security and into the Egyptian museum, where starting at the top Fatma spent time telling us the stories and mysteries that made the artefacts come to life, she knew exactly where to go and what to see and we were enthralled by her stories, we had luckily landed on a quiet day and had time and space to see everything we wanted, Fatma was able to easily answer any questions we had, and point out anything we may have missed. We then spent an hour in the Bazaar and as we weren’t overly interested in shopping were able to look at the beautiful mosques and buildings and learn some more history about the area. The next stop was the Citadel were we had time to take in the stunning views, appreciate the architecture, learn some more interesting stories, relax in the stunning mosque and soak in the atmosphere. We finished the day with a late lunch on the river chatting and laughing over good food with Fatma and Michel, our driver for the day. Fatma was the friendliest, most knowledgeable and interesting tour guide I have ever been lucky enough to have and wish that I could have her with me for every trip. I highly recommend this trip and Fatma as your guide.Was picked up from my Hotel in Cairo by Ian Rasha and her driver.

Was picked up from my Hotel in Cairo by Ian Rasha and her driver. One by one we visited the citadel ,Egyptian museum, bazaar and finished with food. My tour guide had all the knowledge about every attraction , and all the artifacts in the museum. I was very impressed. She answered all questions and gave me plenty of time to see every attraction properly on my first day in Cairo. It was really enjoyable. Also I was contacted by the tour guide the day before to confirm pick up location and drop which was so helpful. Overall I have to give a 5/5 for this tour and highly recommend this tour with Tree of Life Day Tours :)We just finished our private two day tour of Cairo with our travel guide Yasser (Tree of Life).

We just finished our private two day tour of Cairo with our travel guide Yasser (Tree of Life). It was amazing. Day 1 went so quickly before my husband and I knew it, the day was over, leaving us excited for Day 2. Day 1 exploring Giza: Our English speaking guide, Yasser, and driver picked us up at our hotel, unfortunately, we were running late but Yasser was very polite and understanding . We headed to the pyramids of Giza. Yasser whisked us through the lines and within minutes we were briefed on the history of the pyramids of Giza. Without asking, Yasser offered to take photos of us, he's quite the professional and got photos we would have never taken on our own. We were then driven to the top plateau to ride the camels, don't pass this up, we got photos that you can't get from and other side of the pyramids. I can't recommend enough that you take the Tree of Life guided tour, it guide Yasser custom tailored each day according to our needs. We skipped a few items in the agenda, extended some parts of the visits and shortened where we felt we didn't want to spend as much time there. That was the best part of getting a private guide, Yasser listened to what we were most interested in and provided more historical data and time on these subject matters.We went on a trip with our guide Manar. The views were breathtaking and our guide explaned us the history of Cairo so Well ! She was just perfect ! As a guide, as a human being and as a friend. Ps : she is an amazing photographer too !!!!!

We had booked all our tours from Australia and on our 2nd day we meet rasha. We quickly learned not all guides live up to the standard Rasha sets. She took the time to find out our interests and tailored the day specifically to us. Allowing us to spend the most amount of out time in the places we wanted to see. Rasha's English and accent is excellent, and he knowledge of the subject is endless, again not all guides live up to the standard Rasha sets. I'd recommend emailing ahead and asking for Rasha, you won't be disappointed. Rasha, thank you for everything, I'll be contacting you when we return.
