Cairo Guide Services by Mr. Omar

Rated 5.0 out of 5
October 18, 2023

Our visit to Cairo recently was wonderful on many levels due to the expert guidance of Mr. Omar. We were a group of 8 family members, ranging in age from 4 to 70 and Mr. Omar was very patient with us with our constant changes in plan over the 3 days he spent with us. We visited architectural sites in Cairo and the pyramids in Giza and Dahshur. We enjoyed the sights, sounds, the history, the culture, the food and the people of Egypt, all with the very personnable, knowledgeable and experienced tour guide, Mr. Omar.

Tour with Mr. Omar (Egyxotic Tours)

Rated 5.0 out of 5
May 29, 2023

During my recent vacation, I had the pleasure of being accompanied by Egyxotic Tours represented by our outstanding tour guide Mr.Omar. He was knowledgeable, experienced and very well-versed in the history and culture of Egypt. From the moment we met, he provided us with a warm and friendly welcome and throughout the tour he was courteous, attentive and always willing to go the extra mile to make our experience memorable. His communication skills were impressive and he was able to convey information in an engaging and entertaining manner that kept us intrigued. He was also very accommodating to our needs and preferences as we were traveling with our elderly parents. He was always willing to adjust the itinerary or provide recommendations on places to eat, shop and explore. Overall, I would highly recommend Egyxotic Tours to anyone looking for an exceptional travel experience to Cairo. I would also like to personally thank Mr. Omar for his professionalism, expertise, and dedication to make our tour enjoyable, stress free, and a trip we’ll never forget.
