Mi nombre es Mohamed Dawood Trabajo en el British Council De lo contrario, me gusta acoger y guiar turistas por eso estudié orientación durante 9 meses para poder hacerlo de una buena manera con conocimientos. Han pasado casi 3 años y medio desde que ' Empecé a recibir y guiar turistas en El Cairo.
Be very careful with this “free” tour. Our guide Mohamed, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable at the beginning, but his energy dropped halfway through. We had tickets to enter two pyramids, yet we were never informed that they close at 4 p.m. After entering the first pyramid, instead of taking us straight to the second one, he stopped at a café to drink coffee and chat. We even paid for his coffee and water. Only after that did he tell us it was already past 4 p.m. and the second pyramid was closing. He said he would “try to ask,” and we barely managed to get in. Afterward, he repeatedly said we got in because of him, which felt manipulative and uncomfortable. At the end of the tour, we tipped $15 per person. He immediately demanded more money. Wasn’t this advertised as a free tour? Aren’t tips supposed to reflect the quality of the service? He refused to let us leave and insisted on $20 per person. We argued for about 30 minutes, and in the end, we were forced to give him all the cash we had just to leave. To make things worse, he then almost forced me to write a review on the spot, which is completely unacceptable. I told him I would write it later and left. If you are not willing to pay more than $20 per person under pressure, do not take this tour.
This tour was amazing! Mohamed takes so much time to explain and answer all the questions. You end up knowing not only about the Pyramids, but how they tie into Egypts history. The pictures he takes are also amazing. It is basically a professional shoot he does with a real camera. I got around 30 amazing pictures and have never looked better. I could not recommend this tour more and will try his other tours once I am back in Egypt.
Highly recommended. Mohamed has been a great guide - informative, patient, and most of all he took lots of great photos for us. He's very passionate on the tour and we learned a lot about the pyramids from his tour PLUS the professional photos as a bonus. Definitely recommended.
Mohamed is a great tour guide. From the start you can tell he truly cares about his customers, and tailors the tour to his audience to ensure you get a personalized experience. He is very knowledgeable and great with a camera. Would very much recommend him to anyone looking for a tour guide, and I will personally be recommending friends to him in the future. Thanks for a great experience Mohamed!
Our tour at the Great Pyramids today exceeded all expectations. Mohamed was the best guide we could have asked for, extremely knowledgeable, chatty and fun. He made a real effort to tailor the experience to what we wanted and to deliver the information in an engaging and personalised way. He also went above and beyond to capture some great photos of us, he really knows how to work a camera! Thanks again, Mohamed!
