An amazing bucket list day - We really hit the jackpot when we booked Ramesses for a private tour of the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. The experience was brilliant from start to finish. Ramesses kept... Read full review in touch by What's App so he understood our needs (including regular bathroom breaks). The pick up from Alexandria port was seamless as Ramesses kept in touch sending maps and pictures of where to meet. His knowledge and passion for Egyptian history was evident and his English was very fluent. We had an amazing day which was half the price of the ships tour but twice as enjoyable! We originally looked at a private tour because my husband could not cope with travelling for 3 hours, from Alexandria, on a bus without sufficient legroom. Our vehicle was an 11 seater Toyota Hi-Ace for 6 people including the guide and driver so plenty of room. Would highly recommend Ramesses for anyone wanting a private tour in Egypt.

Thank you, Ramses! - Since I was 8 years old, I’ve dreamed of seeing the pyramids. It was something I held in my heart for so long — and finally, it was about to... Read full review happen. I knew I needed someone special to guide me, so I spent the whole day looking online. That’s when I found Ramses. His reviews were amazing, and something about them just felt right.
I was nervous reaching out. As a woman with a disability, I had a lot of worries. But from the very first conversation, Ramses made me feel safe and cared for. He listened to everything I said and answered with kindness, not just as a guide, but as a human being who truly cares.
He even brought a small chair just for me to rest on during the tour, and carried it the whole time himself, refusing to let my friends help. He did it with so much respect, it honestly made me tear up. That same feeling came again when I saw the pyramids for the first time. It was magical.
Ramses didn’t rush me. He walked at my pace, gave me his hand when I needed support, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. But what touched me even more is that he also took great care of my two friends. He never made them feel left out. We all felt equally seen, respected, and valued.
On top of all this, Ramses is a brilliant storyteller. The way he talked about Egypt’s history made it come alive. You could see the passion in his eyes. He answered every question with so much love for his country.
Thank you, Ramses, from the bottom of my heart. You’re not just a guide — you’re a beautiful soul. I’ll never forget this day.Amanda F

Exceptional full day tour - This was an unforgettable day exploring the heart of Cairo, made truly outstanding by Ramses's exceptional depth of knowledge and passion for Egypt’s history. From the moment I was picked... Read full review up at my airport hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, along with a very kind driver (Fati) the experience was seamless and thoughtfully organized.
Ramses skillfully led me through a full itinerary). At each site, he provided not just history), but rich narratives that illuminated the historical, religious, and cultural significance of every location.
His storytelling was scholarly yet accessible—offering fascinating details on everything from ancient dynasties and architectural symbolism to local customs and traditions. Every question was answered with clarity and enthusiasm, and it was clear I was learning from someone deeply passionate about their country’s legacy.
Lunch was an added highlight, allowing us to enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine in a local restaurant in the market that we’d never have discovered on our own. The schedule and timeline was open and I never felt rushed.
This was not just a tour—it was an education experience. For anyone seeking a deeper, more meaningful experience in Cairo, Ramses delivers on every level.Voyage32452860219

A Remarkable Tour - learned a lot, stepped back in time and had fun. - From the outset of the tour Ramses set the tone - early start to avoid the crowds and heat - open conversation about what we would like to see and... Read full review gave us a list of options. Ramses has boundless energy and passion for Egypt and its history. These were two really full days with lots of site visits, detailed descriptions of what we were seeing and also the context that each tomb, pyramid, and artefact was set in. The tour of both museums left me wanting to know more, Ramses knew where every artefact of real interest was located. On a number of occasions other visitors standing next to us listed intently to his descriptions. We also had a visit to "down town Cairo" - its was great to get a real feel for the city.
Ramses is a professional guide and expert - with high standards of care and making the experience memorable, unique and fun. His academic record on the subject is also an indicator of his expertise and subject matter knowledge, and he makes history accessible to all.
Thank you so much for making this visit to a wonder of world so enjoyable.
Good luck with the books - hope to see them soon in print.

Ramses has extremely intimate knowledge of Egyptian history and culture. He is a direct descendant of Ramses the Great, and is very proud of his heritage. He is working on... read more a PhD in Egyptology and has authored a book. He also made informational videos about various related topics. I learned so much about Egypt during the 1.5 days he was with our group. I asked many questions and he had good stories behind all of his answers. He knows what are the most important and interesting artifacts to visit, and the best time to visit. We truly had a wonderful experience with every thing. He doesn’t try to sell stuff and would warn you at places that are tourist traps. The commercial stores he took us to were not harassing at all and were very fairly priced. I wish he had been with us for our entire stay, would have saved us so much money and time. I highly recommend him to anyone. You should ask for him by name.

Ramses was a phenomenal guide!! His depth of knowledge of the history in Cairo and Giza was outstanding. His style was very adaptive to my needs - I was able... read more to see King Tutankhamun's golden mask without any other tourists around. He took me to a secret tomb at the Great Pyramid and always kept me at ease in crowded tourist areas. He was very personable and open to sharing great restaurant recommendations and never took a cut from vendors. He took great photos with my phone and was great company throughout my 2 days tour in Cairo.

He strived to make every moment... read more special and truely made our trip amazing. The amount of knowledge that Mohie has in Egyptology and Egypts history is incredible - there wasn’t a second where we weren’t learning something and he always had answers to our questions. Mohie made special effort to make sure everyone was comfortable at all times and that the pacing of the tour was right for us. Thanks for making our Egypt trip special Mohie! We will 100% be recommending you to everyone and will be back again for another tour.
