Our Tour Guides
On our Signature tours, you are guaranteed to be escorted by a local, English-speaking tour guide. All of our guides know their destinations inside out, and many have worked with us for many years. We carefully select them based on their knowledge, passion, and personality.
When asking our customers for feedback, our tour guides are often mentioned as being the highlight of the trip. Whether it's their expert knowledge of the destination, the feeling of safety and security being guided by a local, or simply being advised on the best restaurant to visit for dinner, our guides make our Signature tours what they are. And we're incredibly proud of our people!

Sponsored Training in Egypt
It's not easy committing to years of study to qualify as an Egyptologist guide. So, we launched an initiative in Egypt where we sponsor one of our talented transfer reps through university, at the end of which they will be a fully qualified guide, well versed in Egyptology. Our most recent graduate is Sherif Fawzy, who is now a fully qualified Egyptologist and licensed tour guide, leading group and private tours across the country. Previously our Field Manager in Cairo, you can now join Sherif on many of our Egypt departures, including our award-winning King Tutankhamun and King Ramses tours. We're always on the lookout for future talent in our Egyptian guiding team!
