The Egypt unplugged tour was an amazing experience and all the sights just exceeded my expectations but Medo and on the go tours truly made the experience exceptional with their kindness, passion and dedication. Medo was so knowledgeable and it was just inspiring to see the passion he has for Egypt, thank you Medo. I would highly recommend on the go tours.

When we booked this tour back in February we really weren’t sure what we were signing up for. The tour blurb sounded too good to be true, particularly for the money we paid. We thought it was cool that our tour guide was an Egyptologist but we didn’t set our expectations too high. So of course we were blown away when we met Medo. We chose to do the day tour to Alexandria and although there were only two of us, Medo’s energy was unwavering and his passion for his country was incredible. We instantly knew that the next 2 weeks would be amazing. The next day we did the back streets of Cairo tour and then started the Egypt Unplugged tour the following day. Medo taught us so much about Egypt’s ancient and modern history, more than I could have learnt in any history class. He took us to the best local restaurants and his recommendations for extra activities such as the snorkelling were always spot on. When the Hilton in Hurghada couldn’t figure out our bookings, Medo stood at the reception desk for 10 hours to make sure our group was taken care of. I can wholeheartedly say that his enthusiasm, work ethic and his love for his country made my trip what it was. I have never felt safer overseas than I did in Egypt. Since returning home I have been telling anyone who will listen that this trip with On The Go is a must. I can’t wait to return and have my fingers crossed that I’m lucky enough to have Medo as my tour guide again next time. Can I give 6 stars?!

We also had the pleasure of Ramadan being our guide while in egypt - he looked after us during the Hurghada section and also the tour of Cairo itself - although he wasnt with us as much as Helal we formed a close bond as he is also a very genuine person who went out of his way to help us. He has great respect for all peoples and gave a great insight to his country and its muslim religion - for that we thank him very much and highly recommend him as a guide and Ambassador for On The Go Tours and his country Egypt.

Our guide Medo was amazing. Very knowledgeable and humorous. Egyptian people love when you are enjoying yourself and having a good time overall. Medo made the trip easy. He had really good points on how we can get the most out of the day trips like waking up a little bit earlier to catch the temples before the sites became too busy. We always had a choice of where we wanted to eat or what activities we all would like to do as a group. I can’t say enough good things about Medo and this tour.

In all my travels over the 30 years in the travel business my experience was absolutely amazing , and have never felt this way about a destination but truly want to go back to Egypt to explore more , We were made to feel so safe and fun at the same time was our guide Medo. His wealth of knowledge was amazing and kept us fascinated to here all the history and a true storey teller that kept us hanging onto his words. I will sell On the go tours with confidence knowing that ther is such amazing people like Medo to look after our mutual clientele . Again, I cannot state that I have traveled to many places around the world and this was the highlight of my career. I will be counting my days to return to Egypt . From seeing the Pyramids to The Valley of the kings and ending by relaxing on the beaches of the Red Sea . Thank you to Medo for caring for us and making this a trip we will net forget .

Go Go Go Amazing - Go Go Go is the Mantra! Medo is an excellent tour guide and really went above and beyond for our group! Top notch guy and so passionate about his country and the history of Egypt. This tour could easily be a university class in Ancient Egyptian History. Loved our group and it was a fabulous tour! Arrival/Departure in Cairo - Outstanding service upon arrival at Cairo Airport. We were ushered through customs/immigration at a very quick pace and had a private driver take us to the Holiday Inn. Most thankful for this service as we had culture shock upon landing. Also our departure shuttle and assistance at the airport was also very helpful Drivers: Super grateful to have special drivers throughout the trip in the chaotic traffic chaos especially in Cairo! We had a fabulous trip! Thanks so much Medo!

Medo was the most passionate guide I have ever had. He was patient and accommodating-funny and very engaging. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about Egypt and how he rattled off facts-figures-dates is beyond me. He was the best and he made the trip for me! My only complaint was the overnight train from Cairo to Luxor.

The whole tour was not only adventuresome but also well catered, well organised and done in comfort. Our guide Helal couldn't have been more helpful or polite. His knowledge on egyptology was fantastic. He went out of his way to make us and particularly the children feel at ease and special. He is truly a kind and respectful man and a great ambassador for both On The Go Tours and for his country of Egypt. Thanks very much Helal

The guide, Amir, was excellent. His knowledge was great, he was friendly and tidy in his presentation. He kept to the schedule that he had outlined at the beginning of each day. The transport was all in excellent condition, great driving considering the hilarious driving style in Egypt. The hotels were all excellent, except for the last night spent back up at Cairo after the time at the Red Sea. The last hotel for the single night was spent in a room that was heavily and uncomfortably smelly with tobacco. Other than that we were extremely happy with everything. I would like to go to Egypt again in the future, I felt safe, I enjoyed the people and the food. Thank you so much for a well organised tour that went to so many places that I didn't even realise existed. I am so glad that I booked and went. It is going to stay in my memory, the time spent with my 18 year old son before he goes off in to the world. Time I can never get again, so I feel blessed to have had this time on such a successful tour of Egypt. Many thanks to all of you at On the go tours.

We had a fabulous time on our tour to Egypt last month. We were unsure on what to expect and were excited because Egypt is once again becoming a destination which is seeing an influx of travellers. The tour was excellent and have to mention our guide Medo. I'm sure everyone on our tour will agree his passion and knowledge really made the tour. He always made sure we were well looked after. After this trip I will definitely recommend On The Go Tours.
