What Travelers Say About Us
Ibrahim was a fantastic guide—friendly and full of knowledge. We explored vibrant markets, tasted delicious falafel and kunafa, and learned about local customs. Ending at the Roman Amphitheater was a perfect finish. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Amman! Thanks, Ibrahim, for a memorable experience!

My sister and I decided to go with Simsem for our visit to Giza in Egypt. We were paired up with the incredible Nada, who was so passionate and so knowledgeable. We were picked up and dropped off and were able to enjoy and learn about the incredible sites and this ancient history - that left us mesmerised. In addition, we follow veggie and vegan diets and were perfectly catered for. I would jump on the opportunity to explore with Simsem and Nada again. Thank you!
