Amazing Time - Isaac and our driver was amazing. Isaac explained everything thoroughly at each site and always had time for our questions. His knowledge of the city was beyond our expectations. He also gave us tips on how to navigate the city on our own. Would highly recommend him!

Day tour - Cairo is an incredible city that beautifully showcases Islamic and Coptic heritage. The mosques, especially the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, are breathtaking with their stunning architecture and peaceful ambiance. On the other hand, the Coptic sites like the Hanging Church offer a rich historical perspective and unique designs that are truly fascinating. I had a fantastic experience with the guide Hazem. He was knowledgeable and provided great insights into the history and significance of each site, making the exploration even more enriching. Hazem also took us to a restaurant for lunch to experience local 'soal food' which was a lovely addition. Overall, visiting both the mosques and Coptic sites in Cairo is a must for anyone wanting to appreciate the city's diverse culture and religious harmony.

Nice experience in Cairo - Khalaf was a great guide. He showed us around the most important sites in coptic and islamic Cairo, explaining everything and answering all the questions we had. He was very accommodating in Khan al Kalili when we were wanting to shop for a few souvenirs. Additionally, he gave great typical restaurant recommendations!

Interesting visit - The visit was interesting, I really appreciated the guide Mohammed who spoke excellent Italian. I asked to add the Mammeluk cemetery (I paid extra 15 euros) which I highly recommend.

A driver was late and... - A driver was late and explanation was contradictory and rather false. I asked extra for a guide and they were confusing about the price and tricked me to include tickets in this. Shady practice. I would recommended sticking to a driver service only as you can easily purchase tickets (EGP770 per adult) and guide’s information was rather limited and not entertaining. A car was in a good condition.

Enjoyable - This was the most enjoyable tour we had in Cairo as we informed our guide immediately that we wanted to stick to the itinerary and not be taken to any shops. She thankfully stuck to her word and we had a really interesting morning finding out about both Islamic and Coptic Cairo.

Basically a scam! Avoid this company - This tour company is terrible! Practically a scam. 12 hrs before the tour they said they had no record of our booking (despite several emails). Viator customer care and tour company kept blaming each other and didn’t want to do anything. Definitely the last time I’ll ever book anything with Viator or Emo tours. In the end they sent us a guide who was ok and a car that was basically falling apart. Worst ever.
