Expert tour guide with knowledge and charm. visiting Cairo museum and Bazaar - Visiting Cairo Museum and Bazaar, we were picked up punctually from our hotel. Driver and car were excellent. We were shown what we wanted by a highly knowledgeable guide and not pushed to shop for anything we were not interested in.

Excellent Islamic and Coptic Cairo tour with Khan El-Khalili Bazaar - Great tour with excellent guide Ehab. Very knowledgeable and absolutely knew everyone everywhere we went. Always gave us plenty of time to explore and linger if we wanted to, and was super flexible. Arrived at our hotel on time and communicated well via WhatsApp. Great tour and cannot say enough about Ehab. Highly recommend.

10/10 recommend half day tour - I had a very last minute schedule change and Michael was able to help accommodate immediately. At 7 AM I reached out needing to switch my tour to be that day and he rescheduled me for 9 AM which was so helpful. My tour guide was Marsil. I was the only one on the tour and she made me feel comfortable from the start. She was extremely friendly and informative and would answer any questions. I learned a lot of information that I definitely would not have known if I visited all of the places myself. The driver’s name was Mr. Mohammed and he was also great! He was always waiting outside when we were done with wherever we were visiting and was always driving safely. I would definitely recommend taking this tour!

A very interesting tour with a knowledgeable and friendly guide - Bishoo took us on a very interesting tour of Coptic Cairo, the Citadel and mosque. We learned a lot about the history of old Cairo and the Cavern Church where the holy family stayed was a very amazing experience for the those interested in history or the Christian faith.

Fabulous first day tour when in Cairo! - Our guide was knowledgeable and generous with his time. We were well taken care of! Some interesting shopping that we hadn’t counted on. Lunch was eaten in the car which was as abit of a disappointment but given the state of traffic in Cairo I certainly understand. I would definitely recommend this tour. We went on a Friday which is a religious day so the tour spots tend to be crowded. Great communication with friends he booking agent - they sent lots a of texts to keep us in the loop!

Fantastic, but minus 1 due to…… - My guide Demiana and the driver Moaz were fantastic! They are both very professional. Demiana was very enthusiastic showing me around and always asked my needs. But I felt the operator was not so sincere. He called me just one day before my tour starts when I cannot get the free cancellation anymore, telling me that my hotel is out of pick area so I have to pay 100 extra US dollars, which I negotiated down to 2000 pounds. Even though I wrote down the name of the hotel when I booked the tour. Without this trouble, I have surely given 5 points!
