Best Tour of Islamic Cairo. - Mohamed was an exceptional guide in Egypt. His deep knowledge of Egyptian islamic history and culture enriched our experience at every site we visited. He was courteous, professional, and went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable trip. Mohamed's passion for sharing the wonders of his country and religion made our journey truly unforgettable.

Tour with Muhammad - Muhammad Swefy was a pleasure to tour with. Had such a deep, deep knowledge of the town and it's history that he really brought the ancient buildings, sights and smells to life! Great guy, great English (fwiw),and a super knowledgeable, friendly, not-shady dude!!

Islamic Cairo Tour was a bust! :( - Our tour guide Iman was terrible. Her English was very limited and we could barely understand her. She also didn't seem to know much about the history of the most important mosques in Cairo. She even had the nerve to ask for MORE tip even though I gave her $100 EGP. Would definitely not recommend unless you have a different tour guide. We were very disappointed.
