Wonderful 4 hour tour - Had a wonderful tour with Ehab and our driver Ahmed. He was able to tailor the tour to our preferences - highlighting the major sights in Coptic Cairo, Citadel, and mosques. We also stopped to purchase papyrus and spices - but were able to skip some of the other shopping to have more time for architectural touring.

Experience is worth it at all - Fady made the day a full experience and we would not have made it without our driver. I recommend the tour because as a first time visitor you cannot do it on your own. Super service, everything worked out great. Personally we do not like the shopping in between but the market was great and we added a traditional short dinner at the endof our tour for little extra money

Experience was great - Fady made our day comfortable and we got to know much about the culture and life in Cairo. He was great. The sightseeing tour was an experience we’ve not had in a long time. It was great overall. Not to forget our driver George too. Thanks for the day we ended with a short but traditional dinner which we added on the go.

Bisho an excellent tour guide - Our tour guide was Bisho, and we could not have been more happy. He was willing to be flexible about the exact sites that we would visit, open to what we wanted. At each site, Bisho demonstrated his deep understanding of the significance and background to what we were looking at, and of huge benefit was able to convey his great knowledge in a clear, easily understandable way. Bisho is an egyptologist, but by no means was his manner academic - it was friendly, light hearted, also direct and honest. It was wonderful that apart from the subjects in the tour itself, we could ask all of our questions about Egyptian life and culture and Bisho was happy to provide thoughtful and, again, very knowledgable informative responses. He was a real pleasure to spend time with. We have already recommended him to a friend of ours coming soon to Cairo, and would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone.
