Brilliant - We went to the Cairo Museum with Ahmed, which was brilliant. He was very knowledgable, friendly and good company. We then booked a further tour with him, to go to the Citadel, Old Cairo and the Bazaar. Another excellent day. He took us to Soirée for lunch, a great restaurant as well.
Would thoroughly recommend Ahmed and Egypt Tours Experience
