A stranger’s first day in Cairo with the best ambassador of its rich tourism - This was my first day of tour with Narmer Tours & Mohamed Ahmed Elfar, CEO of the tour company itself was my guide for the day right after I landed in the Cairo airport. We explored the Islamic Cairo on foot & he spoke good English and explained each part of the town, the monuments & the historical significance of them well. I would not have explored some of the darkest alleys of this part of the town had it not been for him. Despite landing after having spent 17 hours on flight, I still enjoyed my tour with him while grabbing a meal & a delicious Egyptian mint tea along the way. I was given a very scathing view of Cairo but I never once felt unsafe in the company of my guide or the driver assigned to me. I met Mohamed as a stranger in the airport & at the end of my solo trip to Egypt, I bid him farewell as a friend. I am glad that I engaged his services for 5 days in succession to cover the most part of my tour not just in Cairo but also Luxor & Alexandria.

Half Day tour of Cairo - I really enjoyed my tour with Muhamed. This being my first time in Egypt, he really made a great first impression of the city by showing me lesser known spots along with tourist attractions. I learned a lot from the tour info itself and very helpful advice about traveling Egypt in general. Spending my first day with Muhamed was time well spent!

Amazing tour - The best tour of Cairo!!! We did the Old Cairo tour with Mohammed and we loved it, it shows that he knows a lot about the history of the city and makes the visit very enjoyable. Moreover, he advises us on many places to eat typical and very cheap Egyptian food. He is a very nice guy, always with a smile!! Do not hesitate to go with him, his tour will probably be the best of the trip!

Very knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide! - Me and my daughter took the tour with Ahmed. He is a great guide who’s very knowledgeable and answers all the questions you might have. He adapts the tour according to your preferences and interests for supplemental payment. We added the coptic area e.g., which was very interesting. Thanks for taking the tour with us on your day off and for the goodbye gift! 😊

Fantastic tour of Old Cairo - I can't recommend this tour highly enough, and echo the other reviews. Even for a seasoned traveller, Cairo is so big and busy that it would be difficult to self organise and see all the top sights independently. Ahmed was somehow able to show us the best of Old Cairo in the span of a single afternoon while navigating incredibly busy roads and pedestrian walkways while imparting his specialist knowledge. Overall extremely high value for money spent and a memorable day
