Great and safe trip to old Cairo (woman solo) - Very nice tour with guide Ezzat and driver Sharif. Going solo as a woman, felt really safe with them. Ezzat gave a lot of nice information about all we have seen.

Excellent first impression of Cairo - Hesham was an amazing tour guide. Was patient and accomplished all our requests. We booked at a the last minute and was happy we did. We seen more in the four hours with Hesham than we would have seen in a week. Recommend highly!

Best guide in our trip! - We had a great half day tour of Islamic Cairo, Coptic Cairo and Khan El Khalili on July 6. We were a couple with an infant and our guide Kamal and driver Gamal were great. Kamal was by far the best guide we had in our 1 week trip to Egypt. He was very knowledgeable and provided great insights into the architecture and history of Cairo. I would 100% recommend him. He listened to our requests and adjusted the tour according to what we wanted and skipped the various side tours (papyrus, perfume, cotton etc). He also took us to the shops that we wanted and helped us with buying items as well as took photos of us which many guides dont do. The Manager Hashem also called in to welcome us as soon as the tour started. Overall 10/10. I would choose these guys without thinking next time. Thank you!

Hesham was the best tour guide of Cairo! - Hesham provided me with an unbelievable touring experience of the museum and the Old City. His knowledge is unparalleled and he truly made the sites come alive with his in-depth knowledge. Additionally, he and his driver made a formidable team in getting me safely and on time to all the promised sites. Last, he is a super friendly person and throughly enjoyed my Cairo city experience.

Great Guide. Buyer Beware for any shops he recommends. - I am rewriting my review. Hesham was a great guide and was extremely knowledgeable. For the guided portion of the tour I very much recommend him. That being said, he took me to a jewelry shop where he assured me the prices for the jewelry was good. Needless to say they were not. I’ve since learned the ring I purchased was worth a fraction of what I paid. Certainly, I’ve traveled enough that I should have expected this. My failure was transferring the expertise he clearly showed in guiding to trusting him that the shop was good and the prices were good. My fault for trusting. In summary, amazing as a guide, but do not assume he is looking out for you on any purchases.
