Great way to see parts of Cairo

Overall, we really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide, Salem, and our driver were great. Salem is very knowledgeable and had great insight to share. Only thing we didn’t just love about this tour was the Citadel. While we were really excited about the visit, so much of the Citadel was closed for construction. Only the two Mosque were open and available to visit. While the Mosque were incredibly, we wished we could have seen the many other areas of the fortress.

A very enjoyable day and caring guide and driver took good care of me. As a solo traveler I felt safe.

Cairo has layers upon layers of history, and this tour gave me the chance to learn about them. The private tour was very flexible with the schedule, and I am grateful to have had such an excellent guide. Relaxing comfortable air-conditioned transfers.

Value for money day tour without guide

Abdul was a great driver and accomodating to our needs throughout the day. He speaks fluent English. Highly recommend him.

Museum maintenance disaster

It is a shame how the current museum is in maintenance, even though they are in the process of change, pieces packed in the middle, dust in the display cases, the floor broken, dirty and deteriorated. A Museum that houses pieces of this category cannot give that image, although I reiterate, it is in a process of change.

Best Egyptian Museum Tour

Luckily we found a tour guide who can speak our mother language (Japanese), Honey ( could be wrong spelling). He has a deep knowledge of the history of Egypt and showed us the most important place at the museum. Normally I don’t like to spend too much time in museum but this time I had a great time because of him. He is very kind and patient as well. I strongly recommend to find a nice guide. I am sure you can find one from this company. Also a driver is very important in Cairo. The driver was one of the best!!

Get the big idea about the history with tour guide.

Our day with Mr.Ali Nagoya was perfectly fine. He is knowledgeable person about the history. We just so sad that we don't have enough time with him for him to explain a lot of thing.
