Nice tour, Ali showed us Cairo at sunset, was very friendly, was at all times with us, I recommend it. He helped us with the photographs at the points of interest.
An amazing experience, very professional, attentive and friendly. Highly recommended when looking for gifts for souvenir.
Ali did it again! My husband and I were extremely happy with our tour of Coptic Cairo. He was full of so much knowledge of the Christian part of Cairo. Before we returned to our hotel we stopped to a wonderful local coffee house. It was great to be immersed in the local culture. We highly recommend Ali and will be returning to do more tour with him.
