Great experience! Tour guide was very knowledgeable!
A wonderful guide who added a personal touch to the tour. In almost 5 hours, you enjoy different perspectives of Cairo! Highly recommended!
Excellent trip. Really lovely restaurant that we wouldn’t have gone never have found. The boat is not a Felucca when we went but it was still enjoyable. Great tour of the market.
We had an excellent time during this visit. The guide was very friendly, professional, and passionate. His explanations were clear, interesting, and suitable for all participants. We learned a lot while having a pleasant time. I highly recommend this visit to anyone who wishes to discover the region from an enriching and friendly perspective. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
Wonderfull experience. Amir is a great guide
Amr was very nice and really tried, although the other people we were with weren't very friendly. We did alot for the amount of money we paid.
Fantastic tour, Amr made our last night in Cairo special. Highly recommended, thank you.
This 4 hour tour was a great experience and best for people who want an introduction to the city for a great price. Amr really knew what he explaining while navigating the bazaar crowd and created an atmosphere where we can ask questions. He even looked at our itinerary and helped us organize our trips and even gave some suggestions on things to do based on what we were interested in. Overall great experience!!
