Amr is an outstanding tour guide whose passion for Egypt truly stands out. His deep knowledge and engaging personality make every tour both enjoyable and meaningful. He has a special way of bringing Cairo to life, ensuring each experience is fun, memorable, and full of insight. I highly recommend connecting with Amr if you want to truly experience the city!
What a great experience all around . From the boat ride to the dinner , the bazaar and the Mosque to finish. Our guide Ahmed was perfect , friendly , knowledgeable , helping us with the locals if needed . Felt really safe with him
I booked this trip bona fide, and waited for half an hour at my hotel reception as the agreement had been to be picked up at my hotel. Nobody ever showed up. The tour organizer had my phone number and I was never contacted. I complained via booking.com, where I had booked the trip, and the tour organizer lied and asserted I had not been at the agreed location.
Amr is the best guide and a great person
Amr is a great guide around the city at night. Boat ride on the Nile, tasty local dining experience of Koshary, walk around the city near souk, and mosque visit. Great value for money and Amr made it a great experience.
Amr picked me up in an air conditioned car alongside other amazing tourists (UK and Ukraine). Everyone was really friendly and polite. Amr took the time to answer all our questions and even to take us into a mosque and explain all procedures. The Koshary food was really delicious and the Bazaar lights were mesmerizing at night time. There was a good breeze so our trip wasn’t so hot. The entire trip lasted about 4 hours but with good company it went by very quickly. I highly recommend this tour if you want to meet good people and have a great cultural experience.
Great night tour of Cairo! Would recommend this tour to other travelers in Cairo, great sights to see too!
Great experience with Ahmed exploring the old city and heart and culture of Cairo. They even picked me up from GEM which saved me a lot of time. From the feluca ride at sunset to the shawarma at the end was wonderful. Ahmed was very knowledgeable about his city. Also other members of the group were very nice.
On the day we were due to take this tour we were contacted and asked if we could defer to the following evening because the traffic was so bad because of a state visit. This actually suited us so we agreed. We were picked up as arranged the following evening by our tour guide Amr at our hotel. We then went on to pick up another guest, who truned out to be someone we got on well with. Amr was a great tour guide, fun and informative and suggested changes in the original itinerary to ensure we got the best out of our experience. He delivered our evening in a friendly but professional manner which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this tour and partiuclarly our guide Amr.
Ahmed was an excellent guide! We really liked all the information he provided us. This tour is a must-do. We were several elderly people and we had no problems; Ahmed was very patient with us. We definitely recommend it.
