Mostafa was terrific. Toured the western civilization museum and two famous mosques. Such great history. It was clear Mostafa is committed to his country and his religion. His driver was greatband always readily available for all pick ups. Great experience. I went solo and always felt safe.
Well organized tour, had a good experience and would recommend this company. The whole tour went according to plan. Marwa was my guide, and she was knowledgeable and pleasant to spend the day with. Also, I had a bonus visit to learn how papyrus is made.

Thanks dear
We went to the Cairo Museum with Ahmed, which was brilliant. He was very knowledgable, friendly and good company. We then booked a further tour with him, to go to the Citadel, Old Cairo and the Bazaar. Another excellent day. He took us to Soirée for lunch, a great restaurant as well. Would thoroughly recommend Ahmed and Egypt Tours Experience
