Very good guide, mr. Akram. He gave us much information about the sites we visited. His level of English was high. He was able to anwser a lot of questions about ancient Egypt as well as the modern islamic period. We lunched with him and he is good company. Also, our driver mr. Yusuf, king of roads of Cairo, lived up to his name. He is a skilled driver and brought us everywhere fast and safe. Thank you for the amazing experience!
Very good experience with our guide Akram and driver Ashour. Very knowledgable and friendly atmosfere. Answered all of our questions. Arranged for us some lunch or to go to the bathroom during the day. Had a very good and safe day!
The experience was really beautiful! Mohamed Ashour was really helpful and kind, a perfect guide! We booked a private tour and had a really good time, Ashour started explaining the history of Egypt and Cairo already in the car when he picked us up from the hotel, after which he took us around the city, showing us the most iconic places and telling us the story of each monument. He also recommended the best places to buy affordable souvenirs (not touristy) and took us to eat in the best Koshari restaurant in Cairo, really a very good dish. Fully satisfied, excellent value for money I would say.
