Seamless air conditioned and well organised transport. Ahmed, our tour guide, was friendly and helpful, and flexible when catering for our requests (especially when we had a baby in tow!). We felt we were in good hands for the entire tour. Thank you.
We had a wonderful stopover tour to the pryramids, Citadel and Old Coptic Cairo. Although the airport is not a normal pick-up and drop-off point, they organised it for USD 25 in total. What a pleasure! Ana, our guide, met us just outside the terminal building. We were unable to get WiFi to contact her, but she went the extra mile when she couldn't find us, and phoned us. From there, we drove through peak hour traffic. The driver (can't remember his name) was so calm and drove us confidently through all the 'bedlam'. He dropped us off at each stop, and then appeared again to pick us up in a flash - real VIP treatment. Ana was a great guide. She spent time explaining the history to us at each stop. She also gave us space to look around at our own pace, but was never far away to continue again when we were ready. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody.
The tour was really good. The guide Amro was super friendly and helpful, taking us to the best places, showing to be a great connoisseur of Egyptian history. Driver also super responsible and friendly. I totally recommend!
We had an amazing time exploring Cairo with an outstanding tour guide, Hadeer and our driver for the day, Mustafa. Highlights of the tour were the mosque, papyrus store and Kartoush engraving stores. Our guide also kept the many vendors at bay, giving us handy tips on how to maneuver tricky situations. Our guide’s deep knowledge, passion, and friendly nature made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommended!
