Our second trip with Egypt Royal Tours (first one was Giza pyramids). Our tour guide was Abdo. We did all we wanted: museum, Coptic Cairo, Citadel, Mosque. Had nice lunch in local cafe. No stress, in our own pace, as we were travelling with a 3 year old. Abdo was very helpful, accommodating to our needs. Nice driver, clean van.
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.

My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic day. First and foremost we felt 100% safe. Secondly, the Egyptian museum was breathtaking. Our guide did a fantastic job explaining to us the history of ancient Egypt. Next up was the Coptic Christian churches. once again our guide, explain to us what we were going to see and then it was brought to life during the tour. truly amazing. We had an exquisite traditional Egypt lunch, and then we went and saw the Muhammad Ali mosque. This was our first time ever visiting a mosque, and again we were both mesmerized. We would highly recommend Egypt Royal Tours, and the Tour Guide who we call Sugar Queen for a true VIP experience. You won’t regret it and you’ll be glad that you did.
