Walid was the best tour guide! It was like a professor teaching us very important details and answering all of our questions. He made learning fun ... And with humor. This was a very comprehensive view and a fairly long day.... Which is what we wanted. We even asked for a slight itinerary change and he accomodated. It was a good balance to Giza-focused tour, covering the history and religions in Cairo. We wanted to end in Khan el-Khalili and Walid and driver accomodated that. We were not forced (we were offered and accepted) to stop at a papyrus or perfume store but these were definitely "tour only" locations ....not in a common market. The quality was excellent but the costs higher then elsewhere in Cairo. We saw buses stop at other (similar) shops on the same block but otherwise not in a pedestrian area. The only thing that could have been better was the lunch. The food was good but I would have preferred a well-known local restaurant with options to choose off a menu (I wanted famous koushari). We were not able to pick items that we may have preferred. Honestly, I don't like buffets and I also would have liked to control what my family ordered, how much we were charged and to pay with a credit card. Paying for the meal, instead became a foreign currency transaction to the guide. I think this too is a common tour practice and not under control of our guide. There are many quick tours available for a few of the locations we saw but this allowed a much more detailed view and we appreciated the quality of Walid's knowledge. Ask for Walid by name!
Please stay away from this tour operator. What a garbage tour guide his name is Mahmoud Elsayed. If you prepaid for the entrance tickets he wants to force you to give him the money. He will be rushing you the whole day to make your tour as short as possible. Then he took me to the lunch buffet $100 for 2 people Then he said he paid, but the restaurant won't take a credit card I checked and other people paid by credit card. he wants $100 cash back. We went to a different restaurants in Cairo and never came even close to paying $100 for 2 people meal This guy just wants to rip you off the whole day. I know this is what we should expect as tourist but not at this level. My wife felt super uncomfortable from the first moment. He will ignore the females 99% of the time. Stay away from this provider and this guide. There is no reason you can't make this tour with out a guide.
THIS TOUR IS A SCAM! Out of the dozens of tours we’ve done with Viator, this was by far the worst experience. Do not book anything via this company!! They will not respond to you or refund you your money!! Our guide Mahmoud was very unprofessional and at times made us feel unsafe. He did not take us to places on the advertised itinerary, such as the Ben Ezra Synagogue and Church of Abu Sarga. In fact, he didn’t even know they existed and claimed they were closed. When we insisted on going, he waved us off, told us to hurry, and proceeded to talk to someone on his phone. He provided no explanations of the places we visited. When we complained to him, he was very aggressive and said he would not continue the tour. Then he drove off less than 2 hours into the tour at 10am this morning. This is after arriving late to the tour, such that we started at 8:20am instead of 8am. Please do not take this tour!! Viator should investigate this travel agency and guide.
Khaled is an exceptionally professional and knowledgeable tour guide. His deep understanding of Egyptian history made the experience both educational and enjoyable. I truly appreciated how he explained historical details in a way that helped me learn and appreciate the culture even more. On top of that, Khaled was very kind and attentive throughout the tour, making the entire journey comfortable and memorable. Highly recommended!
He teaches you all Cairo in a private way and the guide is super nice and nice (no intention of tricking you into taking money) the truth that this guy deserves 10 stars but there is no lol
Excellent driver who drives carefully, kind and helpful with an on-time pickup. I recommend without hesitation.
I had an amazing experience on this tour! The tour was wonderful from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture, and answered every question and curiosity with great detail. I would 100% recommend and would love to repeat in the future!

Cairo is one of the largest Cities in the world. this trip enhanced our knowledge of how cairo is and specially we were able to see musuems and other places which is of course wonderful experience, the Downtown is crowded and not clean, uptown is better and new city is lovely. the tour people helped us in so many ways , thank you very much for the nice experience
We had an amazing experience with our Tour guide Dina. Who explained everything to us and always gave us enough time to walk around and take pictures at every stop.
