We booked this tour with a French guide but the agency sent us an English guide. This inconvenience penalized our visit. Just time to take pictures or stop 5min in a shop. I don't recommend it.
Nous avons réservé cette excursion avec un guide français mais l'agence nous a envoyé un guide anglais. Ce désagrément a pénalisé notre visite. Tout juste du temps pour prendre des photos ou s'arrêter 5min dans une boutique. Je déconseille.
My roommate and I had the best time on this tour! Our tour guide was Mr. Ashraf Ibrahim and every where we went we were told we had "the most famous tour guide in Egypt." The tour was stress free and well worth it. We were picked up/dropped off at our hotel. Lunch was provided. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and fun!

<p>We had stayed for several days in Cairo and visited most of the must see sites so we wanted to see something different. We took this tour and were pleasantly surprised to find that our tour was adjusted to fit our specific desires. We got to see the Citadel, mosques and churches in Cairo. We had a nice lunch while touring and everything was done with professionalism and courtesy. Our guide had the caretaker of a mosque open up a restricted area to view the tombs of Kings that had ruled there. We had a great time.</p>
