Very accommodating and...

Very accommodating and friendly… Driver was great and so was the guide. Only wanted to note for future…. The guide spent a lot of time on her phone. Perhaps there was family issues or other life things. I booked in the final hour of the morning

I had an amazing time. The tour, the car/driver, and the guide. The tour was very informative and the tour guide even recommended places to eat after we finished the tour. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt.

Islamic Cairo with knowledgeable local

My friend and I did a tour through Islamic Cairo with Bishoo. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about life in Egypt. He provided great commentary throughout the tour and was very patient as we wandered through the bazaar. We had a slight miscommunication during the booking process, but the tour operator was helpful in working with us to resolve the issue the same day.
