Very dissatisfied! No one arrived to pick us up. No one answered the contact number and 24 hours later, we still have no replies to the text messages that we sent through that contact system. Our money of course was taken in advance. Something else to sort out when we get home. We did the trip at short notice with another provider and enjoyed it very much.
The cairo is an amazing city, but you have to have an open mind to capture its full meaning. Those old buildings, they transport you back to other times. Nearby is the "city of the dead" something really interesting. But go well early that's a very hot part.
Mostafa Nabil is incredibly knowledgeable and provided an excellent tour of not only the Madrassa of Sultan Hassan but added highlights of the Citadel, Coptic Church, and garbage city. I would highly recommend him as well as the private tour. Mostafa tailors the tour to what you are interested in.
Our guide was Mostafa Nabil. After meeting him at the time appointed we arranged for a good day which included The Citadel and Khan el Khalili. Mostafa's English is excellent with little accent, and he proved an excellent conversationalist. I would definitely hire him again.
Had a wonderful time going to the bazaar and seeing the oldest mosque in Cairo. Ahmed was friendly, informative and made us feel comfortable the whole time.
Tour around old Cairo amazing Did this tour and it was just amazing. My tour was exceptional. I showed around the pyramids, Sphinx, museum and market. It was a great to be shown around these places, be given the history behind them and shown great places to take pictures. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your kind feedback.
<p>The Madrassa of Sultan Hassan was great and the guide did a great job explaining it and the origin of Muslim. </p> <p>The Khan el-khali was mostly closed as we did the tour too early in the morning. This experience was very poor and not what we were hoping for.</p>
<p>The guide was very knowledgeable and the excursions were great!</p>
<p>The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. They promptly pick you up from the hotel and provide safe transport to the key areas. We were able to experience the real Cairo. You will not be disappointed with this tour.</p>
