Great Experience

Ehab was our tour guide and Shady was the driver. Ehab was very friendly and knowledgeable about the different religious sites including Muhammad Ali. He cared about our safety. While driving he was explaining to us the different monuments and sites around the road.

Amazing tour! Book with Bisho!

Bisho was an amazing guide! The tour was catered towards my interests and he explained history and art very well. When we were in the market he was a great advocate as well. I would highly recommend Bisho to anyone and hope to come back one day!

Great trip to Old Cairo

We booked very last minute as we were recovering from bugs. Within an hour our guide Marsil arrived at our hotel. She chatted to us, then we headed to Old Cairo. We visited different Coptic Churches, walked the old alleys, and finished up at the impressive Mohammed Ali mosque. A knockout finish. The tour lasted about 4 hours and was well paced. Marsil gave enough information, answered questions, and allowed plenty of personal time. Our driver was good. Recommended

Good tour

Khaled was a good guide. It took us to the main historical points of Old Cairo and the mosques. I just want to have more time at Khan El Kalili which is very worthwhile for those who want to buy souvenirs.

gracias por la revisión, ya que reserva el recorrido es de 4 horas y lo tiene como un recorrido de medio día, no quería pagar más para tener un día completo, por lo que el tiempo del recorrido está completo

Amazing Tour, Amazing Guide

Our guide Ehab and driver Ahmed were fantastic during our visit to Coptic and Islamic Cairo. Ehab was very knowledgeable and encouraged us to ask lots of questions. They were very flexible which meant we could do the tour at our own pace! We never felt rushed and had a fabulous day. It was lovely to hear the history behind each place. Ehab was very hospitable during the whole day, nothing was too much for him. Lunch at Said Hanafey was amazing, the Koshery by far the best we have had and the rice pudding spectacular. We really enjoy that in the Bazar the vendors were not pushy, which led to a very pleasant experience. On the way back from the tour, we asked to be dropped at a different location and this was no problem for them at all. This has been the best tour we have had in Cairo so far. I would highly recommend doing this tour with Ehab and Ahmed!
