Fabulous first day tour when in Cairo!

Our guide was knowledgeable and generous with his time. We were well taken care of! Some interesting shopping that we hadn’t counted on. Lunch was eaten in the car which was as abit of a disappointment but given the state of traffic in Cairo I certainly understand. I would definitely recommend this tour. We went on a Friday which is a religious day so the tour spots tend to be crowded. Great communication with friends he booking agent - they sent lots a of texts to keep us in the loop!

Expert tour guide with knowledge and charm. visiting Cairo museum and Bazaar

Visiting Cairo Museum and Bazaar, we were picked up punctually from our hotel. Driver and car were excellent. We were shown what we wanted by a highly knowledgeable guide and not pushed to shop for anything we were not interested in.

Excellent Islamic and Coptic Cairo tour with Khan El-Khalili Bazaar

Great tour with excellent guide Ehab. Very knowledgeable and absolutely knew everyone everywhere we went. Always gave us plenty of time to explore and linger if we wanted to, and was super flexible. Arrived at our hotel on time and communicated well via WhatsApp. Great tour and cannot say enough about Ehab. Highly recommend.

Fantastic, but minus 1 due to……

My guide Demiana and the driver Moaz were fantastic! They are both very professional. Demiana was very enthusiastic showing me around and always asked my needs. But I felt the operator was not so sincere. He called me just one day before my tour starts when I cannot get the free cancellation anymore, telling me that my hotel is out of pick area so I have to pay 100 extra US dollars, which I negotiated down to 2000 pounds. Even though I wrote down the name of the hotel when I booked the tour. Without this trouble, I have surely given 5 points!
