Our guide, Hereda, was extraordinary. A very knowledgeable and very friendly person. Highly recommended.
It was very nice. Our guide was great, he help us a lot. Thank you very much for this unique experience!
Good tour to see the main sights of the old city. Unfortunately we did not get to see Khan al Khalili but everything else was accommodated with information provided. Mirna was very helpful as one of our group who needed more time walking and resting, identifying places for them to rest and was very supportive.
Our guide Gab very prepared and empathetic, ready to meet the requests, spoke good Italian. The tour allowed us to see a lot in a short time. Great value for money. Medium and excellent driver. Council
Good day out with Sayed Mahmoud (guide) and driver Ahmhed visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo. They were happy to change the programme to suit my taste. I liked going to the mosque, it was more interesting. I got a blessing from thr Iman for my birthday.
This tour has some pluses and minuses: Pluses: The guide, Zeinab, contacted us a day earlier to make sure we had her contact information. She was also accommodating and provided us with a summary of how the day would go. She also took pictures of us. Minuses: The guide provided some historical information at the beginning of each point. This information was basic, not to the level of a certified tourist guide. Asking her questions did not feel comfortable. She didn't seem very open to conversation or to being asked about the historical sites we were visiting. It felt rushed, and she would let us wander, and she would sit on a corner waiting for us. She did not share lunch with us either. We had to figure out what we were eating. It was like having a planner more than a guide. I am glad we read books before coming to Egypt because the guide we had did not make the visit rich in historical knowledge.
This was a great tour. The tour guide is very friendly and considerate. The explanation from the tour is clear and concise, The whole journey went smoothly as planned due to good coordination between the tour guide and the driver who always arrived promptly as arranged.
Great, the driver takes you to the most important places and even where you want. Time the passenger marks Great and recommended
Mustafa, our guide, was very attentive and professional throughout the experience. We visited the Egyptian Museum, the Citadel and the Coptic quarter. The tour was very well organized and excellent value for money. Highly recommended!
Achieved my bucket list of visiting Eygpt but doubly grateful for being about to visit the Great Museum and see the Tutankhamen exhibition. Robert was fantastic with his knowledge of the exhibits in the museum, and the religious sites visited. Would recommend paying the extra and having a guide. Learnt so much today
