"My tour of Cairo with Mohammed was the highlight of the trip. Mohammed didn’t just recite dates; he brought the history to life with incredible storytelling and deep local insight. I learned so much more than I would had on my own. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a deep dive into the culture!"
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.
We had heard of Muhammed from the multiple testimonials on the Vikings Facebook page and we were fortunate enough to have him guide us through Cairo yesterday. He is a historian and wealth of information. He is also kind and very professional. We had one tour that was canceled with him due to the international situation and he refunded us $500 without a question. He’s very honest and I highly recommend him.
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.
We had the chance to visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and Old Cairo with the guide Nasser, who worked with Jean-Philippe Lauer in Saqqara. A real well of science, enthusiastic and very considerate. Beautiful visit.
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire et nous espérons vous revoir bientôt.
Great experience , tour guide very knowledgeable and helpful
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.
Our tour guide, Hanan, explained the background of Egyptian history in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in organised way. The tour guide and driver also tried to accommodate our special request although it was out of the itinerary. However, the tour guide tried to rush the schedule, so we decided to give a 4-star review.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify a few points regarding your tour. The tour guide, Hanan, spent a full 7 hours with you and only left you at 4:00 PM in Khan El Khalili, without any rushing at all. When you requested to visit places that were not included in your original itinerary, she fully assisted you and even accompanied you to the post office to purchase stamps upon your request, which took around 30 minutes. She did her best to accommodate all of your requests. You were able to visit the entire planned itinerary and had sufficient time at each site. The reason the tour ended at 4:00 PM was because you had a flight scheduled to depart at 7:00 PM. Ending the tour at that time was appropriate to ensure you could travel from Khan El Khalili to the airport comfortably and on time. In such circumstances, it is natural for the schedule to be mindful of flight timing. Additionally, during the drive to the airport, you asked the driver to stop three times to purchase a specific type of tea, and this was also accommodated. From our point of view, the tour guide did not fall short in any way and made every effort to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Thank you again for your time and feedback.
Today I went on a private tour of the Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo (including the Hanging Church and the Cave Church), and Al-Khalili Market, and it was absolutely fantastic. The museum artifacts were breathtaking – each piece seemed to whisper stories from ancient times. The orthodox churches were stunning, filled with sacred beauty and a deep sense of peace. Al-Khalili Market wasn’t entirely what I expected, yet it was vibrant and full of life, truly a must-see for anyone visiting Cairo. My guide, Mo, was wonderful – polite, professional, and very kind, sharing his knowledge with warmth and patience. Our driver, Muhammad, was also excellent – friendly, courteous, and made the journey so comfortable. Altogether, this tour offered a perfect blend of history, culture, and soul. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the many layers of Cairo’s spirit.
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.
Had an amazing day at the NCEM where I saw the mummies of ancient Egypt and the history of the region. Then had a fantastic guided tour of Old cairo, a highlight was seeing the cavern church where the holy family stayed during their time in Egypt.
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.
The visits we liked very much, our guide Saddam explained all the things very well and was very attentive. Cairo is worth living up close.
Muchas gracias por tu reseña y esperamos verte nuevamente.
Old building not well taken care of. Dirty, nasty bathroom. Some disolays hard to see due to poor lighting. I would akip this one and go to the new museum instead. Tour guide was fine, rhough all tour guides kept pushing us to visit local shops
You are complaining about things that have nothing to do with our company. They are all matters related to the museum management, especially since our guide and services have satisfied you, and this is the most important thing to us.
We were picked up at the hotel on time and then we started with Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo, Old Town. Lunch was also very delicious. The tour was great👍
