Abdallah was an amazing guide. You can tell he really knows the history, and the way he tells the stories makes every stop so much more interesting. He was always helpful, full of energy, and as a bonus, he’s an incredibly talented photographer. I came home with so many beautiful photos from Khan El Khalili and Old Cairo that I would never have captured on my own. A big shoutout to Amar as well. He was a fantastic driver, and I felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole trip. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, don’t hesitate. Just make sure you get the perfect combo: Abdallah as your guide and Amar as your driver.
Excellent service received. Great trip, good driver.
We had a great half day with Menna, our guide, who took us around the old Coptic Christian churches and Synagogue in Cairo, showing us where Joseph and Mary are said to have brought the Baby Jesus when fleeing from King Herod. We also saw the markets and sailed on the Nile in a Felucca which was a unique experience. Menna was great with the kids and brought the experience to life for us all.
We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Yemani. His driver and he picked us up on time at the hotel, already on the way he told us a lot about life in Egypt, the culture, buildings,... It was incredibly interesting. Together we visited two mosques, a great coffee house, the bazaar and Al Muizz Street, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Yemani gave us top information everywhere. He was also a great shopping companion at the bazaar and took a lot of time for all our questions and wishes throughout the tour. Great tour!!
We booked the Tour and had a really great day with our Tourguide Yemani. He showed us very beautyful places and told us a lot about life in Egypt, the culture and the buildings. Yemani was a great shopping-companion as well and went to a really nice local coffeehouse with us. He is a very good photographer too, so you will get the best holiday- pictures. Don't miss this tour!!
The driver Aslem was very friendly. He dropped us off at the beginning of the market afterwards he picked us up at the agreed point. It doesn't matter how long we walked around the market. We have not called on a guide.
We really had a great tour with Roaa! She was amazing with the kids and explained everything to us really nicely. When we wanted to look around in the markets she would let us stop and mooch. We all really enjoyed the boat ride across the Nile, we had a fun time doing the Macarena with her. Really recommend to families who are looking for a fun tour guide!
Did this tour our last day in Cairo of a 10-day trip to Egypt with my husband and it was perfect! Our guide, Yemani, was kind, informative, and well-resourced while being flexible and accommodating throughout. We enjoyed listening to him share brief snippets of detailed history during our 3-hour tour of this beautiful place that was peppered with humor and questions designed to tailor the tour to our experience. Yemani effectively managed logistical details to help us see all the things we wanted to and maximize our enjoyment and learning. Highly recommend touring with Yemani, and dive in to something spontaneous while you're out here! He has great recommendations!
While the mosque and bazaar were a unique experience, it would have been much better if we had been given more information about what we were seeing. It was disappointing that the second mosque was closed and no alternative was suggested and we were not taken for mint tea as per the itinerary. The guide mainly chatted with the driver on the journey to and from our hotel instead of sharing her knowledge about what we were seeing.It was an enjoyable trip but could have been so much better.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the overall experience and found the visit to the mosque and bazaar unique. We’d like to mention that guiding styles can vary, as every guide and every guest is different. Some guests prefer to ask about specific landmarks they see along the way, while most of the detailed explanations are shared at each site to keep the experience more focused and enjoyable. Regarding the second mosque being closed, this was due to the late timing of the visit and is unfortunately beyond our control. As mentioned in the tour details, visiting both mosques from the inside requires an earlier start. As for the mint tea, the guide did offer a stop at a local café, and as stated in the itinerary, drinks are optional and not included in the tour price. We always strive to provide a well-organized and enjoyable experience, and we continuously work on improving every detail of our tours. We’d be happy to welcome you again, and we invite future guests to join us for an authentic and memorable experience. Thank you again for your comments we truly appreciate your feedback.
The old Cairo tour was amazing and beautiful. With beautiful views and people.
