I had a wonderful time on this day trip with Ehud - As a solo female traveller, safety and comfort are my top priorities and I felt very well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Ehud also has a great knowledge of all the sites and history and was very patient with my questions as we toured the locations. A bonus is that he is also an excellent photographer! And captured some amazing memories for me. Highly recommend.

We had a great guide who...
We had a great guide who was very knowledgeable and took time to explain the history and even took the time to teach us Arabic and its meaning. This tour is a must as it gives you another look into Cairo. At one of the stops, you have a nice view of Cairo. And the lunch was not as described, instead it was a fabulous lunch with a great selection of Egyptian dishes in a beautiful restaurant. This made for a wonderful day in Cairo.

Wouldn’t do this tour again
Probably one of the worse tours that I have had in the many years I have traveled. From the beginning our tour guide seemed irritated
And seemed bothered, not sure why but I gave him the benefit of doubt. First of our guide Muhhamed Zayed didn’t want to change to take us Royal Mummies Hall instead of the market, we had contacted the company to make the change and the company by the way was very accommodating and communication was great. But our guide wanted argued about and we say it was no problem if he couldn’t, but the company had said it was ok, but we could do the market again of there was an issue. The biggest issue comes when se arrive to the mosque and he went to pay the entrance ticket, he approached me and said that he had an issues with his card and if we could pay and then he would pay us at the end and I told him that we couldn’t he got mad, I said no because I had read that this happen to someone else in the reviews and like magic later on he got the tickets, he seemed bothered the entire tour and had a bad taste of Egypt and I didn’t enjoy the tour at all, the company should really make sure that they hire qualified guides that actually want to do the job, it was clear he didn’t want to be there. Also our tour was requested in English and there was some lack of language there which it usually is where we go to other countries, but it was as manly his rude attitude the set up the unpleasant environment.

While the itinerary...
While the itinerary itself is great, I’ve actually enjoyed this exact tour about 4 years ago. But this experience was ruined by our guide, Mirna. Having encountered over 20 guides previously, I can honestly say she was the least professional.
Here is why...
To begin with, she was 40 minutes late for a 7:00 AM start. Worse, she seemed completely unaware of the itinerary, asking us just 10 minutes into the drive to show her our booking so she knew where we were going. Throughout the day, her historical knowledge was nonexistent; she spoke only in brief "headlines" and often left sentences unfinished.
She made us pay for the parking fees at the Citadel. It wasn't much, but I'm not sure what the tour fees were paid for if they don't also cover parking.
At the Al-Rifa'i Mosque, we didn't want to enter, it was enough to see it from the outside, but we still wanted to learn about the place, she ignored our request and instead pressured us to move on!!
At the Khan el-Khalili, she didn’t tell us a single thing about the area other than, 'This is the Husayn Mosque, I'll be here at this cafe, take a tour and we will meet here in one hour'!
Most concerning was her behavior. She was consistently disrespectful, responding to questions with sarcasm and even bullying my sister. She also encouraged aggressive street vendors, at one point even opening the car door for a seller we were trying to avoid.
We were so upset by the end of the day that we couldn't wait to go home and didn't tip our driver appropriately, which I regret, as he was very nice and respectful.
If you want to book this tour, I strongly recommend ensuring Merna is not assigned to your booking.

Recommended. Tour lasted shorter than planned
Very knowledgeable guide who speaks good German and is a retired professor. However, we needed less time than stated despite extensive viewing. Other sightseeing locations as part of the tour would be possible. Unfortunately, however, due to Ramadan, many things closed 2 hours earlier than usual, so we could not have visited many things until the stated end time.
