This was a very enjoyable trip to some of the oldest and most beautiful Mosques in Cairo and possiblythe world. Ehab the guide was excellent. Friendly welcoming and knowledgeable. I was a solo traveller and was giving the VIP treatment. He was very patient and allowed me to spend alot of time taking photos and also took some on his phone when my camera phone was not playing up. I definitely recommend you go on this trip to see the history behind these beautiful buildings

Islam was an excellent driver. Ehab was gracious and knowledgeable. He was very informative about anything we asked. He catered to our needs and made sure we could see & do everything we wanted. We learned so much about the mosques & Coptic churches. Both were fun to hang out with. Highly recommend!

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide Bisho. Great option as there are not a lot tours out there that offer start time at 1 pm., which is what I was looking for since I arrived early in the morning that day. I learned a lot and had a great time. Highly recommended!

Very good compact 4 hr tour which gives you great overview of Islamic Cairo. There aren’t too many tours out there which allow the flexibility to start at 1 pm. After arriving from a long flight from the US that’s exactly what I was looking for. My tour guide Bisho was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Driver was very nice as well. I learned a lot and felt safe 100% of the time during this tour

We had a great time with our tour guide Ehab. He was very friendly and took care of us. While we were driving, he gave us a lot of information about Cairo and he was well informed about the mosques which we have been to. Also our driver Moaz was very friendly and we felt comfortable.

My guide was Ahmed, a very soft-spoken gentleman who was very knowledgeable about the mosques. I was awestruck by the architecture! Ahmed did a great job of explaining the Mamluk and Ottoman styles. He even informed me that the last Shah of Iran was buried near by and took me to see the gravesite. I’d highly recommend Ahmed. What’s more, he’s a GREAT photographer.
