Cairo sites
Busy and full day with Ahmed. Tour included some extra items like shopping excursions we were too tired to enjoy on our first day here. Unclear from description whether lunch was included. We did enjoy relaxing with a cool drink in the market. Ahmed openly shared his knowledge. George his driver was amazing in heavy Cairo traffic.

Unforgettable!
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Cairo. Our guide was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. He never rushed us and took the time to explain the history and significance of the mosque, church, and stop along the way. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed sharing his culture with us.
As a bonus, he took us to what he called the best shawarma in town, and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious!
If you’re looking for a tour that’s informative, relaxed, and gives you an authentic local experience, I highly recommend this one.

Great tour!
We had a great time with our guide Ahmed! Even though the tour took longer than expected we managed to visit all the amazing spots. Additionally, we visited multiple local stores who gave us short workshops. Highly recommend! :)

Excellent and informative...
Excellent and informative tour! Our guide Beshoy made sure to adjust the tour for our needs and wants and helped open the wonder of Old Cairo to us. The tour included stops that allowed for shopping and purchasing Egyptian specialties.
Highly recommended for a half day event.

Interesting tour
The guide sandy is a beautiful and nice lady . She explained history well and was patient. All churches we visited are magnificent! And it would have been better if the shopping section was shorter but still fun to know about oil seasoning clothes and papyrus paper.
