My partner and I booked this tour and loved it. It was romantic walking through old streets, inspiring visiting historic churches and mosques, and exciting exploring Khan El-Khalili together. Samy was kind and knowledgeable. This became one of our favorite memories from Egypt.
If you enjoy private tours, this is a great one to book. Hany gave us full attention and tailored the experience to our interests. Every stop was worthwhile and beautifully different. We especially enjoyed the stories about Cairo’s past. Very professional and enjoyable tour.
