I had great time with Rania my private tour guide in Coptic Cairo, Saladin Citadel and cave church (Saint Simeon). We saw most of the things in Coptic Cairo (Saint George church, synagogue, hanging church) and it was a perfect private tour for me. Thank you again Rania for everything!!!
We spent a wonderful day in Cairo accompanied by Youssef, a young guide, very prepared and with a really perfect Italian. From the first moment he was very kind, helpful and always attentive to our every need. He had incredible patience and managed to make the visit even more enjoyable and fun, especially for my daughter, who was literally bewitched by his magic games! It was great to see how much she could engage and entertain her throughout the day. We also loved his willingness to meet us in everything from changing the lunch menu to helping us do the best deals at Khan Al-Khalili market without stress. The day in his company was really special, not only for the places visited but also for the serene and pleasant climate he managed to create. We absolutely recommend Youssef to those who want to experience Cairo with a competent, friendly and attentive guide.
Very nice tour and full of emotions. The guide Eman was very good and explained everything very well
It was a great journey in Cairo with Rania and she told us detailed description about the attractions.
We did the tour with Iman. She was an excellent guide and knows very much about the histories of Cairo. She explained very well the histories/background of different mosques and churches. She also showed us the city streets and we tried the typical Egyptian food (very delicious!). Was a lovely tour and we enjoyed it very much.
Good communications in advance, pickup was on-time. It was nice to talk with Omar about general Egyptian life. But there was almost no "guiding" on this trip for the various sights; we had to go into some churches on our own and google up our own information. The company also cut out one of the major Mosques vs. what had been written in the itinerary when we booked. We ended up back at our hotel much earlier than planned. Overall, I would recommend another tour/guide or just taking Uber to the sights (extremely cheap) and exploring on your own.
We did the tour of Cairo with our guide Youssef a very prepared young man who speaks Italian perfectly, nice and kind, attentive to our every need accompanied us and made known many curiosities of the places visited. Finding such an honest and polite person is a rarity we were very lucky 🍀
Omar our guide, young boy graduated in languages, speaks Italian quite well and was with us very attentive and even in some cases protezione.Ci illustrated very well all the sites visited, and answered our domande.Ci accompanied us to the bazaar and then to the restaurant where we enjoyed koshari, the most famous dish in Egypt.Poi short tour in felucca to fini.Experience really advisable!!
Amr guided us around Coptic and Islamic Cairo today. He went above and beyond for us, taking us to all the locations on the itinerary plus a few extra we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable and made it easy to understand the long history of the destinations visited. He also allowed us to explore places on our own while he wanted. Our driver navigated the chaotic streets with ease and made us feel safe amongst the intense traffic.
We had a wonderful day together with our tour guide Amr. Sailing in the morning on the Nile was very peaceful and relaxing and the churches and the mosque we visited afterwards were amazing. Amr was a very nice and friendly guy, he spoke English very well and he had a good knowledge about Cairo, Egypt and the places we visited. He had a lot to tell us, which was very interesting, also he was a good photographer and took many pictures of us. We really enjoyed the day and the tour. The meal we had at the end was so delicious that we visited the restaurant the next day again on our own. We thank Amr very much for the wonderful day and the experiences and highly recommend this tour with Amr.
