Sherry is a nice and knowledgeable guide. Recommended!
Sherry the guide took us from hotel. She is knowledgeable, patient and well organized guide. She is also so warm that you make you feel relaxed and safe. Lunch place and food were also decent. I chose private tour. I recommend you make it private because Egypt is already a crowded place and will see many tourist in designated places so that you want to look for easy and smooth way of guiding.

Old Cairo's hidden gems revealed
We had such a wonderful experience during our day exploring Egypt, and I truly appreciate how effortless the company made everything for us. Visiting Old Cairo was such a joy! We saw the impressive camel of Salah El Din and the beautiful Mosque of Ahmed Ibn Tulun, not to mention the Hanging Church. It was truly a memorable adventure, and I encourage others to take the chance to experience it as well!
