Islamic and Coptic Cairo Private Half-Day Tour

Mahmoud is fantastic, he knows history and helped us enjoy the old mosques and churches without the hassle of figuring everything out on our own. He is the best

I had a great day with Mahnoud Elfeky and i really enjoyed the tour to the old Coptic churches and the old islamic masques.

Mahmoud was spectacular. We highly recommend him. He is extremely knowledgeable, lovely to spend time with, and incredibly flexible. Five stars aren’t enough! Thank you Mahmoud for such a wonderful time and helping to make our time in Cairo so special.

Nothing to say about the Agency, careful in requests for communication. Instead the guide - requested by us speaking Spanish - from the beginning proved to be inadequate, with an investigative attitude that I interpreted aimed at understanding the "weight" of the prey. Not to mention before the visit to Coptic Cairo he invited us not to buy anything in the place - so much for religious tolerance - and my wife is a Christian Catholic ... For the rest, he made us stop at shops where the feeling he had was to be ATMs subject to withdrawal for commission. The straw that broke the camel's back was that in the store, this time chosen by us, we had seen a football outfit at 18 euros for our grandson, but they did not have the right size, so the guide told us that she would take us to a store where we would find the product not "Chinese" but Egyptian quality, and certainly with the size we needed. Result: product found in size necessary, perfectly identical to what we had, seen at the modest figure of 80 euros!! At my complaint the scandalized guide told us that it was a quality fabric outfit and not a "cineseria". Too bad he didn't know that I know enough about fabrics from experience... Then I realized that this person has never traveled outside his country, and his inferences were dictated by the wisdom of those who think they are the smartest. I repeat, nothing against the Agency, but with my wife we were really bitter by the poor attitude of the guide.

Amazing experience 👌🏼Mr Mahmoud showed us the best places in Islamic and Coptic Cairo. Absolutely must see in your time spent in Cairo! Very family friendly and comfortable trip. Very very recommened.

Aly Elsheemy was such an exceptional tour guide. He made everything to make our tour memorable, comfortable and educational. He was such a great personality and he explained everything. He was also very caring and protective with our kid which made it to put him in our hearts. I totally recommend Aly for a tour guide in Cairo

The guide is an actual archaeologist. He explains the history pretty well. And he is able to answer many of our curious questions.

Mahmoud is very well informed on everything regarding Cairo. He made us feel very comfortable and he makes the information super easy to digest. The company is organized and communicates effectively. Looking to come back to explore with more of my friends as soon as possible! :)

Mahmoud Adel was our tour guide for a full day trip. He was really knowledgeable about the history of each location and we learnt a lot. He also organised a driver for us and picked us up from the hotel. He was very flexible with tailoring the tour to suit our needs. We've recommended him to multiple friends and they have all had good experiences with him.

We had a hugely enjoyable day with Mahmoud adel as our guide as he is hugely knowledgeable and gave us so much info on a huge subject . He’s also flexible on the itinerary so we could make the most of the short stay we had which we very much appreciated . I would also recommend him for other tours as his Egyptology research and background is extensive. We were picked up and accompanied throughout the tour which made a world of difference in a city like cairo as we would never have been able to see what we did solo ….
