Discover hidden gems of Mosques in Cairo

The Islamic Cairo tour was extremely informative. Our tour guide and driver were extremely accommodating and patient since we were traveling with a toddler. Our tour guide, Mahmood was very knowledgeable and pointed out many hidden gems. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Great tour

We really loved this tour. The guide was absolutely fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and informative, he shared a lot not only about the sites we attended but overall about Egypt life. He spent a lot of time with us - over and above the schedule. The lunch included was quite nice. The driver was nice too. They will take you to the 3 shops called bazaars, cotton, perfume and papyrus. Don’t buy there because it’s more expensive. We had 2 other tours all raking to the same shops. I bought from papyrus shop but realised at Egyptian museum it was 4 times cheaper. But presentation was very interesting - definitely check it out but don’t buy. The sites included in this tour are very beautiful and not to be missed

The guide’s English isn’t the best so it’s hard to understand. Overall mediocre experience. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Tour and guide recommended, lunch not

Since the first mosque was still closed, we first strolled through virtually empty streets as well as barely open market stalls and drank tea with the guide. This was not a bad start, as we saw this area from a different perspective. The guide was very good and knew a lot to report along the way. He also answered our questions. However, I would no longer book this tour with lunch. Although the Mood and food at Abou al Zouz restaurant were excellent, the cost of the drinks was clear rip-off.
