Awesome city tour - Fabulous tour of Cairo city. Guide Marsil was very knowledgeable about the Coptic and Islamic heritage and history. The architecture is breathtaking. I added a sailboat ride (Feluca) which was also very nice. Beautiful way to see Cairo - from the water with a refreshing breeze. Ibrahim the driver was very good. Very careful and safe

Fascinating tour in Cairo - Kryllos Eskandar was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and organised our tour to suit our wishes. He explained about Egyptian culture from Ancient right up to current day. Fascinating and inciteful. Ahmed was a great driver in a comfortable air conditioned car. We would highly recommend as we had a personal tour at a reasonable price. We enjoyed it so much we are booking them both again for tomorrow.

Amazing experience with our fantastic guide Ehab! A must-do in Cairo! - We spent a fabulous day with our guide Ehab, going to the Citadel, the Egyptian Civilization museum and the Khan el khalili market. Ehab was really knowledgeable about the Citadel and mosque. He explained all the displays in the museum very clearly and in such an engaging way that even the kids were not bored. More than anything, Ehab was just so pleasant, polite and helpful. The best part of the whole day was our visit to the market, where Ehab accompanied us and showed us around. This is truly where we saw how honest and helpful he was. We never once felt pressured to go to any store or buy anything. Unlike other visits and tours we’ve taken, where the guides take you to certain stores where they get a commission, Ehab was very respectful of us and just guided us through but left us to our own devices in the stores. We never felt manipulated at any time. Would recommend this tour a 100% because you feel like the team are looking out for you.

Cairo in a day - Mr. Ahmed Gaber is very patient, knowledgeable and did a great private guided tour of Cairo in a day. We covered a lot and it was not very tiring either. He was very amicable and helpful. Mr. Rafat, our driver is a very pleasant man and was so polite and kind throughout. Would recommend them to anyone who need a good tour of Cairo.
