Walk through the old city of Fatimid Cairo and experience 1000 years of history. - This was a wonderful tour to walk through the local streets and see the historical monuments of the old city of Cairo. The tour guide Sumaya was fantastic. She knew her history and culture and she was able to show me what I wanted to see.

Two sides of the Cairo coin! - Our great guide Waleed took us all around peaceful and beautiful Al-Azhar park and then moved to the eye-candy that is Moez Street and vicinity where he knew every alley and hidden corner. Great day out!

Unique Experience - We spent the afternoon exploring El Moez Street with our Emo Tours guide, Ahmed Tonsi. He was patient with our family, clicking away as we experienced his city. He kindly did all our bidding, advising what to buy and what not to buy. He negotiated good prices for our henna tattoos and even went so far as to go look for a particular book that my husband wanted. Obviously the kids were enthralled with the unique cotton candy offered in El Moez Street and he bought some for both of them.
He was knowledgeable, pointing out things we didn't think to take notice of. We followed this with a visit to a popular park in Cairo, Al Azhar Park. There were many weddings happening in the park and it was quite a sight to behold. Tonsi was wonderful and we would definitely recommend him.

Not as advertised - This tour was borderline fraudulent.
The following issues occurred:
1. Despite having provided my whatsapp number and a local Egypt phone number (and acknowledged by the tour operator the day before), the guide turned up in the very busy hotel lobby area with no attempt to identify himself or to look for me or to contact me at all. It was only after I chased the tour operator that they sent me a photo of him. He had no visible identification that he was my tour guide. The tour was nearly 20 minutes late as a result. He was not apologetic and insisted that he had arrived on time, but did not answer my query about why on Earth he didn’t attempt to look for me or call me or make some sort of effort to look like anything other than a hotel guest.
2. The tour includes entry tickets to a number of sites. However, the guide said tickets were not included. We had to pay for every site we visited. I have a WhatsApp message from the tour operator (from a few days before the tour) confirming that we would be entering all of the places on the itinerary.
3. The guide had no knowledge or experience of the sites we were visiting. He even acknowledged this after I asked him. From his point of view we were supposed to walk up El Moez street and visit a park.
4. Due to the guide being inexperienced, we had to pay at each site for a local person to give us a very quick tour inside, with broken English. We could barely understand some of it.
5. The tour guide was not allowed inside some of the sites. I suspect this is because he didn’t have an official tour guide licence most probably. We saw other tour groups with their knowledgeable guides providing good info in good English inside sites that he wasn’t allowed into. In some sites, he managed to talk his way in, and was then taking photos and selfies and asking questions from the local staff (that we had to pay) within the sites. He was literally learning about the sites he was supposed to be knowledge about.
6. We did not visit the park (supposed to have spent 2 hours at Al Azhar Park according to the itinerary).
