Superb experience! - Amazing experience all the way through. Our humble and knowledgeable guide Madhat showed us around the citadel, the mosques, and both museums with calmness and gave us time to explore on our own. I also liked that our tour guide did not insist upon us to go to areas where we did not wanted to go. I feel that these areas are there to create coerced business,which, to be fair i would not blame them im doing so as you can always say no.
Standout part of the tour was the citadel and national egyptian museum which was just incredible.
Lunch was a buffet and great. I hope other tours include the buffet option as well.
All in all well worth the price.
