Such a great experience - Nourhan was such an amazing guide. We traveled with two kids so patience and flexibility is always a plus, and Nourhan was great with them. All the tour was wonderful but the final phase in the market was a perfect end. Thank you so much!

Good tour to experience Cairo highlights in one day (except the shopping bit) - Our tour guide, Roaa, was on time to pick us up at the hotel. Our driver was amazing at being able to maneuver on noisy and busy Cairo roads. They took us to various churches in the Coptic Cairo portion of the trip, then on to the Citadel. After that we went to the Al-Azhar Mosque. We didn't get to experience the mosque visit as much as I preferred because there was a funeral happening. Then we went to Khan El-Kahlili Bazaar which was quieter that I expected (perhaps because it was during Ramadan) so we just ended up walking around looking at nothing in particular. Roaa was friendly, professional, and funny, plying us with good historical information of all the places we visited. The downside to the tour was when we were taken to various shops where we felt coerced to buy items from the stores. The tour (except the shopping part) is recommended for experiencing the highlights of Cairo in one day.

It was a pleasant trip. - I'm grateful to the driver and our guide for their care and for explaining the religious culture of Coptic churches and mosques to me throughout the trip. The original package included Bazar Khan El-Khalili, a famous local market, but I don't enjoy shopping. I changed the package at the last minute to visit the Egyptian Museum at my own expense to learn about the development of ancient Egyptians. Our guide readily agreed. She was very helpful, and we quickly became friends.

Great inclusive tour (non-museum) of Cairo hitting the main highlights. - Booked this tour last minute, tour guide contacted me right after confirming pick time/location. Private car picked us up on time, and hit all the major sites in Cairo, with Roaa the guide explaining the historic details of each. She was patient, friendly and funny, we had a pleasant tour. It ended at khan el-Khalili with some shopping , she helped with advice and selections. Over all very recommended.

Great Guide and Patient Driver in Cairo – Highly Recommended! - We had a fantastic day exploring Cairo with our tour guide Abdu and our driver Ashraf. Abdu was very knowledgeable and informative, taking us through some of the city’s most remarkable sites including the Coptic Church, the beautiful Mohammed Ali Mosque, and the lively Khan El Khalili Market. He shared interesting historical and cultural insights along the way, which made the experience much more meaningful. Our driver Ashraf was equally wonderful. He was extremely patient navigating the busy Cairo traffic and made sure we were comfortably transported between each stop. His calm and friendly demeanor made the entire day feel relaxed and well organized. Together, Abdu and Ashraf made a great team and ensured we had an enjoyable and memorable experience. We truly appreciated their professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Cairo.
