Amazing Cairo Tour with Zizou – Knowledgeable, Kind & Professional - We had a fantastic private tour in Cairo with our guide, Zizou! From the moment we met him, he was warm, welcoming, and very professional. He shared fascinating insights about Egypt’s history and culture in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. We visited the Egyptian Museum, the Coptic churches, and the market, and Zizou made each stop meaningful and enjoyable. What we appreciated most was his professionalism— he always made sure we were comfortable, gave us time to explore at our own pace, and was happy to answer all our questions. We also appreciated that he wasn’t pushy with shopping stops and let us decide. Zizou is clearly passionate about his country and his work, and it shows. We highly recommend booking a tour with him — it made our Cairo experience truly memorable!

Fascinating day tour of historic Cairo - A fascinating tour of the highlights of Coptic and Islamic Cairo including the Hanging Church, the Mohammed Ali mosque, the famous Al Muizz Street, the Khan el-Khalili bazaar and the Museum of Islamic Art. We were picked up from our hotel on time and our driver (Omar) was brilliant at negotiating the somewhat unpredictable Cairo traffic! Our incredibly knowledgeable guide Zizou took us on a journey through 2000 years and explained the key historical and religious developments brilliantly. He tailored the day to our wishes and we highly recommend a tour with him.

Egyptian museum: churches: Bazar and coffee - Zizou and Ehab Our trip today was amazing. 🤩 We went to the Egyptian museum saw so many intriguing things. Zizou was so knowledgeable and shared all the best highlights. We went to many churches and a synagogue and ended the day at the bazar. Without him we would have been lost. Ehab picked us up and dropped us off at every destination with a smile. I would highly recommend bothers guys. Truly one of the best experiences. Lunch was also delicious.

Don’t miss out on this tour! - Mohamed Gomaa was a fantastic tour guide! He was so impressive with his wealth of knowledge. His humor made the experience so enjoyable. I highly recommend the tour with him. And he’s super cute too. We had our own tour through Deluxe that we requested that they did not offer but accommodated us. So all in all it was just perfect.

Satisfied - On Day 2 I visited the churches, Egyptian Museum and a market. The guide was so knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the Egyptian history. If I had more time I would have spent more hours in the Egyptian Museum, but the guide selected the most important exhibitions to make the limited time valuable. I am so thankful to this tour company to make my short visit so valuable.

Connecting the dots of Egyptian history with the rest of the world - With Zizou as a guide the Egyptian Museum was the perfect way to put all we had seen and heard in our time in Egypt into context. Zizou answered all our questions and helped us learn so much about the history of Egypt and surrounding areas. He has a fantastic way of teaching so even teenagers are dying to know more.

Great day in Cairo! - We had a wonderful day touring Cairo with Mahmoud. He is a highly knowledgeable guide, and he showed us a number of great sites. I couldn’t recommend visiting the Hanging Church more, and with Mahmoud it was even more interesting. He also had deep knowledge of the Egyptian Museum and its contents. You can’t go wrong with Mahmoud!
