Good tour would recommend 👍 - Our guide/driver was on time and even bought us a cuppa tea. He was very helpful al day and gave us lots of information. We got to see the citadel and the mosque which is well worth a visit and the hanging church. I would recommend this tour if you don’t have much time but would like to see some more of Cairo. Be aware the traffic is manic but our driver was very good.

Good tour for half day - Mira is very knowledgeable and gave a thorough explanation, she was attentive and friendly. The tour itself was shorter than 4 h, more like 2.5 but covered all the points, so all good.

Fun at the museum. - The pasma guide was the best of everything very attentive at all times, the best of all is that she speaks Spanish so it was not difficult at all communication, besides that the tour was in a car with air conditioning making the experience much more pleasant, I would definitely return to Egypt and book here again.

Amazing Experience!! - I had an amazing time by myself going to the Muhammad Ali Mosque which was so beautiful, the Christian Coptic church where Jesus and the holy family hid & did some shopping. Yasser did an amazing job with information, knowing Egyptian history and I felt safe and enjoyed my entire time! Definitely recommend

Good experience - It’s a great experience, they pick you up and drive you everywhere. We had our tour in spanish, and we’re not sure if it was a language problem or if the guide didn’t know the history of the places as we asked questions and didn’t get an exact answer.
