I learnt a lot!! - Solo female traveler here!! I took the tour of old Cairo with Karim and it was a wonderful day. Karim was an excellent guide, he seems passionate about what he does and about Egyptian history, he explains everything in detail and with great patience. We visited a lot of beautiful places around Old Cairo except Khan El Khalili since I was super tired by that time. All in all, it was one of my favorite days in Egypt, and the passion with which Karim talks about Egyptian history is simply amazing. I recommend it 100%. A tip: If you don't want to go to the papyrus or perfume stores, let the guides know from the beginning since they will definitely take you to those stores during the trip. (I did visit the stores and they were very nice)

Coptic and Islamic cairo - Kereem was an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable and took pictures the whole time which was nice since I’m solo traveling. Mohammad was an awesome driver! He’s the Egyptian Vin Diseal. I felt safe and taken care of the whole time. I highly recommend them for your Cairo travels!

The best option for Cairo guide with car - Kareem has taken an incredibly great care of us! He has flexibly adjusted the tour to what interested us the most, proficiently skipped the lines in top tourist spots and took great care of us in the market - always staying together and advising where items were overpriced and not. Overall, exceptional knowledge of Egyptian culture and history combined with fluent English and much better price than what hotels offer, will guarantee you a perfect choice to start your Cairo trip!

Quick tour of Coptic Cairo - It was a great tour and my wife and I enjoyed it very much. I recommend it highly if you have only half a day on your Egypt schedule.

Great tour, strongly recommended - Mohamed gave us an amazing tour of the Salahuddin Citadel, Coptic churches and Khan el Khalil. He also pointed us to good places to eat and shops with fixed prices in nooks and crannies of Khan el Khalil which we would not have found ourselves. We strongly recommend taking this tour if you want to learn history, want peace of mind while going through the the chaos of the city and want to find some hidden shopping spots.
