A memorable day in Historic Cairo - We had a special day with a trip to Islamic Cairo, arranged by Ms Salma, and well-guided by Mr Aref Bakry, who demonstrated vast knowledge and rich experience. We enjoyed our visit to
Mosque of Ibn Tulun with its beautiful architecture and we climbed its unique minaret. We also visited Al-Rifa'i Mosque and seen its burial chamber for King Farouk and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last shah in Iran. We were lucky to meet some of the relatives of Empress Farah Pahlavi that paid a visit to the shah. We ended the trip with visiting the Baron palace, a very distinguished piece of art that we recommend not to miss....

Excellent experience - Highly recommended, very rich places but you have to have a good tour guide which I did, Mrs. Fatma Soliman, very very knowledgeable person, her English is perfect and answered all my questions, planning to come back in few months with my daughters and for sure I will use the same company and the same tour guide. Again, thank you so much for the great experience.

Not to recommend this Tour company and the tour - Our experience 1
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the recent tour we took to Abdeen Palace, Baron Palace, and Manial Palace.
First and foremost, the tour to Abdeen Palace was particularly disappointing. We had anticipated an inside visit; however, upon arrival, we discovered that we could only view the palace from the outside. The tour was scheduled on a public holiday, and we were not informed in advance that access to the museum part interior would be restricted due to this closure. Additionally, despite receiving a WhatsApp message from the tour representative the day before, updating us on the name of the tour guide and expressing that they were looking forward to our visit, we were left very unsatisfied with the experience.
Moreover, I believe the tour was overpriced given the circumstances.
On a more positive note, our visit to Baron Palace was enjoyable. The driver was professional, and the car was comfortable. However, I found the tour guide's knowledge of the history to be lacking, which detracted from the overall experience.
Given these issues, I cannot recommend the tour operator to anyone.
We end up seeming only The Barron palace
I send them message one week before that we will not go to the Manial Palace because we have seen it last year
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
