Amazing tour.
Very informative and not rushed at all. Our guide, Simon, was very knowledgeable and kept the hagglers away too.

Nice afternoon in Cairo
We took the « only driver option » and we were happy to have Raafat to drive us through Cairo, we did the citadel, the Coptic museum, Khan al Khalili and also some little nice adresses than Raafat made us discover through the afternoon. He picked us up on time at every stops. Thank you for this tour ! (Just note that you need to pay the parking for the citadelle, only 25EGP)

Cairo Cultural Trio
My tour started with a deep dive into Islamic Cairo, and the mosques her are breathtakingly beautiful. Stepping into the Mosque of muhammad Ali felt like entering a uniquie Ottoman flourish! Demiana was my tour guide and she made sure to spill the tea (all the knowledge she has) and I left nourished. She expalined the history so well that I drop it into conveersations now, cos I know that much, lol. The views from the cistadel are fantstic, the vibe is serene, respectful a perfect counterpoint to the city's usual hustle. We then went to the Coptic, and Damiana explained this spiritual pocket so well. She's successfully stitched together 3 distinct worlds into masterful storytelling, got me snacks and made sure that I try true Egyptian food which she ordered ahesd of time, so no waiting at the the restaurant, and we got the best table too! She's hands down brilliant. A five-star tour guide who I absolutely recommend! Did I mention her mad photography skills! Yup, five-star for real! Book her!

Another enjoyable day in Cairo
What a great day. We were picked up by our driver. We asked for a coffee so he took as to a little coffee shop, we asked what was normal for breakfast here. He asked if we wanted to go to breakfast. So off we went down some back streets and had a street side breakfast of bread and beans. I really have no idea what it was but it’s was tastie. We then met up with our guide. We had the same guide for our Giza tour and he is great. He took time to explain things in the way I would expect a teacher to teach his students. I found it very informative. He took great care to ensure we felt safe which I appreciated. We ended the day with a fresh fruit drink from a small shop. Just a fun day.

Hesham Egypt Tour Guides were amazing.
Amazing service. The driver was on point and so was the tour guide. Their tours were not rushed. We’ve had other experiences on this trip. This was by far the best.
