Warm and welcoming

Sandy was very friendly and approachable with a good grasp of the English language. She had lots of information about Egyptian history and made us feel very welcome. We also had two unexpected stop offs at a perfumery and a papyrus museum - both very interesting. We would definitely Sandy. Thank you.

A Must While In Egypt!!

Roma was my tour guide. She was nothing short of brilliant and phenomenal. Pick up and drop off were provided as part of the tour. I would recommend doing this earlier in the day as many of the sites that are on the tour do close around 4PM. The experience is a walking tour that takes you on a journey through the cultural, religious, and political history of Egypt starting from the post-Hellenistic era. Once you’re done visiting the Pyramids/Sphinx and the GEM, head over and do this excursion to get a fun, riveting, different, and thought-provoking perspective on one of history’s greatest civilizations.

I wanted to give a full 5...

I wanted to give a full 5 star for the guide, Roma. So friendly and knowledgeable. It felt like as if I had a friend here in Cairo, who was showing me around. Highly recommend to do this tour, if you have a day to spare aside from visiting the GEM and pyramids. 1 less star than what I wanted to give because the tour operator came off very aggressive, asking me to do other tours. Just firmly tell the operator, no, if you are not interested. Perhaps, I dragged the conversation unnecessarily long, by being polite. But the guide herself was worth this trouble!

Must do tour aside from looking at the Pyramids

Roma was so friendly and knowledgeable. She was so ready to answer all the questions that you might had. She explained the things to you with her own personal touch. Very good way to learn about Cairo, and Egypt in general, if you have a day to spare to look around Cairo aside from the pyramids.

Lovely tour of Coptic Cairo.

Beshoy is an excellent guide. Very impressive knowledge of the sites on our tour. And informative on the Coptic religion. Made a good suggestion for dinner as well.

Authentic visit of Old Cairo with expertise

We were picked up from our hotel by our driver (George) and tour guide Sandy. Both of them were really competent in what they were doing - George was navigating through the traffic chaos in Cairo and Sandy was answering all of our questions that we had and showed us a different side of Cairo and Egypt in general, that we otherwise would not have seen. The vibe in general was really good and cozy and it felt like you were together with a good friend showing you around. Would definitely recommend! It was a pleasant and great experience all in all! :)

Old Cairo Visit

Very nice visit. It was so great to see the Coptic churches as well as the Muhammad Ali mosque. We went to a very nice restaurant in the bazar as well. I didn’t buy anything in the Bazar, but it was still nice to walk around its streets.
