First impression, best impression
We had an amazing time with Ahmed and Hany. Ahmed is very knowledgeable and explained the history of the places. He and Hany were super accommodating to our requests and brought us for lunch which was not in the tour. Our tour overran by 1.5hrs! Their hospitality is commendable.

Cairo 1/2 day tour
Bisho was a very good guide. He drove and guided me through the places he promised to show. He explained historical associated with the places and answered my questions. His English is so. good that I could understand everything he said. The car he drove was new and clean. It was worth the money.
