Excellent guide and better conversation

🇪🇸 Today our guide was Hazem Zoma, who in addition to telling us the whole story about Citadel of Salah El-din and Mohamed Ali Mosque and having a great knowledge about it, took us to other places of interest like Khan el-khalily where we had time to have a great conversation, telling us about their culture, way of life and many other topics, answering every question from us. Highly recommended and we are eternally grateful 🇬🇧 Excellent guide and even better conversation Today our guide was Hazem, who, in addition to telling us the entire history of the Citadel of Salah El-Din and the Mohamed Ali Mosque and being extremely knowledgeable, took us to other sites of interest such as Khan el-Khalili, where we had time for a great conversation, telling us about their culture, way of life, and many other topics, answering every question we had.

Religious Historical Highlights

We had a great time with Eman, our tour guide. She was warm, friendly and very accommodating during our tour. She shared her deep knowledge about each religious centre we attended. Throughout our tour, even when driving from one place to the next, she pointed out other places of interest and shared information that helped us put everything in context. It was a wonderful day. Highly recommend.

Great experience with Rafat in Cairo

Rafat was the best driver going throughout Cairo! Would request him if you book this tour. The visit to the Islamic mosques was truly awe-inspiring — the intricate architecture and peaceful atmosphere made it a spiritual experience. Exploring Coptic Cairo was equally amazing. Walking through ancient churches and narrow streets gave a deep sense of history and culture. The blend of art and tradition there was unforgettable. The Bazaar was the perfect way to end the day, immersing ourselves in the vibrant local life. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting an enriching and memorable cultural journey!

Private Tour of Cairo

Our first time in Egypt and we decided to take a shopping tour of Khan el-Khalili market and surrounding areas. Our guide Eman was phenomenal. He took us to places of papyrus, perfumes, spices and other purely Egyptian things. I highly recommend it if you come to Cairo.

Very Knowledgeable Insight

Ehab had an extensive knowledge of the churches and mosques of Cairo together with the history of Egypt as a whole. This private Tour was well worth it.

Coptic Cairo

We had such a nice time with Eman. She spent the day showing us so many historical sites such as the hanging church and cave church. Also we had a wonderful time at the Khan-Khalili market.

Great tour with an extra stop

I purchased the tour with just a guide and driver. Both the driver and guide were great, I had a great day with them. The second place we stopped was a row of several shops, which were not part of the itinerary. I was brought to a perfume shop, spice shop, gold shop, and Egyptian cotton shop where I was given a pitch at each place. I ended up buying a few things but the prices were overall very high. We then went on our way through the rest of the tour as listed on the itinerary. The pace at the market, which was the last stop, was very quick. I would recommend this tour but recommend telling the guide you do not want to stop at the shops. It is best to simply wait for shopping at the market where the prices are lower.
