Fantastic way to see old Cairo!

We had a fantastic afternoon tour with Maged as our drive and Fady as our guide. Driving through downtown was an experience in itself especially when we were coming back at the time for Iftar! Watching Maged weave us through the traffic was a good lesson in how to drive here! The mosques, synagogue and churches were fabulous to see and there was so much history to learn; Fady had lots of interesting things to share about each place. Fady also gave us the opportunity to stop and try some koshary that we really enjoyed and we had an experience of the bustling markets! It was a really varied afternoon and a lovely introduction to old town Cairo!

The tour of the Coptic...

The tour of the Coptic neighborhood and Old Town was one of the most interesting parts of our visit to Cairo. Our guide Bisho was very knowledgeable and shared many stories about the history and culture of the area, which made the experience much more meaningful. Walking through the old streets and visiting the historic churches was truly special. The guide Bisho was friendly, patient, and made the tour feel very personal. We really enjoyed it.

Great trip with a friendly guide and driver

Our guide, Ehab, was helpful, knowledgeable and, clearly, well known by all the people he shook hands with! Our driver, Saied, managed to negotiate the horrendous traffic in Cairo and got us to Coptic churches, a disused synagogue and the mosque of Mohammed Ali. They both went above and beyond the effort required and deserve all the success due to them.

A great day out in Cairo with local guides.

We went with our driver Saied and guide Ehab to visit the Coptic churches, a disused synagogue and the Citadel, containing the Mohammed Ali mosque. Saied was able to navigate the very busy streets of Cairo while Ehab described the places we were to visit before taking us round to each. Ehab was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who didn't hesitate to answer any questions we might have and who took some interesting pictures of the two of us. I would definitely recommend both as a good team who can ensure you get to see the sights without being hassled and who remain positive and helpful throughout.

Ask for Sandy and Mahmoud

This tour is a must do if you want to explore old Cairo especially the religious sites like the hanging church. My driver Mahmoud was great, on time, reasonable. My tour guide Sandy was phenomenal, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I highly recommend both of them for a trip in Cairo.

Dynamic Tour Guide

Beshop, (apologies if I spelled the name wrong) was a very great tour guide! Everything was rushed in the beginning due to timing, but he made it pleasant! My daughter and I got to experience this once in a lifetime journey and I’m glad he was our tour Guide.
