Unethical Tour Operator
The guide was very nice. However, he did not take us to all the stops that we paid for. And when we asked about a synagogue that was on the itinerary, thinking that it would jog his memory, he stated it was not part of the tour.
At that point in time, we did not feel comfortable asking more information about it, as it was clear that we paid for the tour and we are not going to have an argument in a foreign country.
When we returned to the hotel room, we contacted the tour operator, and he stated that he contacted the guide, and the guide would come back for us. We stated we were already back at the hotel, and then he had stated that the guide said we did not want to go there because it cost too much money. This was a lie, and we were not sure if the tour operator was lying to us or the tour guide was lying to the tour operator …we were not getting anywhere with the tour operator, so we contacted Viator. They sent an email to the operator, immediately took the vendor side and refused to do anything. I had to escalate the issue before Viator actually gave us a small credit. completely unacceptable as we booked three tours through viator, and this was the only operator we had an issue with. As far as the tour operator, he is completely unethical and you should not do any business with them. he even called me negative names on WhatsApp, deleted the link that he sent me to write a review, and then he thought it was funny that I was not going to get any type of compensation. COMPLETELY UNETHICAL OPERATOR
Viator stated that one of the reasons why they believed the operator was because of pictures that were taken at the beginning of the tour. obviously, at the beginning of a tour, and during the tour, pictures would be fine until there is a problem. Viator should not have had me escalate the problem to be listened to especially when we booked three tours through them. and the tour guide operator, is completely unethical.

Bien, mais avec des changements de dernière minute.
C'est un aperçu rapide de la ville du Caire et d'une autre facette de sa culture ; une visite courte mais très intéressante. Avec seulement quelques heures de préavis, ils nous ont fait passer de l'espagnol à l'anglais ; cependant, Bisho était un guide très aimable et arrangeant, et il nous a beaucoup aidés. Merci.

La compagnie d'opérateur était horrible
Guide était très agréable. Cependant, nous n'avons pas vu tout ce que nous avons payé. Il avait déclaré que la synagogue ne faisait pas partie de la tournée. Quand c'était le cas. Et sous-entendu que nous devions payer un supplément. Il a contacté l'opérateur après, et il a dit qu'il renverrait un gars. Mais à ce moment-là, nous ne nous sentions pas en sécurité à cet égard. On s’attend à ce que si on payait quelque chose, ils auraient dû livrer sur le front. L'opérateur lui-même, était complètement grossier et argumentatif. Se sont plaints avec viatour, et ils pourraient se soucier moins de ce que le client déclare. Je vais en parler avec ma compagnie de visas.

Passion, expertise and flexibility - the perfect tour!
We planned a 1/2 day tour with Hesham many months beforehand. On the day before, he clearly communicated with me and the pickup arrangements were made. On the day, WhatsApp was used to make sure found the vehicle picking us up at the hotel. We were guided by Ahmed, with Kazem as our driver. Ahmed was excellent! He seemed to know everyone wherever we went, which was very useful. We first visited the St George church - never expecting to see the patron saint of England revered in Cairo. Ahmed explained how this happened; it was very interesting. Then we walked to the Hanging Church, where we learned its history and the stories told in the mosaics. The ancient Ben Ezra Synagogue we briefly visited after it closed; Ahmed knew the guards who opened it up especially for us. Well done Ahmed! We also called into the Church of Abu Serga where Mary, Joseph and Jesus took refuge from the Romans. There are rocks there that, history tells us, were stood on by a young Jesus. We had no idea we would see anything like that in Cairo. We dropped the Mohammed Ali Mosque and Citadel as we went there on a tour operated by our cruise ship, instead visiting the oldest mosque in Cairo. There, Ahmed explained a bit of the history of Islam and its beliefs. It was a very peaceful place, and we learned a great deal. Last we visited the Khan el-Khalili, a hectic market. We were looking for something specific, and Ahmed helped us find it. Kazem was always there on time and drove in the Cairo madness with great skill. I was asked to write a review, but I would have anyway as this tour should be on the list for everyone who visits Cairo and wants to learn from a passionate and competent guide. Thank you Heshem, Ahmed and Kazem. 5/5!
