Great introduction to Cairo
Out guide Ehab was knowledgeable and so kind. He helped us understand Cairo’s history and made us feel welcome. And our driver Maged got us safely through Cairo traffic with a smile.

Great tour!
Ehab gave us the best tour experience. Very knowledgeable and let us have time to explore on our own after giving us the history explanation.
The driver Shadi was awesome too. He also told us facts about Egypt as he drove us.
It was a smooth experience from start to finish!

Great tour!
The tour of Old Cairo was great! My guide Sandy was very knowledgeable and took me through the various Coptic Churches until the final Alabaster Mosque. I would highly reccommend to anyone

Horrible experience, never again
Update: I am posting this review for a second time because my original review was dismissed by the tour operator, who claimed I had not booked with them and implied my experience was not genuine, while also pointing to their many positive reviews. However, that does not change what I personally experienced. To avoid any doubt, I have attached my Expedia booking confirmation and a screenshot of the WhatsApp conversation in which they themselves sent me the TripAdvisor review link. I am simply sharing my genuine experience so future travelers can make an informed decision.
Here is my experience:
I was very disappointed with this experience because it was significantly different from what was advertised. My pickup was scheduled for 1:30 p.m., but the driver arrived around 2:00 p.m. due to traffic. Unfortunately, the tour was not extended to compensate for the delay. Instead of the advertised 4-hour tour, I was dropped back at my hotel around 5:00 p.m., with the sightseeing portion lasting only about 2.5 hours.
The itinerary stated approximately one hour at each major site, but we spent less than 40 minutes at each location and were rushed throughout the tour. I barely had enough time to appreciate the sites or take photos.
The listing also advertised an “all-inclusive” option with included tickets. In reality, only one paid entrance ticket was included, while the other sites were free to access. This was one of the reasons I chose this more expensive tour over cheaper alternatives.
The private vehicle was simply a basic economy car, not the comfortable private transportation I expected from the listing.
The only reason I am not giving one star is because the guide was excellent. She was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely tried to improve the experience after I explained my concerns. My complaint is with the tour operator and the misleading description, not with her. I would not book this tour again unless the itinerary and duration are accurately represented.

Fantastic Tour!
We had a really fantastic time on this tour. Our tour guide, Bisho, was absolutely amazing and was so knowledgable. He was kind and gave us all the time we needed to do each thing- there was no rush at all. Our tour started off by going to visit two different churches which were beautiful in Coptic Cairo. We then went to Commercial Street to learn more about the Egyptian oils, spices, cotton and papyrus. This was then all topped off by going to see Citadel and Mohammed Ali Mosque. Honestly a breath taking experience! Finally we went to a market place. Would definitely recommend booking this tour!

Ottimo tour!
Siamo riusciti a vedere molte cose in 4 ore durante il nostro tour della Vecchia Cairo, della Cittadella e del souk. La nostra guida, Ahmed, ha spiegato a fondo il significato storico dei luoghi che abbiamo visitato e ha aggiunto molti aneddoti interessanti! Un ottimo modo per conoscere la storia del Cairo!

Un viaggio affascinante attraverso la ricca storia del Cairo
Abbiamo fatto un ottimo tour del Cairo storico e lo consigliamo vivamente. Il nostro autista, Maged, è stato professionale, cortese e ha reso gli spostamenti nella città trafficata semplici. La nostra guida, Ahmed, è stata eccezionale. La sua conoscenza della storia, della religione e della cultura dell'Egitto era davvero impressionante e ha dato vita a ogni tappa con storie e contesti affascinanti.
Visitare le chiese, la storica sinagoga, le magnifiche moschee e il famoso mercato ci ha dato una comprensione molto più profonda della ricca storia del Cairo e delle diverse influenze religiose e culturali che hanno plasmato la città nel corso di migliaia di anni. La passione di Ahmed nel condividere quella storia ha reso l'esperienza incredibilmente educativa oltre che piacevole.
Anche Ahmed è stato molto disponibile, assicurandosi che avessimo tempo per foto, domande e qualsiasi altra cosa di cui avessimo bisogno durante la giornata, mentre Maged ha fatto in modo che viaggiassimo comodamente e in sicurezza tra una tappa e l'altra.
Questo tour è stato un modo meraviglioso per scoprire un lato diverso del Cairo oltre alle piramidi. Siamo partiti con un apprezzamento molto maggiore per l'incredibile storia e cultura della città. Grazie ad Ahmed e Maged per aver reso questa esperienza così piacevole e memorabile!
