An amazing time in Cairo - Mohammed is friendly and knowledgeable and has a way of framing historical context. You’re in good hands with Mohammed. Be sure to bring some small Egyptian pounds (50s) for the toilet.

Coptic Cairo - We had a great day exploring the old Cairo with our guide Shima. She was so knowledgeable and full of interesting stories that we enjoyed every minute with her. She explained everything so well and we would definitely recommend this tour.

Islamic Tour - Ishaq was a great guide and explained the history of each place really well. I was really impressed by the Muhammad Ali mosque in particular. We were able to take our time and never felt rushed. Overall, a great day.

If you want to get the... - If you want to get the best from Cairo in one day, this is the tour to go for! Our guide Amira was excellent! She’s an Egyptologist and was very knowledgable. She was one of the best guides we had during our time in Egypt and would recommend the tour with her to everyone. Our driver Mohammed was very good and polite as well. He came about 15 minutes before the scheduled time and drove us safely through the crazy traffic in Cairo and back to our hotel in Giza. We booked just Car and Guide and there were no problems with buying the tickets on-site. Even in high season there were no queues and you can pay by card everywhere, except the 50E£ car fee to the Citadel.

Excellent experience,... - Excellent experience, our guide had extensive knowledge, a very patient person who understands that travelers can easily be distracted by how fascinating Coptic Cairo is. I recommend the tour operator, very responsible.

Recommended. Tour lasted shorter than planned - Very knowledgeable guide who speaks good German and is a retired professor. However, we needed less time than stated despite extensive viewing. Other sightseeing locations as part of the tour would be possible. Unfortunately, however, due to Ramadan, many things closed 2 hours earlier than usual, so we could not have visited many things until the stated end time.

Very Disappointing Experience - Personally, I found this experience underwhelming. The sites were okay but not properly maintained. This was promoted as an “ all day tour” but mine lasted just about 3 hours and I was back at my hotel. I guess the fact that I declined any side trips to vendors explains the difference between the advertised duration of the tour and my experience. Not too happy with the tour provider. The company did not communicate b with me to confirm the pickup time. When the guide arrived to pick me up, he spent about 15 minutes trying to get money from the ATM at my hotel. My trip included “bottle water” but none was offered until I asked for it. In response, my guide said he would provide that “later” but the driver came to the rescue and gave me a bottle of water. Upon arriving at the first site ( Muhammad Ali’s mosque, my guide said to me: “ I know you paid for the entry fee with your booking, but I don’t have cash to pay for the ticket; would you pay and I’ll give you back the money.” Of course, I refused to do so. I guess he found a way to get the ticket. I got the feeling of being hustled. Also, at the same site, I went to the ladies room with a sign that says: “no tipping required but highly appreciated.” The ladies at the entrance insisted I give a tip before going into the bathroom. All these made my tour experience not so pleasant.

Bad experience! - Very poor guide who was inexperienced, spoke unintelligible English and very quiet. Didn't bother for nothing. Rude, didn't get out of car if we gave her money....for work that was insufficient!! Luckily we were able to catch something from another guide here and there. This is not the intention for more than 100 euros.
