Great Experience - Youssef was a wonderful tour guide. We loved all the temples that we visited along with two churches and a synagogue, because we had the time, and they were close by. Youssef was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the faiths, different from ours, and about the history of each of the places we visited. He even helped me find a couple of items on my shopping list. I highly recommend this tour!

FANTASTIC MOSQUES TOUR AND AWESOME GUIDE - What a wonderful morning I had touring the various mosques around Cairo. It was a truly beautiful, spiritual, and calming tour and I greatly appreciated the opportunity to tour inside and outside some of the mosques in downtown Cairo. My guide, Mahmoud Afifi, was simply terrific. he was prompt, courteous, and super knowledgeable. I learned a great deal about each mosque and Islam, too. Mahmoud even explained and demonstrated the rituals of prayer and history associated with the mosques, and it was quite beautiful. In addition, Mahmoud is a great photographer--and you can see how good he is from the photos attached to my review. I highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Egypt for the first time to gain greater insight into the art, architecture, and Islam.

Wasn't As Expected - I was really excited for this tour, our first time in Cairo. Unfortunately we didn't enjoy our guide. He seemed to be talking from a script instead of talking to us. It didn't appear that he was enjoying himself, rushing us at times and seemed forced to take photos. Almost like he was annoyed. We ended the tour early, only visiting 2 of the 6 mosques.
