Old Cairo Tour With Abdu - Abdu and the driver were punctual when picking me up from my hotel. The vehicle was in great condition and very comfortable. The tour itself was amazing as I booked it for a 7pm start. Perfect conditions to meander the lovely old streets and bazaar. Excellent. Thank you Abdu.

Amazing Time in Old Cairo and Khan el Khalili, Beutiful Feluca experience on the Nile - i had a lot of interest in history and this tour was perfect for that. Abdu was my tour guide and he has an extensive knowledge even down to the exact years of certain historic era. he's very patient with me and my questions and my stopping every once in a while to take pictures of Old Cairo. i had a good time drinking coffee in the Khan El Khalili bazaar while looking at the grand architecture, and enjoying the Feluca ride on the Nile. Abdu is respectful and professional throughout the tour, and as a woman traveling around i feel safe around him and the driver Mahmoud.

Excellent evening tour - Abdu was an excellent and very informative guide, I really enjoyed chatting with him. I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for something to do in Cairo in the evening. The area around the market/Moez Street is surprisingly lively at night.

Ayat gave us a true Cairo native tour - Ayat was truly knowledgeable throughout the tour. She brought us for tea to start, followed by a few good picture locations, and gave a us a true feel of walking through the streets of Cairo. It was quite busy as it was a Friday but it really gave us a feel to be living in the city. Ayat was very accommodating to any of our needs or wants out of the tour. We finished the day with a felucca ride as part of our package and a sweet sugarcane drink to end it all.

An evening we will never forget - An absolutely perfect evening! We wanted to do the tour during the evening and booked for 19:00 - but the team thoughtfully pointed out that if we wanted time in the mosque we should leave a bit earlier. Our guide Ayat was incredible - she kept us entertained and engaged with stories and information about everything we saw, ensured that we visited everything we were interested in and was such wonderful company all evening. After the mosque, she took us to an old book binder and then on to the market for coffee, shopping and people watching. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt like we were with an old friend. Such an amazing evening to remember forever. Thank you!!! 🙏

Exceptional Experience with Abdu and His Driver Abdu! -
From the very first hours of our trip to Cairo, Abdu and his driver Abdu were incredibly helpful. They took us to a beautiful mosque and then to the famous Al-Khalili market, where we enjoyed coffee at the best spot in the area.
They also took us to an amazing restaurant where we had the chance to try authentic local cuisine from Cairo—it was truly a highlight of our trip!
Abdu knows the city inside out, including its rich history, making our experience both seamless and enriching. The driver was also excellent—professional and reliable—ensuring that we never felt any discomfort or inconvenience.
Everything was perfect, and we highly recommend their services without hesitation!

Great guide, excellent tour - My guide Abdu was extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand (his English is almost perfect). He tailored the tour to my request -- I didn't want to spend much time at the market so we breezed through it quickly. I felt protected yet not restricted. Highly recommended.
