Super Duo - Our guide Ehab and Maged the driver gave us a very thorough tour of the city and showed us places we would never find by ourselves. We had a lot of laughs and learned a lot. I liked the fact that these guys were full of optimism and good vibes.

Private Tour with a Knowledgeable Guide - Fantastic private tour with Kyrllos Eskander. We started with the Fortress of Saladin and the Alabaster Mosque. Next we had a little time to see how quality local products such as scents, papyrus and cartouches were made and to get a feel for souvenirs. Finally we headed to the Coptic Quarter where we saw the Hanging Church and had lunch of typical Egyptian food. Kyrllos was very knowledgeable and a very nice young man. He had written two books, including one one the NMEC Museum. I would highly recommend.

Egypt and BisHoo- perfect together! - BisHoo, an Egyptologist, was our guide to the Coptic area, The Egyptian Museum and the marketplace. He was very informative, easy to understand and a pleasant gentleman. We received an education in everything Egyptian. I would definitely recommend BisHoo and this excursion.

A very enjoyable tour - Really enjoyed the tour with Doaa as my guide. She was informative, fun, fast, and engaging. She was very kind and flexible to my needs. Got good insights about Ramadan as well. The driver I forgot his name but ge was very sweet. He let me borrow his phone charge the whole time. Thank you! Would recommend this tour.

Good but they didn’t take us to the souk as promised - It’s good but obviously not as good as visiting the pyramids and the GEM. Informative and gave a greater understanding of the religions that exist in Egypt. Our tour guide was really nice as was our driver. Issue was we were looking forward to visiting the souk Khan el-Khalili but instead were taken to four neighbouring shops where the retailers did their best to sell us their wares (cotton clothing, papyrus, spices and perfume). Very unimpressed as it meant we completely missed the souk dispute it being in the description title and the itinerary. It was one of the main reasons we booked.

We booked a tour through... - We booked a tour through Viator in Cairo. The tour operator ‘ Hesham Egypt tour’ was the worst experience we had. They only provided half the tour and requested pick up and drop off charges even though it was supposed to free in the Viator app. The car was in very poor condition and driver was careless. Reported to Viator, but they didn’t help either.
