It was the best day of my whole trip, I liked the program - it included 3 places and even a lunch buffet on a boat. My guide Mahmoud, with whom we could speak both Russian and English languages easily, is kind, cordial person and highly knowlegible historian. Please, send my big thanks and warmest regards to him - I really appreciate his attention to my or, would to any traveller, individual situation, needs and spiritual interests.

March 9th, 2024. Our guide was awesome! Super communicative and in a good mood (unfortunately I can’t remember his name). He seemed to know almost everyone around Cairo and we felt super at ease and safe with him, even at Al Khalili market which was packed with people. We started our day at the Egyptian Museum, where he explained the most important info about the Old and New Kingdoms, and the museum has some pieces that are just breathtaking. After that, we had lunch at a boat restaurant in the Nile and it was pretty good, it had lots of options because it was a buffet (drinks sold separately). After lunch, we headed straight to Al Khalili Market, followed by Old Cairo, Ben Ezra Sinagogue, The Hanging Church and a few more spots before coming back to the hotel. Worth mentioning that we were staying in Giza and the agency picks you up there, so it’s super convenient :)

Very fullfilling tour. In one day, we saw the highlights of Cairo without wasting time and on our own schedule. We chose an option of the driver assistance only and had a great time. He drove us around all places we wanted and gave some insights and directions. Sala was a great driver, very helpful and we enjoys his company. My recommendations are to take a 1 hour private guide at the museum to get a better understanding. You will see them around by the ticket booth and it cost just $20, money well spent. We also took a local guide at the Citadel for $10, which was also very interesting and helpful.

There is so much to see and our guide Omar did a fantastic job of catering our tour to exactly what we wanted to see. We saw all the highlights and couldn’t have had a better time! The mosques were breath taking. Coptic Cairo had lots to see and learn. The museum had an overwhelming amount of artifacts and our guide Omar took us to all the highlights and really gave us the most for the short amount of time we had! It’s the most fun I’ve seen my two teenage boys have on a tour!
