We had a great time exploring Cairo with Muhammad. He explained a lot about what we saw and experienced during the tour. I definitely recommend this tour as it gives you an insight in both history and religion in Egypt.

Our guide Emi was fun and witty, very accomodating, good information on the locations we visited. Bit to much on the nose PoS visits to papyrus and jewelry factory.

Ali was exceptionally knowledgeable and eager to share his country’s rich history. Ali and his driver provided exceptional service. Thank you!

Superb visits with good explanations and an Egyptologist guide Ali who knows a lot about the country and archeology

Egyptian museum, I would have added a visit to the citadel and not just the mosque
