Information excellent Hassan spoke perfect English. Answered all our questions about Old Cairo & other Egyptian queries. Very helpful. Guided us through the market to the historic areas with minimal haggling from the shop owners & they were always polite. Took us to a couple of government shops, where had local drinks & sampled/smelt the selection of teas & spices & saw garments made from Egyptian cotton . Good quality.

Hassan was INCREDIBLE!!! So knowledgeable and kind! I would ask for him by name because he’s just that amazing. If you want to see, learn, and experience Cairo with a top tier guide - Hassan. He shared the history of Cairo with vast information around religion and culture. I will never forget the day!

We had a wonderful private tour of old Cairo. Our guide Mahmoud Soliman picked us up at the hotel on time. All contact was on my WhatsApp which made for easy communication. He took us to the market and the hang church and mosque. Highly recommend him and this safe tour.
