The entire tour was fantastic and informative. Abo was our driver and guide, he fetched us from the hotel and had so much detail about every place we were at. Thanks to Abo for making the heat bearable and sharing awesome facts along the way. The market was great - bought way more stuff than I would like to admit - the deals were just that good. I highly recommend the tour. Thank you Abo!

Sayed met us at our hotel in the morning and our tour began with a stop at the Museum of Antiquities. Sayed walked us through the exhibit hall explaining the history behind each ancient artifact. He's a phenomenal guide!! Later we went to Coptic Cairo and visited all the ancient holy sites along with the old bazaar. This was an excellent tour with an exceptional guide. Thank you!!
