Overview

Without a guide to shoo away the street hustlers, downtown Cairo can be an oppressive experience. Discover the city at its best on this private door-to-door adventure to Old Cairo. First, immerse in Cairo’s multicultural heritage at the ancient Hanging Church, the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue. Next, explore its medieval Islamic glories at the Citadel of Saladin and the Alabaster Mosque.

It was a first time private tour experience- unexpected. Very short tour less than 3.5 hrs including visiting a store. We usually don't shopping during the tour. I was sorry for buying nothing when visiting a store. Also very uncomfortable with this trip.

Unfortunately, the service provider didn't show up and we lost some precious time during our last hours in Cairo. I've tried to get in touch by phone call, WhatsApp, and Viator message and no one replied. One hour later the guide started sending messages trying to book for later in the same day. At least they were fast to refund the booking payment and once I stopped replying to them, they apologised for their mistake.

The first part of the tour was very good, interesting. The guide was friendly and nice. But the second part, Old Cairo was not very good, to crowded, and the lunch was terrible, the place was cheap, not clean, didn’t have a restroom. We barely touch the food.

We were picked up to the minute at the appointed time by our driver Kazem. Afterwards we had an informative guided tour with our guide Selvia. She was very friendly, patiently answered our questions and allowed us time to explore the individual spots ourselves. However, it definitely takes more time to see Islamic Cairo/Old Town in addition to Muhammad Ali Mosque, Coptic Quarter and Bazaar Chan el-Chalili.
