First of all, the driver and car service was excellent. The guide was nice and she did her best to answer our questions. The problem came when we she wanted to cut the tour short by not going to the market. Finally we pushed to go and she accepted.

It'd be much more better to c
Enjoyed seeing the beautiful mosques and more modest Christian churches and the synagogue. Our guide provided so much information we leaned much about the religious history of Cairo.
Excellent tour. Good tour guide. Clean and comfortable transportation. Everything went Emma and as we expected. Recommend without any reservations.
