Very interesting and informative tour. I appreciate the guides suggestions for modifying the itinerary.
This was our fourth and last tour in Cairo and we chose to visit Coptic & Islamic Cairo. Just few minutes into the tour and we felt uncomfortable with our guide yet we continued with the tour. Our guide Isaac, had a very unprofessional approach and an ego issue which was clearly shown in the way he spoke and managed the tour which took away from the experience. As tourist, the least we expect from a guide is Kindness and to look out for us as we depend on them when booking such expensive tours. Compared to all other amazing Cairo outings we did, sadly this was the only underwhelming experience
Good day out with tasty buffet lunch. Knowledgeable guide and good driver. Recommended to see Coptic and Islamic sights in Cairo in relaxed atmosphere.
Did not see all the announced churches and only 1 mosque (the oldest in Cairo); which was likely due to the traffic in Cairo and our mobility. However, we are satisfied with the tour guide.
Super recommended! They were very punctual in the hotel pickup and our guide Hache did an incredible job, very attentive, explaining everything in detail, answering all our doubts and adapting the tour to all our proposals. We were delighted!
Hosem, la nostra guida, ha accompagnato me, mia mamma e mia sorella a visitare i luoghi di maggiore interesse del Cairo. È stata la migliore compagnia che potessimo chiedere perché, oltre ad averci descritto con cura tutte le particolarità storiche e culturali del Cairo copto, delle moschee, della cittadella e del mercato, ci ha rassicurate con la sua presenza discreta, consigliando come comportarci in contesti culturali differenti dal nostro contesto originario.
