We spent a lovely informative half day touring Khan Elkhalili and Islamic Cairo with Hamada and his wife. Unfortunately my wife was not feeling so well so we had to skip eating out, however, we stopped at a small cafe in the centre of Khan Elkhalili to enjoy coffee, green tea and soak up the amazing atmosphere.

We booked an evening/night tour and Mina was our guide. We loved his mix of information, humor and good spirits. The night grew busy and festive as people broke their fast for Ramadan and we made our way through the architecture that came alive with Mina's storytelling. Excellent falafel and coffee finished our evening. Thank you Mina for a wonderful tour and Ahmed for your skillful driving in the chaotic Cairo traffic!

Egypt Fun Tours never showed up for a pick up and did not answer their customer service contact numbers and emails. This is despite booking and confirming the location pick up. Got a refund from Viator but nothing from the company - not even an apology.

A super fun-filled with Muhammed as our guide. This unique experience was simply the highlight of our Cairo stopover! The included lunch was simply delicious and way too much food. Quadbiking around the pyramids, a must do on your bucket list. I highly recommend this tour company, tour guide and tour option.

We saw all the best sights while having a very authentic experience of Cairo. Our guide, Hamada, has a wealth of knowledge and experience which made our day exciting and memorable. One of the highlights was a falafel meal at a restaurant popular with locals. I cannot recommend Hamada and his tours highly enough. Thank you for an amazing time!
