A great insight in the Islamic history of Cairo. Nahed an excellent and informative guide. a good walk through Mosques and markets
Rania Mostafa was an amazing guide! Put your was really close to Ramadan which impacted our travel to and from, but Rania totally made up for it. She was so hospitable and knowledgeable!
Wonderful 3 hour tour. Our guide, Randa, was fantastic. She made the day fun, educational, and enjoyable. Well worth the money to see Old Cairo.
It was the highlight of our Cairo trip! Abduo was the best guide you could wish for. Looking around the architecture of old Cairo with a knowledgable guide was amazing. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore the city with local knowledge.
