The tour states private tour, but it's not. There was no tour guide, despite the fact that I specifically requested & checked that a tour guide would be with me & the tour company confirmed "yes". They mislead me, & I was on my own. However I did have a driver, Ali, who was absolutely AMAZING. He kept me safe & ensured my safety. So if you want a driver for the day, book Ali.
My guide Hamed is cared and respect customer' s request. We requested to drop us to the train station and took us there. He really cared about us, he escorted us to the train station and made sure everything goes well. I really appreciate it what he have done for us. Thank you so much Hamed.
Tour started with bad experience as they didn’t contact to us until last minute and we were one who reached them. Our tour guide Rasha was great and knowledgeable and our driver was nice. Quick way to get to know around Cairo.
I used this tour the second day I was here and Zaresha (so sorry if I butchered her name) was a great guide who I felt like I could have a laugh with and answered many questions I had about the various sites visited. I had a great time visiting the Citadel and Coptic Cairo, and really enjoyed making my wish at one of the Churches. I felt really comfortable throughout the whole time there and she was happy to take as many photos as I liked and allowed to spend some time taking my own photos as well. Things I noted were: 1) that the tour was shorter than I expected. It didn’t not actually take m
This was a terrific tour. My guide, Rana, is extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture, her English is impeccable, and best of all, she's a delightful person. The driver (I'm sorry I forgot his name!) was extremely adept, and I felt safe at all times (a small miracle considering Cairo traffic!). I would certainly book with the company again as it was a terrific itinerary and a great overview of the city if you have limited time.
Knowledgeable guide and good driver. Last minute booking and they assisted us well. Some places close earlier on a Saturday, beter to investigate weekend days plans prior to booking
