Our guide/driver was on time and even bought us a cuppa tea. He was very helpful al day and gave us lots of information. We got to see the citadel and the mosque which is well worth a visit and the hanging church. I would recommend this tour if you don’t have much time but would like to see some more of Cairo. Be aware the traffic is manic but our driver was very good.

Mira is very knowledgeable and gave a thorough explanation, she was attentive and friendly. The tour itself was shorter than 4 h, more like 2.5 but covered all the points, so all good.

La guía pasma fue lo mejor de todo muy atenta en todo momento, lo mejor de todo es que ella habla español así que no fue nada difícil la comunicación, a demás de ello el tour fue en un coche con aire acondicionado haciendo que la experiencia sea mucho más agradable, sin duda volvería a Egipto y volvería a reservar aquí.

I had an amazing time by myself going to the Muhammad Ali Mosque which was so beautiful, the Christian Coptic church where Jesus and the holy family hid & did some shopping. Yasser did an amazing job with information, knowing Egyptian history and I felt safe and enjoyed my entire time! Definitely recommend
