First, our driver Mustafa was great. He arrived early, drove safely and was always in the correct location. However, our guide Raina was 20 minutes late, so we sat outside the gates doing nothing. She didn’t provide very many interesting facts, and unfortunately wasn’t proficient at English, as everything was repeated like 3-4 times which totally takes you out of the experience. She insisted on taking like 10 photos of us. So whenever we got to a location, we spent time taking photos for her. At one point we were just sitting in the back of the car and she was taking selfies, and demanded that

Mo Salah and Shady were the best. Both are knowledgeable and interesting. I enjoyed their sense of humor. Mo can drive! And Shady loves a challenging question. Thank you both for an unforgettable day.

The tour allows you to see the main attractions in Cairo regarding churches and mosques. The prepared guide provided simple and targeted information leaving time for photos. It didn't interact much and was a bit hasty at the market, but it was objectively very hot to enjoy the day to the full. Very attentive driver and guide in managing the logistics of the tour.
