Wonderful tour through Cairo!
JenBohle, Oct 2023
Our favorite tour of the trip! Absolutely wonderful day with our guide, Rania. She is a total professional. The tour through Cairo was thorough but not overwhelming and we were impressed by her knowledge of everything. She is scholarly but makes the information accessible and understandable, so that our 9-year old was also engaged and following along. Rania is a wealth of information about the various exhibits at the Egyptian Museum and showed us all the highlights with in -depth and serious explanations. We saw so many things throughout the day --- the citadel, the Nile by boat, Coptic Cairo, just street scenery's, and our guide explained everything along the way and took our questions seriously. What we enjoyed the most about this tour, though, was our guide's warmth and willingness to answers all of our questions about modern Egyptian society, food --- everything. Furthermore, I appreciate her honesty and that there were no factory tours or trying to get us to buy things from shops. The felucca ride was wonderful and lunch at a local cafe was highly enjoyable. We loved eating local food. We wholeheartedly recommend Rania as a guide and we loved this tour!
Amazing walk and talk!

Fatima certainly transformed the experience into something incredible. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious! She always has good insight from all the spots. The lunch break was an amazing surprise. Would definitely recommend and return.
Self tour
Diana_G, Dec 2022
This felt more like a self guided tour. Guide did not provide any information about the places he took us to. He did not even bother to ask us if we had any questions. My companion was older and he walked slow so the guide left us behind and the would looked at us bad. I will not recommend this tour to anyone based on our experience with this specific guide. Maybe he was having a bad day…
Amazing day!

I dont have enough words to say what an amazing day we had. It was truly unforgetable. The museum was extraordinary, the felucca ride was so much fun, the sightseeing was interesting, and inmersing ourselves in the shouk to shop, haggle (as expected) and laugh, was the best way to end the day. Manar, our guide, is so knowledgeable, very attentive, and overall, a great person. So was our driver, Pazim. We lucked out with this tour and guides. Highly recommended.
