An unforgettable experience - The programes were well organized, interesting and the food we had during the trip was delicious. But our tour guide Amr made it not only interesting, but unforgetable. He has so much knowledge about history and even more fascinating stories to tell. Trust me, if you want to know everything about Egyptian culture, Amr will honestly and happily explain everything to you. I have learned more about what life really is about in Egypt, thanks to him, than ever before. And I believe this is invaluable. Also Amr even made my mother enjoy and laugh throughout the whole trip, even though she barely speaks any english, because Amr is always so energetic, funny and friendly with everyone. He tried everything he could for us, it honestly felt like he was a part of our family, he even helped us negotiate with the locals and showed us places otherwise we would have never seen. So I can't express with words how grateful I'm for our wonderful journey, so in the name of my entire family, thank you for everything Amr.

The rich history of the Coptic and Islamic Cairo. - This morning Amir greeted me and introduced his driver punctually. Amir described the history of the Coptics, then pointed out particular details about the church and location. Then we proceeded to the Islamic history followed by the of the citadel characteristics. After we took a stroll through Khan Khali bazaars. Then concluded with a sailboat on a Feloucca on the Nile river. Amir suggested visits to an apothecary and a leather shop to which I agreed to. Both vendors described their wares and I was under a no obligation to buy. Then I had a sandwich to conclude the day. All in all Amir’s style of delivery was easy to understand. He was a warm guy. So I would recommend him to anyone interested in the rich history of Cairo.
Why not him him a try?

10/10 recommend, beautiful tour - I highly recommend this tour! Best value out of all the tours I researched, My guide called Shady who was also an Egyptologist was very knowledgeable and took great care of me! You can see he loves his work and he will not try to bring you to buy things like what can happen on some tours! He did give me the option and there was absolutely no pressure which was refreshing! Lunch was delicious in a very famous Egyptian restaurant and the boat ride was lovely! As a solo female or even travelling with kids I highly recommend this, you will be in good hands
