Unforgettable experience, amazing tours - I’ve had the privilege of being on tours in many different countries before. Youssef, our tour guide was the best I’ve ever had. He always went above what was expected, had great knowledge about the sites, was extremely friendly and very accommodating to personalise the tours due to our personal interests. I have already recommended him to my friends and family planning to visit Egypt in the future

An Amazing Day! - What an amazing day with Yousef! I felt comfortable, safe and happy all day. He is so knowledgeable about Cairo and so generous with his stories and laughter. He was on time for the hotel pickup and continued to be organized all day as we covered so many parts of the city. If you have time, don’t miss a tour with Yousef and Cecilia Tours! You will feel like you are a part of Cairo.

Great Tour ! - Me and my father did the tour to the coptic and islamic cairo with yousef and it was a great experience from beginning to end. Our guide, yousef was very nice and polite, you felt very comfortable with him. In addition, he is a knowledgeable guide, he told us the history, meaning, acquisition of each sight and always answered our questions.
He showed us the hanging church from inside and outside, St. George's church, Church of St Sergius and Bacchus also from inside. The Ibn-Tulun-Mosque, the bazar in Kairo. In the curches you have to wear the face mask but you can still enter them. Only the St. George’s church wasn‘t opened because of COVID 19. The Tour is very interesting and it is definetly worth it. The driver has driven us from place to place, so we could relax and talk in the car till we arrive to the next stop. Very cool.
We would surely recommend Youssef as a tourguide. We had a lot of fun and learned so much about Kairo !

Islamic Cairo and Nile Cruise - Mr Youssef the owner of Cecilia tours goes out of his way to make sure that you enjoy the tour and make the most of your trip. He gives you lots of advise and insights into the history of Egypt. He has an extremely wide knowledge. He took us to all the sights in Islamic Cairo and we did the Nile Dinner cruise as well. He kept giving us interesting tit bits. If anyone is visiting Cairo, I would definitely recommend using Yousseff.

Great tour company - My husband booked all our tours in cairo with Yusuf after hearing alot of good feedback from people we know who had used him.. And all we can say is that every single one of them was right.
Yusuf is an excellent tour guide who speaks good English and many more other languages too.
He was always early at pick ups.
Explained everything in great detail
Always spoke the truth and always helped in any way possible.
He was very patient with us when it came to our little boy needing to eat or nap
He and his driver made our touring so easy with our little boy and always kept us cool in that Cairo heat and always provided us with ice cold water.
Thank you Yusuf for our great tours and all your help!!

Great trip in Egypt - My wife and I went touring with him An had a great time. So when my sister and brother in law came to town we booked him again. He showed the 4 of us to all the places we wanted to go An more . On our tour he told us wonderful stories of Egypt, we not only learn a lot but we also had a few laughs. I can’t wait to get back to tour in Egypt. He will be the first person I call. He not only a great tour guide, I see him as a good friend.
