Well-organized, informative and comfortable half-day Tour - Ahmed showed me around Islamic and Coptic Cairo, Sprinkled the Tour with Lots of Info and made sure the Tour was smooth without waiting times, a car with AC (well appreciated in August). As solo traveler Woman I felt guarded well and comfortable throughout the half-day tour. I warmly recommend a Guided Tour with Ahmed.
