A fascinating walk in Chaotic Cairo - We really enjoyed walking around Cairo with our kind, helpful and informative guide. He showed us some very interesting places, we went inside a mosque, as well as visiting the bazaar. He was very kind and helped us with our shopping. He accommodated all our needs. If you wish to visit this Islamic part of Cairo as well as the Bazaar this walking tour is an excellent choice. I would recommend.

Great Experience! - Great experience! Came out of this tour learning a lot about the more recent history of Cairo. Our guide, Hazem, was very helpful if navigating Khan el Khalili and gave us some great recommendations for hookah bars and souvenir shops.

Awesome trip, totally worth it! - Hazeem was the best tour guide ! He’s knowledgeable and easy to get along with, but our favorite part is that he wants you to really have an authentic experience. We had an amazing time visit the mosque. Hazeem helped me with covering my head properly to observe the custom. He took us to the famous Elfishawy coffee shop in Khan El Khalili , treated us to tea and sweets, had a band play for us. It was an incredible experience. Unfortunately we had to shorten it due to me being sick, but Hazeem made sure we had an amazing time regardless. I highly recommend this tour as well as our friend Hazeem!!

Highly recommend Tarek! - We had an amazing experience touring Khan El Khalili and taking a day trip to Alexandria with Tarek as our guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and he brought both destinations to life with fascinating history and local insight. At Khan El Khalili, he guided us through areas we never would have found on our own and made the experience feel relaxed and authentic, never rushed. The Alexandria day trip was perfectly organized, with a smooth drive, great pacing despite some unforeseen set backs and thoughtful attention to our comfort throughout the day. We would highly recommend Tarek to anyone visiting Egypt.

Be prepared to walk on... - Be prepared to walk on uneven stone surfaces and slippery at times. If you already have an idea of what you are looking for it might be easier to shop. Your guide can help you to find bargains.
