Great shopping experience - The tour company was quite flexible to change our dates when another tour with a different company got cancelled last minute. Our guide spoke excellent English and took care of us during our market tour ensuring we felt comfortable the entire time.

Grand Bazaar - Had a great time with my wife going to the Bazaar. It was a great experience where we saw a lot and learned a lot from our guide Hareem. He was a great guide and was kind, full of energy and was an expert in Egyptology We enjoyed watching papyrus paper being made and checking out local essential oils and perfumes. The driver was also really great. Really liked the Bazaar and had a great experience.

Amazing Cairo Experience – A Must-Do! - This tour was the highlight of our time in Cairo! From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and fun. Our driver was on time and friendly, and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire market come to life with history and stories. We got to explore Khan El-Khalili without feeling rushed, and the shopping was so much easier with a local helping us find quality items and fair prices. The lunch was delicious and authentic – we even got to sit down and relax at a beautiful spot after all the walking. Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Cairo who wants a real taste of the culture, food, and local life. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Old Cairo at It's Best - Treasure Hunting, Food and Sailing, a Perfect Combination - Great day exploring Old Cairo! Walking along Moezz Street felt like stepping back in time, surrounded by stunning Islamic architecture and vibrant local life. Every corner was bursting with history and color. We wandered through the famous Khan Al Khalili bazaar, where the colors, smells and scenery were simply electric. The narrow lanes were packed with beautiful handicrafts, jewelry, souvenirs. and unique treasures. For lunch, we enjoyed the local favorite kosher. Experiencing the spice, oil, and cotton shops, were a real treat. To top it all off, we took a relaxing felucca ride on the Nile. Gliding along the river under a shaded canopy was a nice respite from the busy city. Old Cairo offers a perfect blend of history, culture, shopping, and relaxation. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cairo!

Ask for Karim - Kareem was a very energetic and informative host. He helped us negotiate when purchasing gifts at the market. I would highly recommend this fast paced, customized tour with Karim!

Wish We Had More Time at the Market! - The VIP guided tour was a smooth and enjoyable way to explore Cairo! The highlight for me was visiting Khan El-Khalili Market—it was colorful, full of life, and filled with unique shops and local treasures. I do wish we had more time to explore the market on our own—it felt a little rushed and I could’ve easily spent an hour or two just wandering, shopping, and soaking in the vibe. Lunch was included and the food was delicious—authentic, flavorful, and a nice break in the middle of the day.

Repugnant - All we wanted was to know the old market, and that was the least we did. We paid $100 for the tour with guide and lunch. Most of the time it took us to clothing, papyrus and jewelry stores, which surely earn commission. When we finally arrived at the old market, we didn't even know 3 streets of it and we already left. The “lunch” was the worst thing I’ve experienced in the whole trip, a mixture of rice, pasta, crisp onion, tomato sauce and something unidentified. I recommend picking up an Uber who wants to get to know the old market, much cheaper and profitable.
