Incredible Fun - Without a doubt the most fun you could have in Egypt! Being two foreign women we were apprehensive about finding a local guide - Salma from Egypt Discovery Tours was absolutely incredible!
Salma’s knowledge of both Old & New Cairo and its cultural history is vast and fascinating. She went above and beyond in helping us to find the things we were looking for: taking us to shops that sold local Egyptian made goods and to places that taught us about the products they were selling; we saw papyrus being made, smelled spices and teas, had a relaxing tea/coffee break, and the Koshary lunch was absolutely delicious (with the most fun waitstaff).
I apologize for not remembering his name, but our driver was also one of a kind. He was so fluid and capable in driving through the, often chaotic, downtown streets. He was cautious of all traffic patterns, pedestrians, other drivers and got us to and from all points without any worry.
You will not regret booking this tour - I cannot say enough good things!

Wonderful Tour Experience in Old Cairo - I recently joined a guided tour with Abdu and Mohammed our driver through Old Cairo that included the Khan Elkhalili Bazaar, Moez Street, Azhar area, an exciting market adventure, and a relaxing Nile Feluca ride. I want to share how much I appreciated this wonderful experience. The guide was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the rich history of Old Cairo come alive. I am truly grateful for this experience. It exceeded my expectations and left me with a newfound appreciation for Cairo’s history and hospitality. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the heart of old Cairo with an exceptional guide!

An Unforgettable Cairo Experience! - I am so happy that I used my limited time in Cairo to go on such an incredible tour such as this. Spending the afternoon in evening in Old Cairo in the Elkhalili Bazaar and stopping by sights such as the Al-Azhar Mosque and ending on the Nile with a Felucca ride provide such an authentic experience. I was so fortunate to have Abdu as a tour guide as he was so kind and knowledgable throughout the tour. Despite Cairo having a reputation of sometimes being chaotic and intense/overwhelming, this tour felt exactly the opposite. Everything was also so well organised and seamlessly planned which provided an incredible experience. I cannot wait to return to Cairo again after this!

Find the real magic in Khan el khalili - Since I was a child I have visited Khan el Khalili with my family, but this tour gave us a special insight in the beautiful history of this old bazar and the important and amazing history of the surrounding mosques. You will discover hidden architectural gems you would not easily see without Abdu as your guide. Abdu speaks perfect English and will help you find shops with items made by real artists of good quality. From drinking Turkish coffee at an old coffee shop to finding authentic Egyptian perfume and more. I will always be grateful for the great memories made during this tour and recommend this tour to everyone!

Old Cairo Tour With Abdu - Abdu and the driver were punctual when picking me up from my hotel. The vehicle was in great condition and very comfortable. The tour itself was amazing as I booked it for a 7pm start. Perfect conditions to meander the lovely old streets and bazaar. Excellent. Thank you Abdu.

Amazing Time in Old Cairo and Khan el Khalili, Beutiful Feluca experience on the Nile - i had a lot of interest in history and this tour was perfect for that. Abdu was my tour guide and he has an extensive knowledge even down to the exact years of certain historic era. he's very patient with me and my questions and my stopping every once in a while to take pictures of Old Cairo. i had a good time drinking coffee in the Khan El Khalili bazaar while looking at the grand architecture, and enjoying the Feluca ride on the Nile. Abdu is respectful and professional throughout the tour, and as a woman traveling around i feel safe around him and the driver Mahmoud.

Excellent evening tour - Abdu was an excellent and very informative guide, I really enjoyed chatting with him. I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for something to do in Cairo in the evening. The area around the market/Moez Street is surprisingly lively at night.

Ayat gave us a true Cairo native tour - Ayat was truly knowledgeable throughout the tour. She brought us for tea to start, followed by a few good picture locations, and gave a us a true feel of walking through the streets of Cairo. It was quite busy as it was a Friday but it really gave us a feel to be living in the city. Ayat was very accommodating to any of our needs or wants out of the tour. We finished the day with a felucca ride as part of our package and a sweet sugarcane drink to end it all.
