A lovely half-day in Central Cairo - Rafat is a great driver and took me safely to the different spots of the Cairo tour. He also gave me information on sights we met on the way.

Great experience! - We booked a tour with a driver not with a guide and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. Our driver Shadi was kind, knowledgeable, and very accommodating throughout the day. He had a good sense of humour and shared useful tips about local customs and behaviour. Overall, we had a very enjoyable day and appreciated his professionalism.

Recommended! - Ehab was a great guide. Patient and explained well the difference between the Christian and Muslim parts of Egypt. Mahmoud was a friendly driver who took everything into account when you asked for something. We were travelling with a child of 4.

An interesting short tour - An interesting few hours exploring a different side of Cairo. Our guide was knowledgeable & friendly, we had a great time. There is some persuasion to visit certain shops at the end of the tour which we would have preferred not to do, but we understand the arrangement between tours & these shops so sucked it up by agreeing to visit one

Avoid, rather take care of yourself - Deplorable experience: driver or "pseudo guide" only doing it at his head: leading us to places where a commission could be due to him: perfumery, museum of the papyrus, restaurant ... when starting this bad misadventure, we realized that there was no point in passing through these platforms and that it was better to plan his trips by taking taxis or uber. Really disappointed but ultimately allowed us to better manage our business afterwards.
