Very good tour - Very nice tour of Sala El-Din, Coptic Cairo, and souk. Shymaa was a great tour guide. We saw very beautiful parts of Cairo! Panoramic view from Sala El-Din is a highlight.

Great Way to Explore Cairo’s History! - We had an amazing time touring around the Islamic Cairo, Coptic Cairo, and Khan el-Khalili! Our guide, Ehab, was wonderful — very kind, knowledgeable, and always willing to help us with anything we needed. We learned so much about the history and culture of these incredible places, and he made everything easy to understand and enjoyable. He took good pictures too! A big thank-you as well to our driver, Hesman, for his excellent driving and keeping the car clean and comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommend this tour!

1/2 day Cairo - This is a good tour if you want to see major attractions of Cairo except for pyramids in a short time. My guide/driver took me to a Coptic church, a mosque, and the Alladin citadle as promised in the description box of the tour. The car was new and he drove responsibly. He explained everything throughly that I wanted to know. I am happy I chose this tour. Other Cairo tours I did was not as satisfactory as this one. Their cars were old and drivers drove recklessly.

Coptic and Islamic Cairo - Dina was a great guide, fun and knowledgeable. We were picked up on time from our hotel and expertly driven through the crazy Cairo traffic. Highlights were Garbage City which has to be seen to be believed as vans mountainous with rubbish navigate the dark canyon-like streets, the huge church freshly carved out of a rock face, not to mention the crypt where an infant Jesus may have slept with his family. Beautifully ornate interiors, both Coptic and Islamic, spanned 1,500 years. Recommend.

Islamic and Coptic Cairo - Excellent tour with our great driver and knowledgeable Doaa (guide) learning about Islamic, Christian Cairo and the overlaps in these religions. Also a pleasant walk around the market and the more peaceful downtown areas.
