Fabulous day in Old Cairo! - This was a great tour for our last full day in Cairo! Our driver was very skilled navigating the congestion on Cairo streets and our guide was very personable and knowledgable. We covered quite a bit of ground with multiple mosques and churches, along with the citadel. It was interesting to hear the history and see the amazing craftsmanship at each site. Thank you for a great day!

Quick but interesting overview of religious Cairo - If you are strapped for time and want to see Coptic Cairo and several of the main Islamic historical sites (as well as the city’s old synagogue where a copy of the Torah remains) this is a great private tour to take. The citadel and the mosque whose name I forgot with four different sections (in tribute to the four main schools of Islamic thought) were my personal favourites but all the sites we saw were fascinating.
Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable (eg when explaining about the resting place of Egypt’s last king); he and the driver Muhammad were punctual and courteous. Sam also does a great job of diplomatically steering away over-enthusiastic young locals approaching us for photos!
