2 options 1. Egyptian products or 2 Chinese products. Was very interesting negotiating process. But overall a very informative and enjoyable afternoon. Ahmed was great.

We enjoyed our tour. Aladdin was friendly and can speak English very well. The only minor suggestion is for him to spend more time on describing each experience. For instance, while we enjoyed sipping on Egyptian tea, we would have liked to learn more about the tea that we were drinking. We also would have liked to hear more about the mosques.
Great day!

Tito was a very gracious host. I enjoyed the great shopping opportunities and a chance to learn about the Egyptian culture. Lunch on the Nile River was absolutely amazing.

Had a good time with Mohamed on tour of Old Market and Souq. We arrived around 9:30am when the market and souq was not super crowded which was a great for us. Mohamed, was helpful and accommodating.

Tour guide had limited English when we booked an English guide. Very disappointed that the Souks were closed on Sunday. Guide did get us a good deal at the bazaar.
Not Recommended During Ramadan

The local soups were interesting, however since it was Ramadan many shops and eateries were closed. Our tour operator was friendly and polite but didn’t have a full schedule for us and brought us back after 3 hours instead of the 4. We returned an hour earlier but paid for 4 hours. This is not recommended during Ramadan . My first 2 Aviator tours I rated 5 stars.

Walid was a great guide. Really felt like I experienced Egypt. Sat and people watched from a cafe in the bazaar and ate koshari in downtown Cairo. Highly recommend

Had a wonderful experience seeing the old city, mosques, and the market places. Jesse, our tour guide, was fantastic! Very bubbly and joyful, was fantastic to talk to and answered all the questions we had. Be prepared if you are not used to crowded places. Did a little shopping, mostly souvenirs.
Authentic city experience

This was a very interesting tour! Nader our guide was very knowledgeable and took us through a detailed history of the locations. He also gave us a lot of helpful information about how to shop the markets and what to look for in terms of quality. Would recommend if you want an authentic experience.
