5.00This tour was one of the best experiences of our Egypt trip. We visited Coptic Cairo, beautiful historic mosques, and ended in the lively Khan El-Khalili market. Having a private guide Samy made everything easy and enjoyable. He explained the history in a warm and interesting way, never rushing us. We learned so much while having fun. Highly recommended for first time visitors.

5.00Bishoo was very knowledgeable and informative about all the sites and history. It was interesting to get both Coptic and Islamic views and how they have evolved. Even brought us an Egyptian sweet to try. Was also very helpful and supportive of other issues we are facing with another travel and tourism company.
