Great Tour of Cairo’s Historic Landmarks

5.00We visited the fortress in Cairo with its mosque inside, the two famous Coptic churches, and the old Egyptian Museum. The tour gave us a well-rounded overview of the city’s rich history and cultural heritage. Our guide explained not only the sites themselves but also the broader history of Egypt, from the Greek and Roman periods through later conquerors. This context made it easier to understand how different influences shaped the country over time. Everything was clearly presented and easy to follow, and the itinerary was well structured to cover several important highlights in one day. Overall, a very good experience for anyone wanting to explore Cairo’s historic sites with more depth.
An Exceptional Guide!

5.00Adel is an exceptional guide whose knowledge of Egypt, and Cairo in particular is unrivalled. He is an authoritative source of information on Ancient Egyptian history and historical artefacts. He is highly respected in his field and I could not recommend him more highly!

5.00Adel was great leading us through these 3 stops. He made the whole day extremely easy. He led us around the museum while explaining all of the pieces we were looking at as well as made sure we didn't miss the popular items. The citadel & mosque were also incredible. He had an answer for every question and even helped me & my bff get great pictures together. From there, he led us around the bazaar both to places he trusted/recommended as well as helped us barter for items. We stopped at a cafe all together and enjoyed some refreshments before heading back to our hotel. Adel made it a fantastic experience.
Cairo Museum;Citadel and surrounds - Amazing

5.00Our tour guide Adeel was amazing, he carried expert knowledge on all aspects of our site-seeing guided tour - I thoroughly enjoyed his very insightful knowledge especially in the Egyptian Museum concerning all the various Egyptian Kingdoms and associated dynasties even the those later eras of the Ptolemaic; Fatimid;Mamluk and Otterman empires We even got fascinating commentary in the shuttle transport whilst driving to our various destinations He was also apologetically respectful of our wishes not to proceed with some of his recommendations- which I feel is a bit lacking in Egypt A truly brilliant tour guide and equally amazing tour itself I would highly recommend ZaneA- Cape Town

5.00The best way to get to know Egypt in depth is the "Egypt Select Tours". I spent 3 days touring the pyramids, Giza, museums and the city of Alexandria. Adel and Youssef, awesome professionals and tireless, flexible to make a program that met my wishes and needs. The best gift a traveler can give himself before arriving in Egypt. I highly recommend it and thank them personally for the good work they do!
An absolute worthwhile experience!

5.00To someone who wants to explore Egypt like a native, we would absolutely recommend Egyptselecttours! We enjoyed three guided tours with them (Cairo Museum, Giza Pyramids and Alexandria). Both Adel and Youssef are amazing guides, so knowledgeable, so kind, so professional, so willing to answer every question we made them! The communication and feedback we had with Adel even before arriving was always informative and prompt whatever the time of the day -or night!- we reached out to him. He was flexible enough to tailor the visits so as to meet our needs and priorities but also to pick us up and start the tour even in the middle of the day (due to unexpected extrinsic factors that changed our initial plans). We drove through Cairo and Alexandria safely by their – always- spotless car having a local’ s perspective of everyday life in the city. With their guidance we learnt about Egypt not only as tourists but also as in a journey back in time! We are sincerely grateful for that experience!
Tower to old Cairo and citadel s eddine it was beautiful. We're happy with Adel.
