Informative And Fun

5.00This is a comprehensive tour and well worth booking. My guide, Bassant, took me around all the significant areas of the Grand Museum, with detailed explanations and knowledge. But, also, the day has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and, if you bring your own ideas, Bassant will do her best to accommodate e.g. I wanted to have some genuine Egyptian falafel as the lunch option, so she took me to a typical Egyptian restaurant that sells them. There was a similarly in-depth visit to The Pyramids complex, Bassant adding extra details, enhancing the experience of these remarkable monuments. I didn't do the the feluca ride, but I imagine that it would be a very fine end to the day. Highly recommended tour!
Great time checking out major things in Cairo

5.00We spent an exceptional day with Omar, our Egyptian guide (in French). Thanks to him, the visit to the Citadel, the Museum and Old Cairo was exciting from beginning to end. His explanations were clear, rich and always interesting, and he answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. We recommend Omar 100% to discover Cairo: thanks to him, we had an unforgettable experience!
