Ramses has incredible knowledge of Cairo’s history and great perspective on life in the city today. It very quickly felt like we were being shown around by a friend. Stopped for Egyptian coffee and conversation before heading deep into the old city, wrapping up with a delicious lunch. Highly recommend.

Great tour with Moustafa
We had an amazing time with Moustafa. He took us to a ton of cool spots in Cairo that we would not have seen otherwise. He was incredibly knowledgable and friendly as well. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to explore the city.

Beautiful tour
Abdallah is not only a very nice and professional guide but also very kind man. Because our fly was cancelled and we had to fly later he reorganize the schedule and come to pick up us directly at the airport. Thank you! Hope to see you soon.

Lots of derail to share.
We loved Maga who listen when we explained what we were after and delivered.
I ask a lot of questions and Maga answered them with details connecting lots of dots for us.
He helped avoid the touts and other rip offs in Cairo.
Great guide and nice guy.

Amazing
With our guide Ahmed and his driver Waleed our visit to Cairo was like being entertained by friends. We were even taken out for lunch . We experienced the real Cairo, the real Egypt. Ahmed’s knowledge of Egyptian history was enlightening. For anyone who wants to feel like an Egyptian for a day I recommend Ahmed.

Interesting and fun experience
Had a wonderful experience. Ramses was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodated all our requests.
The tour itself was very interesting and provided a different viewpoint with a historical background of the three coexisting religions as well as a modern view of Cairo and a very fun bazaar.
Highly recommended.
