The overall tour was fantastic and a true value for money for once. I've done so many tours in Egypt but this tour with Sheriff was by far the best. He knows the history and the finer details of each and every monument we toured. He's a good storyteller and he's kind, I was with my daughter but the way he presented the history was amazing and fun even for a 9 year old girl. lastly, he took us for a wonderful lunch where he showed us traditional Egyptian foods and the best way to enjoy them as a local

Jasmine was a great guide and really enhance the day. I think the experience would have been a lot less engaging and satisfying how we not had someone that explain explaining the deep history to us. My driver, Muhammad was great as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Coptic & Islamic Cairo Tour with Hishek! I had an amazing experience on the Coptic and Islamic Cairo tour. Our guide, Hishek, made the entire day unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about Egypt’s history. I really enjoyed how he explained the stories behind each site in a clear and engaging way. We visited beautiful spots like the Hanging Church, St. George Church, and the historic streets of Old Cairo, as well as the majestic Islamic landmarks including Al-Hakim Mosque and the Qalawun Complex. Hishek made sure I didn’t miss any highlights and also helped with great photo spots. The pace was perfect, the pickup was smooth, and the lunch was delicious. I felt safe, relaxed, and well taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend this tour — and especially Hishek — for anyone visiting Cairo!

Elham, my guide was absolutely lovely. I asked her a thousand questions and she answered all of them with a smile. She was knowledgeable not just about the sites we visited, but also about Cairo in general. She gave me so many suggestions on what to do in Cairo and around, where to go for good food, and helped me build an itinerary for the remaining days. I will definitely be booking her for future tours 😀 The location of the restaurant for lunch was a little random, but the food itself was delicious!! They charged me 100 EGP for a bottle of water, which I thought was steep and unexpected. The pick up was bang on time (he was actually in front of the location 5 minutes early). The driver was super friendly, and made the start of the tour very pleasant.

We had Hazem as our guide and we were so lucky to have him! He was so knowledgeable and personable with us. He took us to all the sites we wanted to see and answered all the random questions we had about mosques and the areas we were in. He made sure we had waters and the lunch was absolutely amazing!! We never would’ve known what to order and where to go but Hazem knew all the good spots. We would highly recommend him to be anyone’s guide and will use him again in the future. Transportation: The car had amazing AC and the driver was top notch. Cairo traffic is insane and we came away with no scratches and only laughs about all the close calls we saw with other cars and not ours.
