This tour is highly recommended, especially before visiting the Pyramids of Giza. Our highly educated guide gave us an excellent background commentary during the journey to Memphis, which was very interesting. The highlight for us, however, was Saqqara with the Step Pyramid, visit inside the Pyramid of Unas and being able to get up so close to the amazing reliefs of the mastaba tomb of Princess Idut.

Our tour guide was just wonderful - engaging, flexible and so eager to impart her knowledge - and the walk through downtown Cairo was exhilarating. It provided a wonderful counterpoint to our other explorations of Egyptian culture, both ancient and modern, and the stops for fresh juice, fantastic koshari and delicious icecream were highlights. We started to feel like true Cairenes, even given a taste of riding the metro. At the end of this very satisfying evening, we were efficiently packed into an Uber for a very cheap ride back to our hotel. Highly recommended!

Marwa had a great command of Alexandria's history and was enthusiastic about sharing Egyptian culture.

The Downtown Cairo experience was very interesting for us. It covered part of Cairo I had not seen and at night which is something I wanted to do. Loved riding the Metro and hearing "insider news" from Mohammed. Most of the tours focus on ancient or medieval sites, but if you are interested in how people live now in Cairo, it's good to take a tour like this one. Loved walking around town with the locals and stopping at an outdoor café. I actually did not have any expectations at the beginning. and I was pleasantly surprised.

Mohammed and Mohammed in training were both great. I enjoyed the day and learned a lot. I'm pretty relaxed and they did a good job of catering the day to me and being flexible.

Great local knowledge and a fantastic insight into Islamic Cairo

Walid was an excellent and extremely knowledgeable guide, and was perfect for a personal tour of Islamic Cairo. From discussing history while sitting on the floor of the Mohammed Ali Mosque to eating at El Fishawi in the Khan El-Khalili Market, the experience brought together the best of what Islamic Cairo has to offer.

Mr. Jeffrey M., Cairo, 29 Oct 2018

Mohammed did an excellent job of introducing me to some of Cairo's most famous and interesting Islamic sites. He is enthusiastic about his job and does a good job of imparting knowledge. The thing I appreciated most was him correcting many misperceptions I had about Islam.

Mr. Robert C., Cairo, 02 Oct 2018

Marwa was a fantastic guide. She was very personable, enthusiastic and well-trained. She was able to answer any and all questions I had. I would highly recommend her.

Mr. Robert C., Cairo, 29 Sep 2018

It was a long day of travel from Cairo to Alexandria, but it was well worth the time. We visited the catacombs, the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the very nice national museum, and saw the Citadel. We also had a seafood lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Corniche. Our lovely guide Shrouk was very fun and extremely knowledgeable, and she helped make it a very memorable day and experience.
