BEWARE: Itinerary changed without my knowlege!

I thought the tour was fine until looking back on my itinerary--I was supposed to go to Khan el Kalil market at the end but was instead taken to a cotton shop, an expensive spice shop, payparus museum, and optional perfume store--all of which my guide likely receives commission from my sales. My guide Aya never once explained why we did this and not the tour I booked and I forgot what was planned each day so didn't fight it. The next day on a tour where she was the guide she changed my itinerary AGAIN, by adding a second guest to my private tour and cut the bazaar from that day's plan....saying she'd take me my last day--but no one accompanied me to Khan el Khalil my whole trip.

Very good tour

• Lovely air conditioned car. • Both driver and guide friendly and approachable. • Seyed Mahmoud (the guide) was very knowledgeable and offered to take lots of pictures for me. He would let me know what the next part of the tour was and if I had no interest, we could skip. When I would ask to sit down for a bit, he would always give me as much time as I needed to recover.

Unforgettable Cairo Tour with Expert Guide and Amazing Photos

This private Cairo tour was an incredible way to see the city's highlights in one day. Our guide, Osama, was extremely knowledgeable, especially during our visit to the Egyptian Museum, where his explanations brought the ancient artifacts to life. At the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, he not only shared fascinating history but also turned into a pro photographer, helping us strike the best poses and capturing amazing shots we’ll treasure forever. Lunch was a delicious, authentic Egyptian meal, and the stop at the perfume shop was a fun and fragrant experience where we learned about Egypt’s famous oils and fragrances. Comfortable transport and a smooth itinerary made this day truly unforgettable. Highly recommend Osama and this tour!
