Avoid this tour, nefarious guide

I did the tour museum of civilizations, the citadel and ancient Cairo. The guide knew very little Spanish and did not understand or could not answer the doubts he had. His explanations were very brief and obvious. You could tell he didn't know much history. It wasn't a guide.

Fab fab tour guide Mira. Such an interesting day and we learnt do much about the religious aspects to Cairo. Then highlight was trip to Civilization museum which was a highlight of our trip in Cairo. Our driver Mohamed was lovely too

Old Cairo Bazar!!

We had an absolute blast on this tri with Ali! The museum was everything I wanted it to be (how can you take a trip to Egypt without seeing some mummies?). And then we went to the Community of Religions to see some amazing churches, synagogues and mosques. Incredible to see them all in the same place. The last stop was to the Old Cairo Bazar and that would have been worth the trip alone! Again Ali was amazing and we had an awesome time. We were one of two couples out today and it was nice to share the experience with another American couple as well 😁.

Great day in Old Cairo!

Another great day exploring Cairo with Tonsi! Very knowledgeable and guided us through the Khan al Khalili bazaar ensuring we did not get haggled by the vendors! Tonsi ensured we timed out our day to beat traffic and the crowds! Don’t miss the essential oils shop! You can trust Tonsi will take you to all the best spots and you’ll have fun!

First day in Cairo and it was amazing. Never forget because it was so much fun.

This was my first official day seeing Cairo and everything from my tour with my guide Ola(who is an awesome guide and very nice& takes beautiful pictures of you) was amazing. I already knew from the minute I saw the pyramids of Giza, that I would be blown away but everything that I got to do was so fun. Ending the tour with the felucca was my favorite part. If you go and end up choosing emo Egypt tours, ask for Ola because she is an awesome guide who will help you enjoy your vacation even more
