Cairo's Ancient Wonders Tour

Notified the night before the tour of pick up time and location confirmed. Pick up was perfectly organised with a text being received just before the car arrived. Our guide - Hassan Karem and driver - Mahmoud Khalid were excellent. Hassan was very knowledgeable and helpful and did a good job in promoting both Cairo and Egypt as a holiday destination. Mahmoud was a brilliant driver and I take my hat off to him driving in the traffic, which needs to be seen to be believed. Tour included stops at the new Egyptian museum, the Citadel of Saladin, Mosque of Muhammad Ali and Khan Al-Khalili Bazaar. There was also stops at an oils shop and a papyrus shop where you are under no obligation to buy anything. At all stops we were accompanied by Hassan who provided the history and showed us round all the key spots to ensure we saw everything. Time to explore on your own is also provided and this was sufficient to ensure you saw what you wanted. In all a very worthwhile trip which I would recommend.

Excellent experience, everything went according to the day's itinerary in the immense city of Cairo. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide Ahmed was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The driver Sayed bravely and safely piloted us through the crazy Cairo traffic. I think the highlight of the trip was the visit to the two mosques in the citadel, along with the friendly discussion with Ahmed about the cultural and religious beliefs and practices. A wonderful learning experience. As expected, the Egyptian museum was fascinating, made even better with Ahmed’s insightful explanation of what we were seeing. The Khan el-Khalili Bazaar was interesting, but pretty much full of the Chinese mass-produced trinkets you can find at any tourist spot. The highlight here was enjoying a Turkish coffee break with Ahmad and watching the crowds go by.

Loved the experience!!! We toured everything, the guide took some very nice pictures, explained everything about the history of Egypt and gave me a space to tour on my own what I wanted... but always very much watching me!

Our guide, a woman (Iman? Didn’t get her name properly) who brought her younger sister along, had basically no knowledge about the artifacts at the museums, she also did not explain anything about the citadel or the mosque we visited. Our guide did not speak English well, it was such a bad tour in terms of learning anything about the culture and history of country. I would not recommend this tour, there was no point in spending money for a guide who wasn’t able to tell us anything. The driver on the other hand was pretty good.
