Thank you for the nice day
My guide Yousef Aboalkhier arrived at the hotel on time. The tour starts at the market. Yousef is very attentive and friendly. I certainly wanted to see or buy things, and he led me to things. I was able to watch everything in peace and he helped with the price negotiations. Then we went to Al-Azhar Park. The driver drove us safely through the smallest gaps, was also always on time when we went on. Thanks to the driver. Thanks to Yousef for the great tour. I felt very comfortable and will not forget the beautiful day. Thank you
Fantastic day
An unremarkable shopping experience, meandering the streets of Khan Al Khalilli, everything and anything for sale. Learning the history of Khalilli and Al Moez Street from our knowledgeable, friendly guide Noor, before heading towards Al Azhar park, the most beautiful spacious green park of Cairo, An amazing experience strolling slowly through the park, a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of busy Cairo. Highly recommend this tour, a fantastic day.
Amal_Best guide
My tour in khan el khalili with Amal was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly friendly, open-minded. Her warmth and approachable nature made the experience so much more enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
Easy touring met my needs for day 1
Private tour was perfect . We had a traditional breakfast in the park . Saw the market .. when my husband got tired we got a ride to the gate . I wanted spices so we went to spice market .. prices were high but a lovely experience
Great and a lot of fun
I had a beautiful day at the bazaars with Hamada. He is very kind, respectful, intelligent and knows much about the quality. Also the driver Salah was very kind, respectful and made a good job. I felt the whole time comfortable and safe. For me as a solo female customer it was one of the best experiences. Both are a great team and very funny. Thank you for this perfect last day in Cairo!
