Guided tour of Islamic & Coptic Cairo
I am unsure if the the tour on Sept 6, 2026 itself was not good or it was the circumstances leading to it. The tour operator (EMO Tours) was great and made sure it all worked out. However I spent the first hour communicating with my tour operator rather than the tour. The guide was not the greatest. Though I had high anticipation for Coptic cairo, he showed mostly Islamic Cairo. I had to tell him that we wanted to see Coptic Cairo. He only had one church on his list. After communicating with my liason, we did see a few more churches. All in all, I think my expectations might have been too high and it wasn't what I thought it was. I wouldn't fault the tour operator but likely the guide was not as experienced.
Great day in Cairo
Mizo was incredible he is one of the best tour guides ever, he is so funny and passionate about his work, he explains history through the human experience not through dates and boring facts. I loved visiting the churches, the Mosques I was not too excited about however they were actually beautiful and so interesting to learn about . I love the respect Mizo showed for the churches. I needed to buy a special gift at the church and he made sure I got what I wanted and also let me stay longer and enjoy the atmosphere
Great guide and great tour
The sites are beautiful. My guide Haidy was very knowledgeable and we shared some great laughs . We had a sing along to Celine Dion and Whitney Houston on the way back to my hotel. Perfect way to end the day.
Citadel tour
Amir took us to the Citadel and other three mosques me and my family learned a lot and had a great time. He speaks very well Spanish and knows a lot about the history of the city. Very recommended
Excellent.
Very complete tour with an excellent guide who adapted the tour to our requirements. The information was very clear and very knowledgeable.
