The tour operator did not show up. I sat in the hotel lobby for three hours waiting to be picked up., but nobody came.
Must do experience. Felt completely safe as 2 female travellers and the guides were so knowledgeable about the history of the area. Everything you are looking for, from customised jewellery to oils and Egyptian fabrics and tea. Safe to say my suitcase is now full :)
As a solo traveler this was a good tour. Abdelrhman the tour guide was very friendly and did hos best to make me smile. This is a shopping/sales tour. The stops are certainly picked to put you in front of sales people in a high pressure environment. I knew this and was ok with it and enjoyed the experience. My tour guide sat down with me for a lovely afternoon tea and helped me navigate the market and get a few good deals along the way. I dont think I would recommend the mosque visit as a clearly north american visitor. The guide was kind and so passionate to share the history and culture with me, but it was clear that their were others there who felt i wasn't welcome. Definitely recommend for the price. Just let them know what you want out of the tour and they will make it happen.
Thanks to Omar Saleh. We spent such a lovely afternoon in this tour. He was so nice with us, he explained us about the place and help us with the shopping. It’s a great choice if you want to see this side of Cairo. Gracias Omar
Exceptional service! Guide was knowledgable and smart navigating us well Team has great attitudes. Will use them again.
We had a wonderful time with Mahmoud, our guide. He was extremely informative and told us a great deal about Egyptian culture and everyday life. He was also very flexible and let us set the pace.
Absolutely loved this tour! Very intimate and super informative. Mustafa was so kind and attentive. I highly recommend.
I experienced one of the best tours ever with Mohab. He took really good care of us and made sure we were safe and enjoyed our time. Whenever I come to Egypt I will most definitely ask for him.
Mohab was the best tour guide I could have gotten for this tour ! He was nice, respectful, very informative. He made my friend and I feel so safe. He made sure we were comfortable at all times, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. He was absolutely amazing and I will be booking another tour with him before I leave Egypt.
Had an excellent 1/2 day with Mustafa our guide. Was great to see the markets , not just souvenirs but also fresh food. Mustafa was very knowledgeable and the time just flew. Would definitely recommend.
Walking through khan el khalili gave a nice look in the old islamitic culture that you don’t get in the rest of the city. The combination with the Cairo tower is really nice because you see the whole city and places you’ve been. You also experience the Cairo traffic, which is really chaotic and nice to see.
Mostafa, our guide, made the experience in Cairo unforgettable; his kindness, charisma, and knowledge as a guide meant we were able to learn about the culture and history of the city. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience. We hope
An exceptional excursion to Old Cairo and the traditional Khan el-Khalili souk. A big thank you to the French-speaking guide Youssef for his professionalism. I highly recommend it 🙂
I booked the visit with Gyg at first without knowing them, and immediately the manager Hesham contacted me with availability and excellent Italian. Every guide I had was very kind, available, and truly approachable, a quality that is absolutely not taken for granted here! I GUARANTEE! Always brought with a brand new van just for us, with drivers who are not only skilled at driving given the location, but also kind and always extremely available! It's a shame we booked the trip to the pyramids with others because now we will be certain that it would have definitely gone better than the one we took! Last visit to the mosques with lunch and transport to the airport. It is useless to talk about the guide, a phenomenon like the other for the reasons already mentioned!
We had Mohamed Italian as our guide and it was a formidable experience, visiting emblematic places in the history and culture of the country and becoming part of the daily life of the people of Cairo. Clear, well-explained and easily understood explanations. Mohamed Italian has been more than a guide a friend. Close, friendly, attentive and always willing for us to have a great experience in Cairo. Congratulations and we hope to find you again someday.
Many thanks to Mohamed italiano for the perfect organization of our excursion to Cairo! Everything was very well planned — from transport to visiting the pyramids and the museum. We didn’t have to worry about anything, everything took place in a pleasant and professional atmosphere. Thanks to him we had an incredible day, rich in discoveries and very well supervised. I highly recommend his services to all those who wish to visit Egypt with confidence!”
The excursion to the markets with Alaa Fahmy was great! He taught me a lot of them and in Spanish! I am so grateful! I will return with Sun pyramids tour
Our guide Omar Saleh is a very friendly person; we arrived a little late for the tour and waited for us without any complaints, always kept an eye on us and helped us get better prices in the shops! I definitely highly recommend it 100/10
Omar Saeed is the guide everyone would like. He speaks Italian perfectly, he is a kind and prepared guy. Explain everything in detail and patiently, as well as take visitors to a beautiful place where you feel immersed in local culture. I recommend this activity but above all I thank Omar for being so helpful. Truly unforgettable.
Great day spent with our guide Al-ghalban, he is very kind and patient They made us discover a facet of Egypt in a few hours. I recommend it 👍🏽😊
Beautiful experience, Abdul and Ahmed very friendly helpful and nice. The tour of the markets very characteristic and very detailed with specific stories of our guide Abdul.Very recommended for those who want a guide in italiano.As a final we tasted the typical shawerma sandwich and drank sugar cane juice, could not miss the hookah as the final touch.We witnessed at the end of the prayer inside the mosque
Comfortable and convenient solution... Withdrawal, tour the markets.. Explanation and return to the hotel after drinking a local cold drink... What we were looking for
We did a great activity with our Guide al-ghalban and his hamama driver, we recommend them, he was great and even beyond our expectations. Thank you for everything!
Everything perfect! I think it's the best company in Cairo. They always make you feel comfortable and are extremely available for anything. Particular review for Yunis, very professional and helpful person. It is thanks to him that this excursion is one of the most beautiful made in Egypt
A great experience. My Guide Al-Ghalban who spoke French (important) put me at ease. Someone very cheerful and very friendly. Not to mention the driver. The drive (👍😄) to the site was very nice. I enjoyed the colourful atmosphere at the Point of Sale. I particularly enjoyed the shop explaining the making of paper.
Kamalito was a wonderful guide, very friendly and always attentive to us and that we were happy, good company for a very good afternoon
