An Unforgettable Experience! We had an absolutely wonderful time on our tour, all thanks to our incredible guide Yemani. They were punctual, highly professional, and perfectly organized, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. What truly set them apart was their warm and kind nature, which made us feel instantly welcome and comfortable. Thank you Yemani!
The tour was very nice! Pick-up from hotel right on-time. The tour guide was very friendly and introduced Cairo’s history, beautiful mosques, buzzing downtown and a sunset ride on the unavoidable Nile river. He was very social, knowledgeable and helpful while not very pushy and was listening customer wishes as well. Definitely recommend!!!
Our guide, Yemani, was so knowledgeable and friendly! He told us so much about everything we saw from the boat ride to walking through Old Cairo. Everything felt very well organized. Our driver, Amr, handled the traffic like a pro! We’d definitely book another tour with them!
Yemani was such an incredible guide, he shared so much knowledge throughout Cairo and made our experience on the Nile river and through the markets as seamless as possible. Our driver Amr kept us safe and provided a great journey. Would definitely recommend!
First off, I want to give a shout out to Rodien and Abdul Rahman the driver. They are both great, attentive, passionate about what they do, and know the facts about the places we went to on this tour. I am very satisfied and recommend wholeheartedly that you book this tour!
Roaa! Oh my goodness, she was so intentional. It felt like I was with one of my sisters. Pick up and drop was a breeze. She took so many pictures of me on the Nile tour and taught me some history as well. We then went to Old Cairo, where Roaa negotiated pricing, made sure I understood everything, and felt safe. She even bought me my favorite snack (corn on the cob), which was so sweet of her. 1000/10, I’d book with her again. Thank you, Roaa!
Your was great! Guide was very nice and very knowledgeable. She was able to answer all the questions we had and give very good facts about the city. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Amazing, our guide was flawless, told us so much about history.
Roaa our guide was amazing! She went the extra mile to ensure we saw and did everything we wanted. She was very knowledgeable and could tell that she loves what she does. I would recommend her and this tour to everyone.
There were 3 of us in my group. We had a lovely guide called Roaa, she met us early at our hotel, she was very knowledgable on this tour, took us to the jewellery store firstly, and was very patient whilst I had my Cartouche made. After this took us to the mosques, had a coffee in the bazaar market, which was nice, then took a walk through the market, tried sugar cane juice which my partner enjoyed, then a grilled corn on the cob, which was yummy. . She got our ride to pick us up and return us to the hotel. Very personable lady and overall a great tour. I would definitely recommend anyobe who is looking for a tour guide to book her in.
Our tour guide Roaa was helpful and very informative on the tour. She listened to our needs and tailored accordingly. The information given was top tier. She set the tour to our pace and gave good recommendations. She is an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide and my family and I are happy to have met her. Cairo is beautiful and big with so much history to it and this tour was good to give you a flavour of the history of this city.
Roaa Nouby was amazing~~ This whole tour was informative and caring. She helped us out with bargaining in the bazaar (I didn't do well, wife did 🤣), to just being an awesome guide and buddy. She showed us a few things off tour we requested (a sweets shop, highly recommend) and a perfume / oil shop (wife was in heaven). Put it simply, everything was fantastic. The boat ride, the mosque tours, the bazaar, all of it. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a person who's highly informative, kind, and helpful. 🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖
Abdallah was an amazing guide. You can tell he really knows the history, and the way he tells the stories makes every stop so much more interesting. He was always helpful, full of energy, and as a bonus, he’s an incredibly talented photographer. I came home with so many beautiful photos from Khan El Khalili and Old Cairo that I would never have captured on my own. A big shoutout to Amar as well. He was a fantastic driver, and I felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole trip. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, don’t hesitate. Just make sure you get the perfect combo: Abdallah as your guide and Amar as your driver.
Excellent service received. Great trip, good driver.
We had a great half day with Menna, our guide, who took us around the old Coptic Christian churches and Synagogue in Cairo, showing us where Joseph and Mary are said to have brought the Baby Jesus when fleeing from King Herod. We also saw the markets and sailed on the Nile in a Felucca which was a unique experience. Menna was great with the kids and brought the experience to life for us all.
We booked the Tour and had a really great day with our Tourguide Yemani. He showed us very beautyful places and told us a lot about life in Egypt, the culture and the buildings. Yemani was a great shopping-companion as well and went to a really nice local coffeehouse with us. He is a very good photographer too, so you will get the best holiday- pictures. Don't miss this tour!!
We really had a great tour with Roaa! She was amazing with the kids and explained everything to us really nicely. When we wanted to look around in the markets she would let us stop and mooch. We all really enjoyed the boat ride across the Nile, we had a fun time doing the Macarena with her. Really recommend to families who are looking for a fun tour guide!
Did this tour our last day in Cairo of a 10-day trip to Egypt with my husband and it was perfect! Our guide, Yemani, was kind, informative, and well-resourced while being flexible and accommodating throughout. We enjoyed listening to him share brief snippets of detailed history during our 3-hour tour of this beautiful place that was peppered with humor and questions designed to tailor the tour to our experience. Yemani effectively managed logistical details to help us see all the things we wanted to and maximize our enjoyment and learning. Highly recommend touring with Yemani, and dive in to something spontaneous while you're out here! He has great recommendations!
While the mosque and bazaar were a unique experience, it would have been much better if we had been given more information about what we were seeing. It was disappointing that the second mosque was closed and no alternative was suggested and we were not taken for mint tea as per the itinerary. The guide mainly chatted with the driver on the journey to and from our hotel instead of sharing her knowledge about what we were seeing.It was an enjoyable trip but could have been so much better.
The old Cairo tour was amazing and beautiful. With beautiful views and people.
Our guide, Roaa, and her driver met my wife and I at our designated time and place. Roaa started our tour with a visit to a large mosque. We would not have gone inside and experienced this mosque without a guide, being with Roaa made this fascinating visit possible. We then walked thru the bazaar, stopping for mint tea and later fresh sugarcane juice, both included in the tour. We enjoyed exploring the shops and experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of the bazaar and Moez Street. With Roaa as our guide, we experienced no pushy hawkers chasing after us. Instead, everyone we encountered was friendly, kind and welcoming. Roaa's knowledge and choices for places to visit made this tour surpass our expectations. Also, we were impressed by her English speaking skills.
Very nice and friendly guide Salma took me around Old Cairo during Ramadan.
Great day exploring old Cairo and learning!!! I had a wonderful time exploring of Cairo with a guide Hagar! She is so marvelous! Very passionate about her work, full of information of different period
I had a wonderful time exploring of Cairo with a guide Hagar! She is so marvelous! Very passionate about her work, full of information of different period of the large Egyptian history and culture! I enjoyed seeing the mosques, shopping at the bazaar and getting to know Cairo even better. Thank you so much Hagar for your work! I wish you to get famous soon and live far from the syn
This was a fairly average tour. We started with a short felucca ride, which was very pleasant. It was nice to have the boat to ourselves. Then a tour of the Al Azhar mosque, followed by a walk around the Elkhalili bazaar. Our guide spoke beautiful English and was friendly and polite. But we didn’t get as much from the tour as I would have hoped. For example, I would have liked a talk while on the boat (history, explaining scenery, etc) but he just stared at his phone for a lot of it. Likewise for the walk around the bazaar. There was very little in terms of guiding, we felt more like we were just being escorted. The coffee stop was also a disappointment. I would have liked to stop at an interesting or historic cafe, tasted something authentically Egyptian, gotten more insight into daily Egyptian life. But it was just a coffee stop. Overall quite disappointed. The only mitigating factor was that it was the first day of Ramadan, and so our guide was most likely hungry and dehydrated.
Visiting the bazaar and mosques, plus stops for tea/juice made for a perfect morning. Is a great tour to get a glimpse into Old Cairo highlights. My guide, Abdu, very knowledgeable and helpful. Great tour and highly recommended!
The tour was great and the guide was nice and super kindly! Super raccomanded!
Overall it was really relaxing being in this area of the city before everyone wakes up haha. The shops were nice and I enjoyed the tea. Roaa was a great guide that explained everything perfectly and even helped me with my shopping. Definitely recommend coming when it’s less packed. You miss out on the vibes of the area but you don’t have to sit in traffic haha.
Yemeni is an excellent guide. He was respectful and flexible on what we wanted to see and do. We enjoyed going to each mosque, seeing Khan El Khalili and walking down Al Moez. Would recommend! Omar is also a great driver, taking us to each location and back to our hotel.
We had an incredible day with Yemeni and Omar seeing the sights in Old Cairo. We felt very comfortable with them and learned a lot - they were even flexible with a last minute update to go to the Muhammad Ali mosque. Thanks guys!
We learned a lot from this tour. Rooa is an GREAT guide. She made our experience in Egypt memorable. Her english is good and explained a lot of history of Old Cairo. We entered 2 mosques, had sugar cane juice, tea and my husband had Turkish coffee. We wouldn’t be able to navigate the alleys of the bazaar on our town. It’s so worth doing this tour and also having a driver Hassan to take us to places worry free.
We were lucky to have a friendly lokal Guide. Yemani knew a lot, showed us nice places and recommended very traditional food. We just liked the tour a lot :)
Rao is such a sweet person! She was very knowledgeable of the history of all the places we went. She was also able to answer all of our questions. She knew the perfect places to take us for authentic local Egyptian items. Abdul is nice and a very good driver. So glad he was driving and not us. We even booked another tour with the 2 of them. We would highly recommend both of them!
Its a wonderful morning abdu we pick up early morning,he say good morning with a beutiful smile. We past by to the rnile and he called golden he is helpful,i highly recommend him
Very good experience.very friendly and accomodating.patiently clean car more water and snakswaiting...satisfied customer!highly recommend! An
Mo was super friendly and informative as he took us on a walking tour of the bazaar and mosques. So nice to sip strong coffee, chat and take in the atmosphere and feel completely safe and looked after too. He also took us to a great family restaurant for the traditional Koshari of pasta, rice , chickpeas & lentils with a tomato sauce. Authentic - full of Egyptian families eating together. Would thoroughly recommend Mo if you want to explore Cairo/Egypt. Great English speaker too.
Great time with Mo Yemani, so glad we went for the evening tour the night we arrived in Cairo. It was a great way to get stuck in and see the Bazaar at the best time. We were surprised at how safe we felt despite the crowds and us clearly being tourists. Mo was great at making us feel at ease, we had great worldly conversations with him over a coffee and shisha and later learned so much about the architecture and way of life. Really recommend, great way to explore and learn!
One of the best tour guides you can meet in Cairo, she is really nice and really does a good job. She knows the history really well and speaks perfect English. Truly recommended.
Great experience! My guide was Roaa she answered all my questions and explained everything, she is very kind and friendly
We had an absolutely amazing experience with our guide, Roaa! She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and friendly, and somehow managed to make us love Egypt even more (if that was even possible). Her energy was fantastic, and she paced the tour perfectly to suit our interests and needs. Everything felt seamless—from the smooth transport to the well-organized and punctual pickup. The tour of Old Cairo, the mosques, and the bazaar was unforgettable. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour, and especially Roaa, to anyone wanting an authentic, engaging, and beautifully run experience in Cairo.
Roaa is super sweet. I booked the day of and requested her and she made a big effort to be my guide on NYE. She took great care of me and I felt super comfortable with her. The bazaar is a feast for the senses.
Abdallah was a friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive tour guide. He masterfully managed the schedule for the day to ensure we ended up in the felucca on the Nile River during sunset (per my explicit request). He was on time in picking us up from our hotel. He made my mother & I feel comfortable walking through Old Cairo - pointing out key historical elements, romancing the hidden gems, evading the motorcycles passing by, and mitigating any hassles from the store shops and beggars on the street. We had deep conversions not only about ancient Egypt but also American pop culture. Highly recommend this tour & Abdallah as your guide! (Also speaks very good English.)

Most amazing night tour of the bazaar and old Cairo. ROAA was incredible. Her knowledge and care for us was 10/10. Of you are lucky enough to get Roaa as your guide, you will have the most fantastic experience.
We did the Market tour in Cairo with Roaa and it was one of the highlights of our trip. She was warm, professional, and so knowledgeable—she gave great context and answered every question with ease. The pace was perfect: enough time to look around, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere without feeling dragged out. If you’re considering this tour, I highly recommend requesting Roaa.
Our guide Roaa was truly exceptional with her knowledge and enthusiasm . Even my 12 year old was engaged the entire afternoon. She talked us through the history of Cairo old town and gave us a fantastic cultural experience at Khan El Khalil bazaar. Super impressed with the driver navigating skills through Cairo traffic.
I highly recommend this tour. Yemani was an excellent tour guide. He brought us around local streets to see more of the real Cairo. He walked us around the old streets giving us a history tour. He gave us extra time to shop at the market, helped us haggle, and carried our bags. He brought us to an amazing spice shop upon request. He brought us for tea in the market and sugar cane juice.
Lovely time roaming with my private guide Roaa around city, the bazaar and learning about Cairo. Would definitely recommend. Solo female traveler and felt safe despite crazy Cairo traffic and excellent driver. Private is way to go rather than big crowds.
We had an amazing evening tour in Cairo with Salma as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She made navigating the market so easy and even took us to shops with the best deals. We really enjoyed stopping for a cup of coffee and visiting a beautiful mosque. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo!
A half-day in Cairo with Roaa as my guide and Hegeser as my driver, with every moment feeling easy and welcoming. Starting in Khan el-Khalili, the old market, with Roaa guiding me through the busy alleys, giving tips on bargaining, sharing local insight, and turning every shop interaction into something fun and confident. The market energy surrounding us — colors, voices, scents — all becoming part of the experience she shapes for me. Moving on to a felucca Nile cruise, offering calm water, open air, soft movement, and a peaceful break from the bustle. A perfect contrast — quiet views of the river, the city drifting by, and space to simply breathe and enjoy. With Hegeser handling the driving, everything feeling smooth and comfortable, every transfer easy, no stress in getting from one place to the next. A warm, enjoyable, memorable Cairo experience with Roaa and Hegeser — both highly recommended.
