Sharif, our guide, was excellent. Old Cairo was fascinating, and we better understood it's history given the quality of Sharif's explanations. The Bazaar was, rather bizarre! Not our cup of tea, but worth seeing. So many shops, and all of them trying to sell you something!

It was great experience visiting old part of the city which is enriched with so much or history. I would definitely recommend to families with kids. My kids were very excited to walk the same path(in Abu Serga) as the wholy family filling them with curiosity to know more about the place and its history. Visiting one of the oldest Synagogues and Hanging Church added to the fun experience. We went to see the Khan El Khalili market in the afternoon so managed to avoid the crowd. Thanks to our guide-Ibrahim who ensured to make it comfortable and interesting for us!

Abo was a fantastic tour guide! He showed us Coptic Cairo in a fascinating way, and took us to the bazar at a very convenient time, when it was not super crowded. Super knowledgeable guide, can’t recommend enough!
