A captivating tour of the most important sites in Cairo. Everything is really professional from the transportation, organization to well developed and customizable  itinerary. We had a great, friendly and very knowledgeable guide, egyptologist Sam.  He gladly answered all our questions and presented to us through  this tour a very unique history of Cairo. Beautiful, mesmerizing sites, great guide and great logistics. Thank you!

Luckily enough for a second day here in Cairo, I was able to have again Amir as my tour guide and Adham as my photographer for this tour. And again, in my opinion they did phenomenally well as my tour guide/photographer. They accommodated my vegan dietary needs and took me to a place where believe it or not I had wanted to try from seeing on YouTube. I HIGHLY recommend this duo. You will not be disappointed.

It was a great experience and nice tour! And the guide had a lot of knowledge about Egyptian history. I was so amazed by it. The tour was really worth joining!
