Top Cairo Private Sightseeing Tours - page 190

Our guide Mohamed, and our driver Mahmoud, with The Egyptian King Travel Agency were fantastic. Seeing the sights is one thing, but you’re guaranteed to enjoy that no matter what. What truly made this experience more incredible were Mohamed and Mahmoud. They were on time, accommodating, and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of (water, bathroom access, food recommendations) We had great conversation and they both have great senses of humor. Mohamed’s knowledge of history, civilization, faith and religion are excellent and for any question we asked him, he took the time to give a detailed, in-depth response. We consider ourselves lucky that these two were who we ended up with as our guides. One more addition: Mahmoud is an excellent, safe driver and knows how to manage the local traffic very well. When coming to Egypt, these are the gentlemen you want to show you around!

Abeer was a superb guide who made the day interesting and full of new learning and insights not just about Cairo and the Muslim and Coptic experience, but about so many other things from a long, noble past that weave in and out of each other‘s place and position in history and the current day. It is always fascinating to have a guide who is so positive, knowledgeable, but above all loves her country and its diverse history and contribution to the world. Among many memorable moments., possibly one of the best for sitting in a café in a traditional market, drinking, drinking, mint tea, chatting, and watching the world go by. That is one of the memories that I end of the day with a whole new appreciation for a history and story that I now realize I knew very little about. I also have to say a word of things for the driver who was quiet, courteous, but incredibly brave in traffic at a time seemed out of control. Yet, he seemed to be in total control. This was one of my best tour experiences..

On the day we were due to take this tour we were contacted and asked if we could defer to the following evening because the traffic was so bad because of a state visit. This actually suited us so we agreed. We were picked up as arranged the following evening by our tour guide Amr at our hotel. We then went on to pick up another guest, who truned out to be someone we got on well with. Amr was a great tour guide, fun and informative and suggested changes in the original itinerary to ensure we got the best out of our experience. He delivered our evening in a friendly but professional manner which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this tour and partiuclarly our guide Amr.
