Book for the culture, stay for the vibes.

Shimika_W, Dec 2025
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.)

Abdu is the very best!

I’m could not have imagined a better tour guide than Abdu. He was so informative, friendly, and courteous. He made the day interesting and fun and I felt very well-taken care of. I would give him my very highest recommendation as the best tour guide in Egypt.

Very enjoyable

Hilary_W, Nov 2025
It was very enjoyable to be escorted around the bazaar and learn about the history of the buildings surrounding it.

Amazing experience

Linda_D, Oct 2025
Abdu, our guide was amazing. He took us on a thorough tour of Islamic sites / the market, and was able to answer all our questions. It felt like we were spending our time with a friend, rather than a guide. We highly recommend this tour and Abdu to you.

Amazing experience, once in a lifetime, so thought out and detailed.

Our experience with Roaa today was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and well cared for. Her warmth, knowledge, and passion for Egypt brought every stop on our tour to life. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly — from timing and transportation to thoughtful little details that made the day extra special. We truly felt like we were in the best hands the entire time. Roaa is not only incredibly professional but also genuinely kind and personable. This was easily one of the best guided tours we’ve ever experienced. If you’re visiting Egypt, ask for Roaa — you’ll be so glad you did!

Simply Amazing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Old Cairo and Khan Elkhalili Bazaar, Moez Street, and Azhar Tour with Abdu (guide) and Muhammad (driver) was simply amazing! From the start, they were perfectly on time, and the vehicle was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. Abdu was so intentional about getting to know us, checking in on how we were doing with the walking, and making sure we were comfortable throughout the evening. We told him what souvenirs we were looking for and our price range, and he delivered! He took us to the best shops in the bazaar with exactly what we wanted at fair prices. The mosque we visited was incredible—Abdu shared so much knowledge, and we walked away learning so much about the history and culture. The best part was that the tour began mid-evening, so we got to enjoy the sunset, take some wonderful photos, and stroll in the evening atmosphere. It was truly magical. This is an absolute must-do excursion if you’re visiting Cairo!

We booked this tour as it...

Eric_S, Sep 2025
We booked this tour as it wasn't combined with too many other sites as we had arrived in the early morning and knew we'd be very tired if it was too long. Communcation with our guide Abdu was great. We were picked up on time at 6pm and first went to the Al-Azhar Mosque. From there we walked to the bazaar as it was getting dark out. Highly recommend doing the bazaar at night. My wife really enjoyed this and picked up some spices for cooking. Abdu was very knowledgeable and took us through the rest of the tour and back to the hotel about 9:30pm. Strongly recommend this tour and guide Abdu.

Great Old Cairo experience to take in sights and sounds

If I can give one hundred stars I would. My tour guide Abdu was absolutely amazing. His knowledge is so enlightening and profound. He is a true professional and an overall great human being. I would recommend Abdu as your next tour guide. Abdu also takes the most incredible photos. :)

David_M, Oct 2024
The whole tour was very informative and was exactly what we wanted to experience. We appreciate the host ability to answer all my weird questions and take time to explain the history of the culture and city. We definitely will recommend our friends who visit to take this tour.

Andrea_T, Oct 2024
Guide speak perfect English and knows Cairo very well. Mosque is interesting and cafe is good. Cheap places to buy some souvenir.

Well worth it!

BARBARA_M, Sep 2024
I wanted to take an evening tour after sunset, for cooler weather. Found this tour @ 19:00, decided to take it. Glad I did. My tour guide Abdu was knowledgeable, friendly, patient & communicated well. I absolutely recommend this tour. Often times the guide can make all the difference in your tour, do yourself a favor and ask for Abdu.

Great tour guide! 5 stars!

Chris_B, Aug 2024
Abdelrahman hassan Was our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience.

とても紳士的に案内してくれた。英語が苦手な私たちに...

TAKAHIRO_H, Dec 2024
とても紳士的に案内してくれた。英語が苦手な私たちに合わせて話をしてくれる素晴らしいガイドだった。集合時刻が当日突然30分遅らされたので、驚いたが、お祈りの時間を避けるためと後で分かった。事前に説明してくれればよりよかった。

Une expérience unique et agréable,recommande

Dbora_S, Aug 2024
Nous étions 4 francais,malgré la barrière de la langue pour certains d’entre nous Abdu s’est montré calme,patient et bienveillant.Entre mosquées,bazar,street food il a su nous communiquer son amour du Caire et de l’Egypte, nous avons passé un bon moment et en aucun cas nous étions dérangés par l’agitation du Caire. Le Chauffeur était ponctuel et pro ! Merci

Excellente visita por Old Cairo
