I would recommend this tour to those who are looking to explore and understand Cairo in more detail ranging from his history to religion. Our guide Ali was great. Lots of knowledge and very friendly and helpful. He guided us through so many ‘secrets’ and explained the mosques, streets and overall the history of Egypt/Cairo very thoroughly. Bonus points for Ali for taking some amazing photos of us.

I absolutely LOVED this tour! Talk about experiencing the real and some of the best parts of Cairo!! Our guide Aly was very knowledgeable, funny, and super great at taking pictures for us along the way!! Our in in house photographer!! There are some amazingly beautiful architectural features to the Mosques and details he very freely pointed out. We also had time to do some shopping and had a memorable time sharing a meal with one of the stare owners! Awesome tour and a beautiful evening to see real Cairo at in it's most beautiful light!
