Unlock Cairo's Soul: Private Sacred Sites & Souk Tour

Bisho was an excellent guide for my husband and I on our Viator tour of Coptic Cairo, the Citadel, and Islamic Mosque and Khan El Khalili. He was knowledgeable and very attentive and took good care of us.

Raafat good driver. Good route arond different parts of the city of Cairo. He is Friendly and adaptable. English speaker.

The tour was great! The guide, Roman, was very knowledgeable and friendly, highlighting a lot of interesting things about the sites that we didn’t know about. The Saladin citadel and Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and Coptic Cairo, gave a great mix of the Islamic and Christian history in Cairo, while the tour of Khan el-Khalili was a great way to experience the vibrancy of contemporary Cairo. Highly recommend the tour, and strongly recommend the optional add-ons too!

Ehab is an exceptional guide in Cairo. He shared deep historical insights in a crisp, clear way and always gave us enough time to soak in the beauty of each place and take photos. His warmth and hospitality were truly remarkable — something we’ll always remember. He also suggested amazing photography spots at every stop and even clicked some great pictures of us! Our driver, John, was equally wonderful. He shared so much local knowledge about the city and its people, making the journey even more enriching. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

Ehab was our guide with driver Sied. They took us on an incredible tour of Coptic, Jewish and Islamic Cairo before taking us to a bazaar. The communication prior to the trip was perfect via WhatsApp and we felt in safe hands. Ehab told us history at a perfect level, it was very interesting and the locations were stunning. Highly recommend for a free afternoon in Egypt- we started the tour at 1pm and finished around 5pm. Everything was well organised- Ehab clearly knows everyone and I found having him as our guide, we didn’t feel hassled. We booked around 10am the same morning so thank you also for fitting us in last minute. Thank you!

We visited Egypt last week with the family and it turned out to be one of those trips you’ll never forget—not just because of the country itself, but because of the amazing people we met along the way. We booked a private guided tour of Old Cairo, and Eihab was our guide while Ismael took care of driving us around. Honestly, the whole experience was fantastic. Cairo is already mind-blowing on its own, but with Eihab it became something truly special. The guy has a degree in archaeology, so his knowledge is deep and genuine—he explains everything in a way that’s interesting without ever feeling like a lecture. But what really sets him apart is his attitude: from the very first moment he made it clear that his main goal was for us to genuinely enjoy every second, and boy, we did. He’s the kind of guide who always goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively) without making a big deal out of it—whether it was adjusting the itinerary on the fly so we could see something extra, finding the perfect spots for photos, or just sharing little stories that brought the places to life. Super friendly, patient, and professional all at once. Ismael, our driver, was also excellent—safe, punctual, and always with a smile. Together they made the day feel effortless and fun. If I ever go back to Egypt (and I definitely will), I’m 100% reaching out to Eihab again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a top-class, unforgettable tour in Cairo. Seriously, if you want the best experience possible, this is your guy.

We had a generally good experience with the guide and driver in Cairo. Both were kind and helpful. However, the tour felt overpriced. We spent nearly half of the time in the car, and the “tickets included” option turned out to be poor value. We paid an extra $35 USD per person for inclusive tickets, but the only entrance fee actually needed was for the Citadel of Saladin, which costs about 500 EGP (around $11 USD). In the end, we paid three times the real ticket price, which was disappointing. Overall, while the guide and driver were pleasant, I wouldn’t recommend booking the “tickets included” option. It’s simply not worth the extra cost.

I greatly enjoyed this day trip and I highly record taking this tour when visiting Cairo. My guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable and his commentary regarding the history of Cairo greatly enriched the experience. I also enjoyed seeing the architecture of Cairos beautiful mosques and Churches. Our driver Hesam was great and provided very convenient pick up from and back to my hotel. Again I highly this tour.

Very informative and not rushed at all. Our guide, Simon, was very knowledgeable and kept the hagglers away too.

It was a very good experience. We enjoyed it very much. The guide and the driver very kind. The guide always waiting what we want and what we need.
