Cairo city full day tour with private tour guide and modern car

Great experience with Mona Gomaa our guide. she is flexible, knowledgeable, fun and very professional. We had three full days with an excellent driver and many different locations. We planned our interary together and were most pleased and satisfied.

I booked a Full Day tour through Cairo through TripAdvisor, organised by Go Travel Egypt. Overall I was very happy about the experience. My guide Mohammed was very (!) knowledgeable, provided me with a lot of very interesting information at the various sites, knew how to take the best pictures (thank you!), and adapted the tour according to my wishes. Our driver was always back right on time to pick us up between sites and skillfully manoeuvred us through the dense Cairo traffic. I also appreciated that both the driver and guide were always wearing a mask when we were together indoors (e.g. in the car, the museum). One thing that I bothered me is that the Ben Ezra Syngogue and the Mosque of Amr Ibn El-Aas were officially on the programme, but both are currently closed due to renovations. I was also not informed about this in my email exchanges about the programme with Mister Mostafa before the tour. This should not happen. However, I was very pleased that my tour guide then added the Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church on the tour day as a replacement. I just wish I had gotten this information beforehand.

An amazing day sightseeing old Cairo, Mohammed was our guide and from the offset he was exceptional....a wealth of knowledge of Egyptian history, his passion for the subject matter was evident and his explainations were descriptive and clear and he was happy to elobaorate when needed. The Egyptian museum was a must do experience, probably worthy of a day in itself. We have probably forgotten most of what we learnt already but I feel like we walked away with great memories and lots of respect for the long history of Egypt and Cairo. My wife and I have done the likes of Rome and Paris and Egypt surpasses them in regards to the mystery and romance of the ancient civilisation. Worthy of mentioning are the various other sites we were shown on the tour, from the religious icons such as the hanging church and Babylon to the Mosque of Muhammad Ali it was all inspiring and powerful visually as well as emotionally. The view over Cairo (from the Citadel) took me by surprise, although I could never get use to the crowded markets and equally chaotic roads seeing the density and scale of the city was something else....only regret was not seeing it on the clearest of days as we could only see a faint shillouete of the Pyramids in the distance. To sum it up, extremely satisfied with the tour and what it offered. Our guide however was an excellent ambassador and he made this something even better for us, we truely appreciate your time and knowledge and thank you for giving us these memories.
