Lovely day exploring Cairo's history with Ehab - This was a nice half-day tour of several sites in Cairo. We saw the highlights of Coptic Cairo, the Citadel, and the Egyptian Museum. This is a good tour to get a birds-eye view of the many religious and cultural influences of Egypt. My favorite was the Egyptian Museum. My guide, Ehab, gave a really good tour of the museum's highlight's then gave me free time to take pictures and see more (like the mask of King Tut). The guide was also very considerate to give me picture-taking time everywhere and answer my questions. He was quite knowledgable. The driver, Peter, was also very courteous too. Thanks Ehab and Peter for a great day!

Flexible - We spent a good day getting some knowledge of the ancient of Egypt and seeing a bit of their life style. Our guide was flexible asking what we would like to see and go, as we shared that we had been to other market. He showed was the stores. It was nice.

Awesome city tour - Fabulous tour of Cairo city. Guide Marsil was very knowledgeable about the Coptic and Islamic heritage and history. The architecture is breathtaking. I added a sailboat ride (Feluca) which was also very nice. Beautiful way to see Cairo - from the water with a refreshing breeze. Ibrahim the driver was very good. Very careful and safe
