Amazing tour company - Ayoub our tour guide was great. He had planned the whole day to miss all of the crowds to allow us a more personalized visit. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took time to explain each locations history in great detail. He also was kind enough to stop to get us drinks, several times during the tour. The driver Sfeena, perfectly navigated us through the busy Cairo streets. Carefully picking us up at locations to minimize unnecessary additional walking, which in hot Cairo weather is appreciated.
