Essential Free walking tours of Cairo

Super interesting tour! We visited great spots and the guide Ahmed is very knowledgeable and also made it really enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Sherif was just amazing. We had a nice experience with him, we loved his history and how he did. He is a professional guide, he is proud of his history as Egyptian and last but not least he made us the nicest photos we have.

We had an incredible experience on the Islamic Old Cairo walking tour with Islam. Right from the start, he showed how accommodating he is - we were stuck in heavy traffic on our way to the meeting point, but Islam was incredibly patient and made us feel at home immediately. Islam is clearly an expert in his field; his knowledge of the history and architecture is profound. What truly set this tour apart was his excellent English, which was very clear and easy to understand. Beyond the history of the stunning mosques and the Old Town, he shared fascinating stories about daily life in Cairo and Egypt today. It gave us a much deeper, more authentic impression of the city. We were really happy that we have done this tour. Thank your very much Islam!!!

Islam is a very good guide. I have taken a fair number of paid and free tours and I would rate him 12/10. He is a very good speaker, very attentive- took photos of everyone and amazing one at that , kind and patient in this chaotic city of Cairo. Would definately recommend him! He also had a surprise for us in the end and do not want to spoil it for other travellers so will keep it a secret!

I had an absolutely fantastic market tour and can highly recommend it! 🌟 From the very first moment, everything felt authentic, relaxed, and incredibly enjoyable. Walking through the market was a true highlight — full of colors, smells, local life, and hidden spots you would never discover on your own. What made this tour really special was the personal connection with Kamal. It didn’t feel like a standard tour at all, but more like exploring the market with a friend. The conversations, the laughs, and the overall atmosphere made it a truly memorable experience. I felt very comfortable the entire time and appreciated the kindness, openness, and genuine energy. It was not just interesting, but also emotionally uplifting and simply fun. If you want a real, local, and unforgettable experience — this tour is a must. Highly recommended! ✨

We had an amazing tour with Islam. He guided us through the top sites of Cairo, sharing a lot of useful, well presented and entertaining information about the places we visited, as well as curiosities about Egypt in general. He shared food suggestions with us as well, took us to shops in the bazars with very good and honest pricing and even bought us some tasty snacks at the end! Would totally reccommend!

I recommend to do a tour with Ahmed. He was super profesional, patient and a really nice person. I was the only one in the tour and he did is as well, he works with small groups which make the tour personalized for everybody.

El tour de Hossamito fue muy interesante. Nos compartió información muy valiosa y de una manera entretenida sobre su cultura y su ciudad. Fue una experiencia agradable.

Fui con mi familia al tour, Hossam fue super agradable con nosotros, nos resolvió todas las dudas que teníamos y nos hizo vivir un poco una experiencia más humana y real de la vida en El Cairo. Muy recomendable para salir de la rutina más turística y para tener un nuevo amigo en Egipto 🇪🇬

We loved our time with Islam. He had a wide knowledge of the city’s history and found an entertaining way to transfer it. He was very polite and super friendly and super helpful. We would not hesitate to do another tour with him.

Fantástico tour por el centro del Cairo, mi novio y yo quedamos impresionados de la historia que nos contó. Un auténtico encanto Hossam y perfecto profesional.

It was a great tour. We loved it. Highly recommend

It was a great experience and we loved the tour. Highly recommend

Islam is the best free walking, guide or guide we have ever had. He was very funny and kind. He showed us a lot of cool things and new perspectives from a local. He also told us about good places to eat and possible scams and was kind enough to buy us food from a local place so it would be cheaper for us truly the best guide ever love him.Answered a lot of questions and was very funny

Islam was a Perfect guide. I can Only suggest him

Mahmoud is amasing. I reccomend his tour with all my heart.

Islam is an outstanding guide, he was fun and very detailed about the interesting facts of the places we visited. We had a great time at the mosques and the market, sharing lots of fascinating information. Highly recommended for experiencing the market in a unique way and appreciating its details.

He was friendly, entertaining and made the tour fun!!🙂

We can highly recomment this extraordinaty tour with Sherif who has all the important information, further insights (because he works at the archeological side) and btw knows all the best spots for taking picutres. Since he knows a lot of people working there, he makes sure you don‘t get scammed by others. If you want to have a unique experience combined with a lot of professional information and fun, you need to book a tour with Sherif :)

Very enjoyable Great vibe Went out of his way to help us

It was a very informative and interesting tour. It was only me on the tour and Ahmed gave me a lot of information about the Cairo Citadel and the different mosques as well as Islam and Egyptian history in general. He is a very knowledgeable and professional guide. I highly recommend this tour.

We joined this free walking tour of Cairo and were welcomed by Kamal who was genuinely warm, attentive, and full of passion for the city. You could really tell he puts his heart into it! The tour was quite information-rich, which for some visitors might take a little extra focus to fully absorb. We would have loved to explore a few more spots along the way, but overall it was an interesting introduction to Cairo's history and culture as well as Egyptian society and politics. With a little more structure and pacing, this could easily become one of the standout free tours in the city. We wish Kamal all the best and hope to see him continue to grow in his craft!

Amazing tour ! Mahmoud is a really great guide, kind and very passionate !

We had a great time with Khalid, and visited places we would not have seen. Thank you

It was on our last day that we booked this tour with Mahmoud, and I can say it was the cherry on top of our trip to Cairo. Mahmoud is very funny, smart and kind,everything you could want from a guide. He even does something very interesting during the tour that we had never seen before. I won’t describe it so you can be as surprised as we were. 10/10 — strongly recommend!
