Essential Free walking tours of Cairo

Our time in Cairo was truly enhanced by our incredible guide, Ahmed. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and made exploring the city's rich history both fun and insightful. One of the highlights was when he took us to try the famous Egyptian dish, Koshary, at Abou Tarek—an absolute must when in Cairo! Ahmed made sure every detail of our visit was perfect and took great care of us throughout. We’re so grateful for his guidance and hospitality. Thank you, Ahmed!

Sharif was an exceptional tour guide—his passion for Egypt’s history is truly infectious. He didn’t just share facts; he told stories, complete with plot twists and cliffhangers, that kept us hooked the entire time. Every detail about the pyramids came alive through his vivid storytelling. If you’re even remotely interested in the history of the pyramids, I can’t recommend this experience enough.

Fue una experiencia muy agradable. Islam fue muy entretenido en su forma de explicar su historia y su cultura. Y aun no sintiéndose del todo bien, siguió hacia adelante hasta el final, lo cual muestra su profesionalismo. Nos encantó el tour. Lo recomiendo

Kamal is very welcoming and genuine in his approach. He has a deep knowledge of the city of wider aspects of Egyptian life and culture. This tour is a must do for anyone who wants to learn something new and see Cairo through the eyes of a local. We had sich a nice evening :)

Sherif was very knowledgeable and kind. We learned so many things and had so much fun, he even showed us the best photo spots in the pyramid complex. Very recommended

Sherif was a great tour guide, went into detail about every point and answered alot of questions my son had. Were very happy with our decision in taking him as our tour guide for the pyramids.

Islam was the best guide we had during our trip in Egypt. He spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable. I am quite demanding when it comes to tour guide and he definetly met the expectation.

The tour was really great, it was just the two of us but it hasn’t been a problem for Mohammed! The tour lasted three hours and it was really entertaining and full of information. thanks to his two masters Mohammed knows a lot and really wants to transmit his knowledge. He also offered to take pictures of us that are really great! Very professional and knowledgeable and fun!

Sherif did the BEST TOUR EVER ❤️ thank you so much!

We had such a cool and slightly crazy experience on the free walking tour through Old Cairo! Our guide, Islam, was incredibly kind and patient — he even waited for us despite the chaotic traffic that made us arrive late. He guided us confidently through the lively bazaar, showed us amazing hidden cafés, and took us to a great spot for buying fixed-price souvenirs. To top it all off, he invited us to enjoy a local meal together. Islam made the tour feel personal and authentic — highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real Cairo!

Sherif was an excellent guide for our free walking tour at the Pyramids of Giza! He’s a true professional — extremely well-prepared, full of background knowledge, and a great entertainer. We received plenty of useful information even before the tour started, which really helped us get the most out of the experience. During the tour, Sherif answered all our questions with confidence and depth, and made the entire visit both fun and educational. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Giza!

I enjoy listening to people like Kamal coz he has energy and life in their voice. Also, he made sure to answer on all our questions and requests... I recommend it 😊

We booked a tour and we were surprised that we got a private tour. We met Ahmed on time at the Tahrir square. The tour was a nice variation between historic places and local experiences. Ahmed took good care of us. We've got bottles of water and a snack at the start and we ended the tour with a good plate of koshari. Thanks Ahmed!

Very nice tour, perfect for a first day in Cairo to discover the area and get a sense of the city and its history. Islam was very friendly and went the extra mile to get us info about some other activities and restaurants. Really recommend it!

Kamal is the best tour guide I've ever had. He is intelligent and has a lot of knowledge about Egyptian society, politics, and history. He has a golden heart. My friend and I had the opportunity to have dinner with him after the tour, and he took us to a wonderful place to eat. Thank you very much Kamal.

Fantastic tour with Sherif in very good english with fun and exitement ! Our best guru tour ever ! 10 points for Sherif 😄

Mahmoud was excellent very informative and interesting, added bonus was his singing performance which made the mosque even more magical! Great tour!

Wow what can we say? Sherif is an expert in his field and we learnt so much from him. He also challenged us with his questions and made us think.

Mahmoud was excellent. He was professional and imparted a lot of interesting facts on the tour. Highly recommended.

Very informative and friendly!

Very pleasant experience! Islam was clear, friendly and made the whole tour feel easy and enjoyable

Really great guide, knowledgeable, excellent English, respectful, humble, fun and great at managing different individual interests in the group (history, shopping, pictures). He also stayed extra time with us and was very easy going / relaxed all the time. Definitely recommended - I myself have lived in Cairo for years and still learnt a lot from him

Sherif was incredible, funny and well educated about all things to do with the history of the pyramids. Very interesting tour and gives you lots of local advice. 100% recommend

Islam was the kindest most respectful and intelligent tour guide I’ve ever had. He really takes him time to explain the religious differences in Islam that I never knew before. Gained lots of new knowledge and felt safe with him taking us through the busy bazaar. 100% recommend him!

We much enjoyed Mahmoud‘s walking tour around the Cairo Citadel. Mahmoud is a knowledgeable and friendly guide with a wealth of information. You can feel his passion for Egypt, its history and culture; it shines through his explanations. It was a great introduction for us to Cairo and we would recommend Mahmoud and his tour.
