Not your typical free walking tour. It was like going for a walk with an old friend. Kamal genuinely wanted to share about Cairo’s history, culture, language, and social norms. He was also interested in learning from others. If I didn’t have an early morning tour then we could have continued for even longer. He even waited after to make sure that my Uber driver to the hotel didn’t try to cheat me. Highly recommend!!!
The night before the tour he confirmed the tour but at midnight he sent a message that he had an emergency and could not make it.
The tour was great but the organisation was a bit odd. I signed up for the tour and the guide contacted me that I was the only person to sign up for the tour. He asked if I could move it but this was the only available time I had. He then asked me to book the same free tour on another site to guarantee the tour would take place. Fine. I was waiting at the agreed meeting place and he messaged me to come to the museum. A little odd but ok. The tour itself was awesome! A lot of humour and interesting stories. We hit all of the museum highlights in just over an hour. I was put on the spot to leave a trip advisor review 3 different times during the tour. I said that I would leave a review after the tour. From the tour description there were supposed to be a few sites outside of the museum but he said the tour was only the museum. Don’t get me wrong, the tour inside of the museum was great but I didn’t care for getting pressured to multiple times to leave a review on the spot. I would still recommend the tour.
Very informative, well structured.
