We were initially nervous about visiting this area, as we didn’t want to be bombarded by vendors and simply wanted to experience the bazaar and its historic buildings. This tour — and this guide — were absolutely perfect.
Sherif is an exceptionally gifted and knowledgeable guide. He shared incredible stories, provided a detailed history of the area, and led us to some truly hidden gems. We travelled as a family (two parents with two young adult children), and Sherif engaged all of us in such a friendly, interesting, and welcoming way. His English is excellent, and his humour made the experience even more enjoyable.
I’ll admit I was sceptical of all the glowing reviews at first, but after meeting Sherif, we completely understand why his reputation is so outstanding. We cannot recommend him highly enough. This was actually our second tour with him — the day before, he guided us at the Pyramids of Giza — and I already can’t wait to return to Cairo for yet another of his tours.
This guy truly knows his stuff.

My wife and I did two tours with Sherif and they were both amazing. He is a funny, experienced and prepared guide. He was able to answer to our (many) questions and to make the long tour fly by. I would highly recommend him as a guide. Sherif is also an amazing photographer!

The market is the most crowded, noisy and annoying place in the world. But Sherif made this tour an enjoyable experience. He presented the historical facts about the buildings and took us to some quiet and beautiful parts of the market (he also offered to make us some nice pictures). We also had some time for buying some cheap suvenirs (he took us to a place where the suvenirs were way cheaper than in other stores). We always felt safe next to him and the tour was nice. But we don't recommend going to this market without a a good guide.

A good way to explore the Bazaar with its rich history. However, do keep ample time for shopping after the tour.
