Abduo was amazing! The mosque was under construction and he went above and beyond to deliver a wonderful experience for us. Will keep him in mind for future tours and visits :)

Dos puntos del tour estaban en construcción así que el guía decidió omitirlos directamente sin sustituirlos por otra cosa. Nos llevaba corriendo y parecía que recitaba la información de memoria, no nos dejaba pararnos apenas. Al finalizar el tour pedía mínimo 10 dólares por cabeza obligatoriamente, personalmente en otra situación, habríamos pagado sin problema, pero el tour apenas duró una hora y no vimos prácticamente nada de lo prometido. Cuando le dimos lo que teníamos, ya que además somos estudiantes y no tenemos mucho dinero, se puso muy agresivo y dijo que era obligatorio pagarle. Intentamos dialogar con él hasta que me arrancó el dinero de la mano de forma brusca y se fue insultándonos.

Abduo was great! He shared a lot of information about the area. He also knew when tour groups would be arriving at the main sites, so he planned accordingly and we often found ourselves alone for a little while in the churches or synagogue. He moves quickly and speaks quickly, but there's a lot to see, so it works!

The guide Abduo is a wealth of good information with a lovely sense of humor. Very well organized and responsive answering all questions we had prior to the tour. Can recommend any tour with Abduo. The old Cairo walk tour brought us to places we didn't know and it felt great to have Abduo with us leading the way and providing the explanations and pointing on small things.
