We enjoyed the free walking tour very much and learned a lot! The tour gives a good overview of the Coptic and Islamic Cairo. All the questions we had were answered professionally. We felt that we were in very good hands. Thanks again!

En rigtig fin tur med højdepunkterne fra Citadellet og koptiske Kristne Kairo. Yousef tog sig pænt af os, sørgede for vand i varmen ect. og delte fint sin viden om de besøgte steder. Som et plus er han en dygtig fotograf som sikre at du får fine billeder af dig selv Turen kan varmt anbefales.

The tour was nice. The guide was very friendly and informative. There was a lot of ground area to cover but he was very patient to repeat information as my wife was asking questions to complete her vlog. All the places we visited, he would provide the information and history first, then take lovely photos of us and then give a few minutes to check out the place ourselves. He provided us with (free) water at one point. We also took a trip in a van from one point to the other, without paying anything. I was using a pram for my son throughout the tour. Most parts of the tour are pram friendly. I managed where it wasn't. Youssef was careful and mindful of this fact and was always at a look out for us. He was friendly towards my son as well. At some point, my son was quite cranky. To calm him, Youssef offered a part of his keychain to my son, which my son gladly took (and we forgot to return at the end of the tour). Apologies and thank you Youssef.
