Mahmoud was an excellent guide. He took us to places on the tour that we would have never been able to do on our own. Cairo is a big crazy city and Mahmoud made it possible for us to see lots of it. I would definitely use him again if we are back in Cairo. Thanks for everything.

Por donde empezar. Digamos que desde el principio fue chocante al llevarme en moto hasta un barco por el Nilo solo para mí y durante una larga hora. Una maravilla. Luego me llevo al bazar del Cairo mas famoso de noche (una preciosidad) y me invitó a unos dulces típicos y a jugo de caña de azúcar. En todo momento atento a lo que yo quisiera hacer, a donde ir etc además de apoyarme en todo momento en el debate con algún vendedor. Supongo que no tengo palabras para la tarde noche que pase con este gurú y su amigo. Como personas encantadoras, cercanas, jóvenes y saben hacer a uno disfrutar de las pequeñas joyas escondidas del Cairo.
