The guide was at the meeting point on time. The tour went towards downtown Cairo. The restaurant (vegetarian) was a good recommendation. At the end we had ice cream. Everything was perfect.

Our downtown Cairo tour with Mina was absolutely fantastic! Mina is an outgoing and friendly guide! He was informative, and enjoyable to be with. He showed us some special secret sites of the city… And even made accommodations for us to see some of the things that we wanted to see. He took us to popular patisserie for ice cream and a really good place for dinner for Shawarma! Yummy! He then took us on a metro to see another part of downtown Cairo, and also made sure that we were safe to our final destination back to the hotel. If you have a chance you should get Mina as your guide! He was cognizant of what we wanted to
see as well as flexible and accommodating ! Thank you Mina for a great evening on our last night in Cairo!

We booked this tour for the afternoon of arrival. I had real reservations given we had been in transit for nearly 20 hours.
Once the tour started all reservations were put to the side.
This was our first of 4 tours with Mina as our guide. Mina was amazing and explained the local history so well.
He also made us feel like extremely comfortable in a city we had no idea how to explore.
The dinner was delicious and a local dish, which made me wanting to explore more of the local cuisine.
Highly recommend as an introduction to Cairo.

My husband and I did the downtown Cairo walking tour with our guide Mina and it was excellent. The passion he had for his homeland and it’s history, people and culture was evident. He went the extra mile to ensure our experience including the local dinner and fantastic Egyptian ice cream was both fun and informative. Mina also assisted us when our Uber account would not connect and ensured that we got home safely via his account. Thank you Mina for a 10/10 experience, we could not recommend Mina more highly.

The walking tour into downtown Cairo with our guide Noha was a fantastic experience! Noha was so welcoming and knowledgeable, and her confidence in navigating the city whilst managing all of our well-being (going above and beyond) instantly put me at ease in a very chaotic environment!!
The traditional meal was delicious, and getting to ride the metro with the locals was an absolute highlight of my trip to Egypt. Would absolutely recommend this tour and Noha.

My tour guide was amazing. He not only gave a good historical tour of the city but he gave me a brief glimpse of the day to day lives of the people that call this city home and for a moment I too felt a part of the city. To experience the city not as a tourist or a traveller but as a welcomed friend. Feeding the street kitties water and riding the Metro with locals made me feel as if it were my home too if only just for moment.

My downtown Cairo tour with Mina as my guide was a unique experience, being able to intertwine with the Egyptian locals was an eye opener.
There was no in-between, locals are either busy getting on with it or relaxing in their own way. Many shops, many restaurants & many things to see.
My experience was customised by Mina which made it very enjoyable, for example I wanted to experience the Sheesha scene. Mina took me to one of the go-to spots where everyone was friendly and the Sheesha/Tea which were both very more-some.
Being a westerner and not being able to speak Arabic language, I surprisingly did not feel out of place.
Standouts:
Local KOSHARY!!! (Tasty national dish based on pasta, chickpeas, lentils and tomato-based sauce)
Suit maker stores - amazing variety of suits on display.
Sheesha cafes - very chilled out and enjoyable product.
Rawness of experiencing the Cairo streets.
Nile river cafe cruises.
My guide Mina made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. His knowledge and passion for Egypt as a country will get you excited.

Tour guide (Mahmoud) - friendly, welcoming, knowledgable. Made us feel quite safe yet allowed us to explore. His knowledge of the city and its history really gave us a good understanding of down town Cairo. He also kept us guarded and secure. Explained everything and continuously beckoned us to ask questions.
Route - quite an experience to walk through the hustle and bustle, but so much fun. A walk through everyday life and culture. Seeing the rel sort of Egypt and its wholesomeness made me smile continuously.
Food - from the main meal to the dessert and drink - what a treat. That’s all I’m going to say.
Over all - great tour.
