Essam (from EMO Tours Egypt) was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of the sites visited and explained things clearly and concisely. He was also extremely friendly and one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We both would highly recommend him. It was great value for what we spent.

Great tour to do if you want to spend a chill day learning the history in Cairo and the religious history of Egypt. Do it after the pyramids so it feels like a walk through time.
