This was a memorable trip. We traveled and toured Al-Rifa'i Mosque, Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, Mosque of Muhammad Ali as well. Unfortunately our toddler and baby were passed out when we reached Amr ibn Al-A'as Mosque. So we didn’t get a chance to tour it. We took some great photos and history nonetheless. Our guide Marwa was very helpful with the kids while giving us a great tour.

We saw all the amazing sites in Islamic Cairo, but did not have a very good experience with the tour guide. His English was quite poor and so he didn't do a good job of explaining what we were seeing and their history. When I asked him questions, he often responded with "I don't know". I ended up reading the Lonely Planet guide at each stop rather than listening to him. I wish he had given us more time to properly see everything, rather than rushing us, especially at Khan el Khalili. I would have also preferred he let us eat lunch privately as a family. Overall, this tour is good to transport you from site-to-site with an Arabic-speaker, but don't expect to learn new things about the sites you are seeing.

Sam was an incredible tour guide! Super knowledgeable about all sites. We were on a shorter timeline, so he kindly accommodated - picked us up at our hotel at 8:30am and dropped us back off by 12:30pm (12:20pm). He was very kind. Would definitely recommend!!

The guide we had, Reina, was excellent. We visited several mosques, and she was very informative about all. We went to the market. My wife and I were interested in some specific items (masks for me), and she helped us find the perfect ones. She also treated us to an authentic Egyptian meal. If you are in Cairo, you should definitely take this tour.

The tour guide assigned to us from Emo Tours was terrible! His name was Mohammed. It was a six hour tour that was only three hours due to his lack of guidance. We only saw the Salah El-Din Castle and Al Rifai Mosque. We were not taken to the other two mosques on the Viator itinerary. When walking us around the mosques, he was on his phone the whole time and only wanted to take photos of proof that he took us to a mosque for his reviews. He took us to Khan Al-Khalili but he made it a bad experience telling us everything there is fake and “made in China”. He kept telling us that he can take us to places off the itinerary. He only showed us the first two mosques in 15 minutes. He was not helpful and completely neglecting during the tour. On the ride back, he put his AirPods in and listened to music and bragged about his wife being a doctor and then begged for a tip because he has two kids. He was not being engaging as our tour guide. I would not recommend him to help other tourists as this was a bad experience. I reached out to Emo Tours and they refuse to give me back a refund for basically a 15 minute tour. Very poor customer service! But expected! Choose another tour agency!!

My friend and I being Muslims absolutely knew we had to do this tour during our time in Egypt! Our fantastic tour guide Eesaam was amazing with his knowledge of Islamic history, noting the differences in design for the different mosques/masjids. We were blown away by the beauty and the deep rich Islamic history of each masjid we visited. We even saw the prominent tombs of important Islamic figures in history which was a special experience. We were spiritually healed and could not be more grateful to our amazing tour guide Eesaam he went above and beyond for us. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Islamic history! We will remember this for years to come. A and S

The best way to strart the first day at Cairo. Our tour guide Sayed Mahmud and our driver Mohammad Basha was great. They showed us all the places in the tour and even more. Sayed patiently described everything for us and he really listened to what we wanted. Highly recommended, we are booking some more tours for the upcoming days after this great experience.
