Osama, our guide, and Omar, our driver, were both absolutely fantastic, making the experience amazing and in really high standards. They picked us up from the hotel on time, and they made us feel privileged from the tour as Osama knew so many details, and he answered all the questions we had. The lunch was delicious in a traditional restaurant. Please do not skip to tip the guys. They totally deserve it, and you will have an unforgettable experience anyway. Thank you Osama and Omar for the great day we had.

Thanks for him, I could know much more about the places I visited, and it will remain as unforgettable memory. Also, I felt so safe in the new places because he consistently assisted me and checked if I needed anything. It was my perfect choice and I really recommend to everyone who wants to make meaningful experience in Cairo.
