A must-do authentic afternoon

Old Cairo is probably my favorite part of the city, I came here a few times before but never with a guide. Of course it was a different experience and great choice since you understand way more and not being hassled as much. Local souq atmosphere is amazing even if you don't buy anything, I always loved the vibe. Karim was on time, he is great in communication, listens, answers, being very adaptive to your pace. If I choose to explore Cairo more in such a touristic way I'll definitely contact him again A must-do! Go for it!
