Recommended!

Hazem was the best guide to discover the Cittadella in Cairo. He started by revising the history of Egypt/Cairo and then showed us around the beautiful mosques. He was detailed and professional, moreover he was very nice and pleasant so highly recommended!

Fantastico

La guida è riuscita a coinvolgerci durante tutto il percorso, spiegando storia e curiosità in modo semplice ma interessante. Inoltre, i tempi erano perfetti: né troppo veloci né troppo lenti. Consiglio assolutamente questo tour a chiunque voglia vivere un’esperienza autentica senza stress. Rifarei tutto senza pensarci due volte.
