Well here is the thing everything was good until I find out that the tour also included a visit to the Mosques and my tour guide never told me about it.I just realized when I was about to write this review by checking the tour description once again. So I felt like I was lied. At the beginning of the tour I told the tour guide Mohammad that I will not go to the museum because I went the day before. But he didn't mention the mosques . so I asked the tourist guide to drop me off at Cairo tower since we finished the tour early. But I would have rather go to visit the Mosques. the next day I went to visit the mosques on my own using Uber. and it was pretty easy. So I recommend you to do not use this tour companies you can still have fun on your own and actually you can save more money and read about the history of the places on internet. So I am very disappointed. the company name is Daily Tours Egypt.

Mohammad was very thorough and knowledgeable. We had a really nice tour of the Egyptian Museum and Old Cairo. He walked us through the museum and we saw all of the must-sees. He is definitely an expert and really immersed us in the tour. The museum was a little long, so only recommended for those who can walk that much. We got a chance to walk quickly through the grand bazaar which was unplanned, but really cool too. Old City Cairo was fascinating and definitely worth seeing. We packed a lot into one day so it was tiring for sure, but Mohammad did a great job of giving us as much history as possible in a short amount of time.
