This was a perfect first day tour in Cairo. Ereen was so helpful in picking city sites to visit based on my group's interests. Her knowledge of Egypt's history across all periods is incredible. Also, if you are interested in shopping she knows many local vendors that sell high quality goods at reasonable prices, and they will not try to "hard sell" you. She was kind and patient, and made our experience very smooth. Wish I could give 10 stars!

Great tour with Ereen. She accommodated our desires on what to see and even scheduled a lunch at her favorite restaurant in Old Cairo, which was very good.. She is a very experienced guide and can give an educated answer to just about any questions that you might pose. She is a delight to be with and I highly recommend her as a guide if you are in Egypt.

Ereen was an outstanding tour guide for our highlights of Cairo tour. She was very responsive, detail oriented, assisted in customizing our tours & making suggestions. She was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastically answered all our questions. The timing & flow of the tour was ideal - ending with a delicious Egyptian lunch. Her guiding was easy-going and very pleasant. We all enjoyed our day with her and would highly recommend her to treat you to an informative introduction to Cairo. Thank you, Ereen! P.S. We have used Tours by Locals in the past and have never been disappointed!

This was one of many tours we undertook with Ereen during our stay in Cairo and is definitely one of the 'must do's' whilst in the city. From the initial contact with Ereen, where she answered all our questions, and helped us craft the perfect, personal visit to a very busy location. Our driver, was amazing and drove with great care and consideration for us as his passengers and between the pair of them created am amazing environment, where we could sit back and relax and take in the sights and sounds of the city and the location we were visiting. The tour was tailored to our own timings and requirements and completed at a pace that worked for us and nothing was too much. The tour took us to some of the key sights around the older parts of Cairo and would thoroughly recommend if history and culture are your thing.

Your Cairo tour itinerary

- Our day begins at the Grand Egyptian Museum, where I will introduce the most fascinating masterpieces before you enjoy free time to wander and discover on your own. Then we head to the Citadel of Saladin, a mighty fortress that once protected Cairo for centuries. Within its walls rises the beautifully decorated Mosque of Mohamed Ali, shining above the city skyline. From the hilltop you will take in a breathtaking panoramic view over Old Cairo. At the end of our journey, we drive you comfortably back to your hotel.
