Our Tours Reviews
Premium experience with a small group of same mind explorers
Sam
Proper planning, attention to details and room for improvisation is what sets “Walk Like An Egyptian” apart from the rest. This has been the second tour for my partner and myself with the friendly Walk Like An Egyptian team.
In addition to his vast knowledge of the visit site, our guide Assem knows when to pause for people to reflect, ask questions or snap photos.
I thoroughly enjoyed the visit and look forward to the next one.
Many thanks Asma & Assem for another enjoyable tour 🙂

I have done a few outings with Walk Like an Egyptian in Cairo.. I’m already signed up for the next outing! These trips are an incredible way to learn about Cairo and Egypt’s history, and they make the city feel more manageable — not an easy task. The small group setting and repeat attendees makes it feel more like a group of friends than a tour group, and the mix of foreigners and local Cairenes is fantastic.
