What an amazing day with Yousef! I felt comfortable, safe and happy all day. He is so knowledgeable about Cairo and so generous with his stories and laughter. He was on time for the hotel pickup and continued to be organized all day as we covered so many parts of the city. If you have time, don’t miss a tour with Yousef and Cecilia Tours! You will feel like you are a part of Cairo.
