We are so happy we did this trip and we will recommend it to anyone who is visiting Cairo. It was a very good and unique experience. Our guide, Mary, was excellent.

Amazing tour to get to see a different side of Cairo by visiting a mosque, christain churches, and synagogue. The drive through garbage city was very eye opening and somewhat sad; it's something I wouldn't have been able to do on my own.
I had Yomna as my guide and she was exceptionally knowledgeable in Egypt's history. She also shared stories and insights about life in Cairo. I can't recommend her highly enough!
The driver was very professional and kept us safe contending with both Cairo traffic and the roads after heavy rainfall.

It was a very nice experience to take this trip with Mahmoud. We saw a lot of interesting places and Mahmoud shared a lot of history and nice anecdotes. He is a very fun guy to hang out with and we had a great time
