Aya was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about the religious histories surrounding Cairo. As someone whose area is in religious studies and theology, this was a must-see tour. Lunch was also delicious, with Aya also explaining the different sweets and food items. Would definitely recommend this tour and Aya as a guide!

Top organization. The plane, transportation, excursion, everything was just great. And our guide Dina was a gem 👍 She was attentive, very kind and very knowledgeable (she is a historian, after all!). And Cairo is a magnificent city, with no particular issues. I highly recommend this excursion with Dina.

An exceptional museum with lots to discover, a beautiful citadel, and a very enjoyable tour of Old Cairo. However, I think the price is a little too high. Unfortunately, the restaurant chosen was too touristy.
