Mosque and Church tour - It was amazing to see all the different old mosques and churches in Cairo. Our guide Ola took us around the Muhammad Ali mosque and the Amr ibn al as mosque as well as several different Coptic churches. We had a blast and I would recommend her for taking a tour guide.

Cairo Tour with Ola and Sam - This was an amazing tour of some of the more religious sights in Cairo. Ola was a wonderful guide that gave us some great information about each place and helped make the process of passing through some of the security checkpoints a breeze. She was also flexible in changing some of the tour sights for what we were interesting like adding the Egyptian Museum at the end. Sam was also a great driver that helped navigate us through the crazy traffic in Cairo. If you have some extra time in Cairo after checking out the pyramids this is a wonderful option. The highlights for our tour were the Cairo Citadel, Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and the Egyptian Museum (a must for seeing the mask of King Tut).

10 out 10, great tour and lunch.... - At Ali's suggestion we started early at 8 am and saw all the sights in the relative cool of the morning. The tour is certainly all-inclusive with excellent commentary and knowledge with free time to "DIY" and take pictures, supplied tickets provide for entry where required. Ali adapted to our pace and we were able to accomplish everything on the agenda as promised. Excellent tour, highly recommended. Be certain to request, Ali Nagoya his knowledge is very broad and good and will engage you and discuss the historical aspects of Islam, Christianity to give you the full picture of certain religious sites.

Wonderful place - Family of 6( grandparents, parents, children) had a very good experience in Islamic and Coptic Cairo with Ola and her driver. The knowledge of our guide was huge, taking us to mesmerising places. They reorganised the tour for our taste, what we appreciated so much. Also the lunch was good for us… thanks for the experience family Juhasz

A completely moving religious experience full of history. Don’t miss this tour! - Ali is an amazing guide! We enjoyed our tour with him so much yesterday, that we booked today’s Coptic tour with him, and another private guided tour tomorrow. Being able to experience the mosques, synagogue, and Coptic churches today with such an experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly guide enhanced the experience significantly. It was such a touching experience when we asked Ali questions about his religion and the practices and prayers and how respectful and patient he was in answering. With the Coptic churches, he gave us history and also our own time to look around and I was able to reflect and pray in my religion. He pointed out many things such as where the holy family stayed when they were in Egypt, and where Moses was found in addition to many other things. I highly recommend this private tour!

Fantastic tour with Mona and Middo! - Fantastic experience with Mona and Middo! I had a truly great time visiting Islamic and Coptic Egypt as a solo female. Mona knew exactly how to show me the best spots and she took lovely photos. She’s chock full of historical information and she has a great sense of humor. Middo the driver navigated us safely through the insanity of Cairo traffic. Lunch was delicious as well. Don’t hesitate to book this tour, and see if you can get Mona and Middo. Thank you for my wonderful introduction to Cairo!

Excellent Tour that gets away from the pyramids. - Had an excellent time with my guide Wael Saber who treated me as a brother showing me the love he has for Cairo. Touring The Citadel set the stage with its impressive architecture and great view of the city. Wael was a veritable fountain of historical knowledge about each site we visited and I felt I learned so much about the rich history of Cairo.

Excellent day trip in the old city of Cairo - Excellent day visiting the citadel, Islamic and Coptic sights and Khan-Al-Khalili. Donia was a superb guide who expertly showed us the architecture and history of old Cairo. The trip had the right balance of guided tour and time to explore ourselves. Highly recommended for anyone interested in visiting the old city.

Breathtaking scenery and monuments with a remarkable tour guide, our new friend! - As Italian New Zealanders travelling to the Middle East/North Africa for the very first time, we didn’t know what to expect after hearing negative things about Egypt in the media and from various people. However, Sam, our tour guide showed us the truth. Egypt is a truly fantastic and safe country full of amazing history and friendly people like Sam. He was a gentle and kind tour guide, who even bought us fresh local produce from street vendors around Cairo and helped us navigate the crowded but lovely Khan el Khalili Bazaar. His information was clear, very informative and went beyond the superficial historical information on all the areas of Cairo that we visited during the tour. My family and I especially recommend this tour. If you are travelling as a family and are unsure how to navigate this city of 22.1 million, Sam will treat you as a member of his family supporting each member of the groups individual needs. If you are visiting Cairo or, interested in visiting, we highly recommend what has been an outstanding tour and visit to some of Cairo’s most beautiful and religious sites.

Not just any trip, a trip with a new friend - I toured with Menna, a young ambitious woman who just graduated and started to work as a guide. Although she was few years younger than me, her clear and informative explanations helped me precisely understand the grand and vast religious history of Egypt. Also she was able to answer my questions related to religion, culture and the general history of Egypt. I especially recommend this tour if you are a solo female traveler, who wants to feel as if you are traveling with a long friend of yours. (Also if you want to visit Khan el Khalili market without dealing with the shop owners directly) I felt nothing inconvenient during the whole trip and Menna was extremely supportive of me and my needs. If you are visiting Cairo and are interested in visiting these religious sites, I deeply recommend you to participate in this tour.
