Discovery of the religious history of Cairo - Paula our guide picked us up at the hotel lobby. After that we started a perfect tour through the old and historical churches and mosques in Cairo. First we visited the Muhammad Ali Mosque, where we had a nice introduction into the history. Then we continued to the Greek Orthodox and Coptic Church and the Ezra Synagogue in the old town of Cairo. The trip was very interesting and Paula explained a lot, especially how the Churches we founded and how the different religions work together. A different view. We truly recommend this tour to anybody, who's interested learning more about the lively past.

Cairo food tour - We booked a food tour in Cairo and were so blessed to be guided by the incredible Ayoub and our driver Hussein. The day was amazing, we started by having the most mouth watering Egyptian food, followed by a nice walk and finding more local drinks/sweets and foods. We were so lucky to experience the tour ran by Ayoub, he is a true asset to the company and just an all round amazing person. We are so thankful for both Ayoub and Hussein.

Old Islamic and Coptic Cairo - This was the second tour I’d taken with this company, and my guide Michu was excellent again. Friendly and very knowledgable, he was able to answer any questions, and I had lots! The architecture in this part of Cairo is stunning, well-worth seeing. Interesting too to hear about the early origins of three different religions in the city. As I found on my previous tour, being a lone, female traveller was not a problem, and I felt completely safe, almost as if I was wandering around with a friend! Highly recommended!!
