Traveler reviews
Highly Recommended Egypt: Islam and Coptic Tour with Aya!
I had a fantastic time on the Islamic and Coptic Cairo Tour with Aya. It was a full day of exploration, immersing myself in the rich history and culture of both Islam and Coptic Christianity. We visited the most significant landmarks, and Aya was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights throughout the tour. To top it off, she surprised me with a lunch cruise on the Nile — a thoughtful gesture that I truly appreciated, especially since I was planning to book it separately. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend Aya for an enriching and memorable tour in Cairo. Thank you, Aya! I had so much fun!
Getting a look at history...
Wonderful time with Amira and Ahmed on this tour. It was very informative and no details were missed. Lunch was delicious and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Mena is the best!
Mena will take photos very kindly! Knowing boyfriend's English isn't very good, it will help with simple words! The whole journey was very smooth (But the airport check-out will be charged 15 yen, we hope to let you know in advance when booking the trip)
