Great tour to do if you want to spend a chill day learning the history in Cairo and the religious history of Egypt. Do it after the pyramids so it feels like a walk through time.

One the best experiences we have had in Cairo! Our tour guide, Sayed Amin, was exceptional - he is a fount of knowledge and took us to the best places at all the locations we visited.
We learned a lot about the beliefs of the people of ancient Egypt, and how those beliefs shaped the main religions in Egypt/the world today. And, of course, we took amazing photos along the way :) Definitely recommend the tour and Sayed's services.
