5.00I got already very good feedback from this tour and my expectations were more than fulfilled. The guide Mina put everything in context and explained with passion the history of Christians and moslims in Egypt. The chuches, synagoge and modus were beautiful. The driver George was very safe. The touroperator was Bishoo. I highly recommend this tour.
Guide Marsil and driver Gerges immersed us in the religous & cultural history of Cairo, taking in ancient places of worship fini

5.00Bishoo was very knowledgeable and informative about all the sites and history. It was interesting to get both Coptic and Islamic views and how they have evolved. Even brought us an Egyptian sweet to try. Was also very helpful and supportive of other issues we are facing with another travel and tourism company.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with our amiable guide, Marsil. She was very responsive, she got in touch the day before to confirm the time and venue. We were picked up from our hotel promptly. She was quite knowledgeable and shared a great deal of information regarding the sites. She gave us time to explore and take photos.

5.00We were incredibly lucky to have this guide in Cairo, Egypt. From the very first moment, he was polite, calm, and genuinely welcoming. His knowledge of Egyptian history is deep and solid, but what truly sets him apart is how he shares it — with clarity, passion, and ease. Always open to questions and conversations, never rigid or rushed. The experience felt smooth, respectful, and surprisingly light, even in places rich with intensity and symbolism. An amazing guide: knowledgeable without being overwhelming, professional without being distant, and easy-going in the best possible way. He elevated our entire journey through Cairo, Egypt. Highly recommended — truly unforgettable.
