Ahmed and our driver were great! Communicated well before pickup so everything went smooth! We visited several ancient Mosques and Churches and Ahmed was awesome sharing the history and religious backgrounds of all these beautiful sites! The bazaar was very nice getting to interact with all these beautiful sites locals shopping. Ahmed was our favorite guide out of the six tours we had in Egypt. He was very kind and intelligent and his English is exceptionally good! I’d highly recommend this tour!!

Very good tour of the history of the Coptic Christian Community through its various churches which have survived sinceMedieval times. Our tour guide ALI was excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable of the history, architecture , art, traditions, and beliefs of the various Coptic churches(plus a Greek Church and Synagogue) which we visited in Cairo.

On this adventure, you'll get a terrific inside look at the important religious sites of old Cairo, specifically Coptic Cairo, along with a local expert's guidance through the adventures to be found in the old market... We were most fortunate to be paired with Mr. Ali, who riffed with us on traditions, both old and new, and helped us navigate the busy market area.

We had a wonderful night time tour with Mina to take in the sights of the night markets and local destination. We also had a private nile river cruise with him and it was really fun listening to music and dancing on the nile. Really great stop in the coffee shop for some mint tea and dinner. Mina was really informative in telling us the history of everywhere we went and also kept anyone trying to sell items to us a way. Really great guide
A must see place when in Cairo

One of the places I’ve wanted to see while vacationing in Cairo. The churches that I visited were built in the 5th Century AD like the Hanging Church of the Virgin Mary, St George and Church of St Sergius this church was built in the spot where the Holy Family stayed at the end of their journey into Egypt. This place is a must visit when you come to Cairo. And if you are lucky you will get Ola who is a knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend this tour. The lunch that was included was delicious too!
Excellent Half Day Trip!!

The excellence of our experience was due to our guide Wael. His knowledge and understanding, patience and well spoken English made our trip something we will not forget. We have seen all highlights within the right amount of time, since we were interested in brief visits of the different attractions only.
