Tour of Coptic Cairo

Published on Jan, 2025

We went on a tour of Coptic Cairo with Haidy and Raafat was our driver. Haidy was very informative and the history of that area and was kind to us and our son. Raafat drove well and treated us well also.

Best Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

I really enjoyed the tour. Ms Doaa was very helpful and she has in depth knowledge about everything and she was communicating very well. Also Mr. Hesham was very generous too and I surely give them 5 out of 5.

Amazing experience, highly recommend!

Published on Jan, 2025

Haidy and Raafat were amazing! Haidy was very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly without rushing us. I would highly recommend Haidy and Raafat. My son was sick during the tour, and both Haidy and Raafat were extremely kind to my son and were concerned with his well being.

It's definitely a worthwhile tour. Our driver Maged was very skilful and safe. Our guide, Amany, went out of her way to show us as much as possible. Very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable.
