Clear filterCairo’s Coptic History
Published on Dec, 2024
This was a very interesting tour and we learnt a lot about Cairo’s history. Our guide, Essam was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history. He also ensured we felt safe at all times especially in the busy market. Our driver Asharf was also great. We would definitely recommend this tour!
Excellent Guide, Nice Tour
Published on Nov, 2024
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
Published on Sep, 2024
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!!
Published on Dec, 2023
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.
