Tour de medio día a la Iglesia de la Cueva de San Simón

Our guide was late (10 minutes), I know there is traffic but they should plan accordingly. Once she arrived we saw some local sites from the car, and then headed to the cave church. We had to travel through this area called “garbage town” and then you arrive to this beautiful church carved into a mountain. Just beautiful. It was a great tour. Hearing the history and seeing all the beautiful carvings throughout the church. Lunch is good. I would recommend this tour to my family and friends

Could not ask for more ! Thank you Isaac for such an incredible journey into a history of Coptic culture and St Simon monastery. What a beautiful gem it is! Incredible atmosphere and stunning views around. The Cave church is a must visit when you in Cairo. Go there!

Interesting day...Traveled through the community that is responsible for collecting and sorting then selling garbage in order to reach the early Christian "cave churches" carved out of sandstone nearly 2000 years ago under great persecution. Then some shopping and a nice lunch

Good and bad. We stared good on the tour but our tour guide never took us to see The Cave Church of Saint Simon. Our guide tour took us to a store claiming he need it to stop at a cousin to talk to. We spend more than 1/2 hr at the store as his cousin/vendor was trying to sell us something. When we asked him about going to see the cave he stared by saying that he was not sure where it was. He made a phone call and after that he said that to get there we needed to pass a bad neighborhood. Sad to hear this. If you book this tour hope they stick to your program. We missed seeing the Cave Church o
