Ingy was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful in touring the Coptic Quarter. She also helped one of the guest who has handicapped through the tour. I highly recommend Ingy - she made this tour memorable.
This is an outstanding tour. If you really want a personal experience of the history this is the tour for you. You will be taken to the sites and told amazing information about what you are seeing. Ingy was a fantastic guide and patient with all questions. On top of the sites, we had a wonderful meal. This tour far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend!
We were able to see amazing sites and our guide Enjy was great. She was very knowledgeable and kept us on the go the whole time while making the experience very informative. Many tours do not include the churches of Mokattam. And we felt this part of the trip was the highlight for us.
