Cairo Cave Church Monastery St Simon Garbage City Private Tour

We took this tour to see the Cave Church and Garbage City. Our driver, Raafat, was very nice and a great driver, which we appreciated. However, before the actual trip started, we were taken to multiple shops. We tried our best to refuse these stops as we just wanted to get to our destination, but we were taken anyway, which was a bit frustrating. Once we actually got on our way, the drive through Garbage City was a truly unique experience, and the guide we had at the Cave Church was incredibly informative. Overall, a good trip, just be prepared to firmly push back on the pre-tour and post-tour

We booked super last minute but the agency was super communicative and flexible! Had a great tour of Cave Church, highly recommend going!

Great tour by Selvia of the Coptic quarter. She was very knowledgeable about all the details and we’ve learned quite a bit from our time with her. Also good that we availed of a tour guide for our visit since this area is quite complicated to explore. Pick up and return was good and timely. Thanks.

Got more than I expected. Raafat was super friendly and we stopped at several shops in addition to Garbage city and the church.

Unser Fahrer Raafat hat uns eine wunderschöne Zeit in Kairo beschert. Er hat uns zu seriösen Shops gebracht, wir haben wundervolle Sachen ergattert, bei sehr freundlichen und nicht aufdringlichen Menschen. Wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Ich würde ihm 11/10 Sternen geben! Wir hatten einen halben Tag mit Raafat & von der Musik im Auto bis zu seiner tollen, sympathischen und lustigen Art war einfach alles ein Traum! Danke danke danke für diese wunderschönen Erinnerungen! P.S.: everyone deserves a Raafat in his life 💕

Raafat was extremely knowledgeable about the area and we talked about recycling and culture on the way to and from the Cave church. The tour with Magda at the church was also very informative!
