An unbelievably fantastic day trip. Our guide Heba, knowledgeable & friendly, Arrived on time for pick up, went to the most beautiful mosques, churches & synagogues, passed though Garbage City, where the local population (known as Jabeleens) men, women, children lived and worked amongst the recycling, an eye-opener into where the rubbish of Cairo goes and what happens to it. An emotional but interesting experience. We were lucky to share the "call to prayer" and witness the "washing abultions" and segration of men/women going to pray. An emotional, touching feeling. A fantastic wonderful full
Tour operator was totally in experienced and unorganised. The tour was supposed to start at 8 AM, but he had informed that he will be arriving at 9 AM. at 9 AM, the driver came and picked me up and we had to wait in the car again for half an hour for the tour guide to arrive. The tour was supposed to be for nine hours, but it got concluded within three hours. the lunch was included in the trip, and I informed him about the lunch, many times, but he was reluctant to provide me with the lunch. He only assisted me with the Ciradel and b all the other places he just dropped me in front of the gate
Full day visiting both Islamic and Coptic sites. Covered amazing amount of ground with our very competent guide (Saul?). Only issue was his think accent which made it difficult to understand his commentary
Had the most amazing day being guided by Rasha. She gave great history of the area as we drove to our first spot. She made it clear that we can take our time and that she can take photos of us as desired. We loved the Citadel and Muhammad Ali Mosque. Loved the details about Islam Rasha provided. We got to go out to Cave Church which was amazing! Our driver did a good job there and truly the whole day. We also were able to see the Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, and Saint Sergius & Bacchus Church. Rasha provided us with great information at every location. She offered us the opportunities t
Tour operators charged us and forgot about the tour at 10am. At 9am I reminded them and they managed to get an inexperienced person (who always irritable and angry) at the last moment who lived 2 hrs away. The company gave us a story about how it will be better to start at 11am to avoid traffic. They advertise the tour duration as 8hrs, so with a late start or should have gone on till 7pm. However the guide stated getting agitated at 4pm and said that she had to end the tour soon because it will take 2hrs to get back to her home. This guide had no experience or knowledge. Her English was impos
What a great tour and overview of Cairo's religious history. We visited Islamic temples, a Coptic church, and a Jewish synagogue. Our tour guide was great and gave our 6-person private tour the flexibility we wanted, including fulfilling our request for an unscheduled visit to the Khan Al-Khalili bazaar.
