We were expecting a 5-6 hour tour but we were finished and dropped back at our hotel in less than 3 hours. Guide was ok but continually wanting praise. Didn't really acknowledge a female but spoke to my husband. Rushed us through everything. When asked if he could drop us off at the markets instead of the hotel he wanted extra money. The driver was so large that my husband had no leg room behind his seat and he didn't care. Grunted at us when we gave him a tip. I have requested a half refund due to false advertising but it has been rejected. They don't believe the customer, only the third part

A fascinating tour of Coptic churches in Cairo along with an opportunity to learn more about the history of Christianity in Egypt. Our guide was terrific.

Zizou was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable about the religious history of Christians, Muslims, and Jews in Cairo. And he was nice to let us explore for as much - or as little - time as we wanted. And he arranged at the last minute to take us to the souk and gave us great tips for eating and shopping there. We highly recommend Zizou.

Bassam was my tour guide. He was patient and kind as he shared a tremendous amount of knowledge about the Coptic religion and churches. His enthusiasm was contagious and I found myself fully engaged. Bassam was ready and able to speak on other topics of Egyptian culture and modern life. I enjoyed this tour emensely.

Mohammed was a fabulous guide. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about his country and it’s history. He was gracious and kind. Moved at the perfect pace, never felt rushed. I would highly recommend this tour. His driver was the best we have had in Egypt.
