Monastery St Simon with Cave Church and Garbage City Private Tour

The Monastery and cave church carved out of the mountain in Cairo was a long-awaited destination. Today I was able to visit with my driver Andrew. He was an exceptionally good driver in negotiating the area we had to drive through. It made my day.

Mr Raafat our driver was very patient, friendly and most important safe. He is also very knowledgeable and introduced us to many places along the way. We would highly recommend Mr Raafat and would love him to be our driver again next time.

Our guide Beshoy was wonderful throughout the entire trip. My friend and I were travelling to Cairo and specifically wanted to visit the Cave Church, and he made the experience very enjoyable. He was kind, respectful, and helpful the whole time. He also took us to a few shops afterward, which is quite normal on guided tours. If you’re not interested in buying perfumes or papyrus, you can simply say no, and it’s absolutely fine. Overall, we had a very positive experience and appreciated his professionalism.

We had a great experience with our friendly driver Raafat, who not only drive us to the cave church but also gave us a lot of information! We recommend him!!

Our driver Raafat was very friendly and gave is a great tour where we got to see as well as learn a lot. Definitely recommend!

Andrew was the best! He was very informative and helped us around the church! I will definitely book again hoping to have Andrew, he is a very nice person, he deserves 10 stars!!!
