Very interesting! The trip thru Garbage City to St Simon’s and the Old Churches and Synagogue. As a surprise we visited The Royal Mummies and finished off with Koshary. What an experience! Sandal our driver was outstanding. Our guide had a deep knowledge of the area. Great way to start our Cairo visit.

Abanoub is a wonderful guide. We had an easy pace with lots of explanation. Because the tour was private with him, we had lots of time for discussion and answering questions. We enjoyed many different things, but the highlight was the Coptic Cave Church… what a lively, vibrant place! It was also very interesting to drive through the neighborhood to get there and learn about the Coptic involvement in garbage collection and recycling. Big tours with buses probably cannot get in there, so doing it with Abanoub was a real treat. Highly recommended!

This tour is a must for anyone wanting to learn about Coptic Cairo! Our tour guide Manar was very kind and enthusiastic about Coptic art and did a fantastic job explaining things. She spent many years in school and holds degrees in this subject which is evident in her detailed explanation of items in the Coptic Museum. The driver Khaled handled the busy streets of Cairo with ease and got us to every destination safely. If you want to learn about Coptic Cairo with a fantastic tour team ask for Manar!

Amazing trip through the chaotic Cairo streets. Seeing the church built into the side of a mountain was great and wonderful acoustics. Garbage town was interesting. A very informative tour of Coptic Cairo. The museum had some great artefacts. I would recommend this tour.

We did the coptic Cairo tour with Manar Nabil and driver Abdallah. Manar knows a lot about coptic art (she´s majoring on it), so you can rest assured that she has knowledge in the subject and explains with great detail. Plus, she really loves it! I would recommend doing this tour, specially if you want to see a different side of Cairo.
