Guide Hana had doors to closed off rooms literally opened for me on this solo private tour. She tirelessly guided me through church after mosque after church….. The highlights of my tour were the Cave Church, where Hana waited patiently while I experienced Cairo’s longest zip line, and shopping using her recommended vendors.
This was a great experience with Shady to tour around Cairo, viewing and exploring more recent history of Egypt. The Mosques, churches and sites are not only beautiful but unique with its own interesting story. We had great communication with tour agency and they were able to accommodate a different drop off for us. It was a great private tour, easy to imerse yourself and learn with Shady's help. Food was delicious at a nice restaurant. Driver was great, very nice and made us feel welcome and safe navigating the crazy traffic.
