We had a rocky start as the driver dropped us off at the wrong museum in Cairo. We spent our valuable time searching for our guide who was waiting for us at the correct museum. Once we met at the correct museum (Egyptian Museum), our tour was good. As we were tired, we then decided to skip the rest of the stops on the tour and head just to the cave church. However, our guide took us to the hanging church with no explanation. After that, he discouraged us from going to the cave church so we ended the tour. Overall, it was a disappointing tour.
