Our guide Sayed was very knowledgeable and interesting for the most part. A wonderful tour exploring some of the most beautiful mosques and the hanging church. I only wish we had been able to have lunch earlier as I was a little exhausted from the heat and very hungry.
We had an amazing day with a very professional tour guide. The huge knowledge, passion and perfect German of Ahmed Mustafa made our visit in Coptic and Islamic parts of Cairo unforgettable and absolutely impressive.

Just did a personalized private tour of the Coptic churches in Egypt and was blown away. Dina, our tour guide from a previous tour in Luxor, called in a favor and reserved us this tour when we got to Cairo. Our driver Abdo was great and our tour guide Essam was outstanding. Essam made sure we felt comfortable and attended to any need we had. We saw the Hanging Church, The church of Sergius and Baccahus, The Ben Ezra Synagogue and the Mosque of Amr ibn al-Al. Essam was full of knowledge and educated us with so many personal stories. Essam did not treat us like tourists but like family. It was very unique hearing the Christian story told from an actual Egyptian. And it was eye opening hearing that the Muslims respected other religions and wanted peace. Essam words to us was that Egyptians have many religions but are all one people. Lastly, Essam even took us out for Koshari. It was a great day.
