Our guide and driver were very helpful and polite. Driving through Garbage City to get to the Cave Church was eye opening. The Church itself was amazing. Interesting to learn about the Coptic religion from our guide. Driving through the City of the Dead was also interesting but you couldn’t see much. Tourists are not allowed to walk in there.
We were picked up on time at our hotel with a clean, air conditioned tour van and water bottles waiting for us inside. It was a nice start to what turned out a pleasant, informative and well organized tour. The lunch at the end of a tour was a tasty barbecue served at a nice open air restaurant. Overall it would have been a great experience had it not been for two shopping stops which were neither on the itinerary nor requested. The attention given to us by the shopkeepers made us feel obligated to buy something. The tourist traps were nice - one with jewelry and other souvenirs and the other with clothing and other cotton products, however a shopping trip was not what we signed up for as part of this tour and we would have preferred to spend that time visiting sites that were more compatible with the stated itinerary.
