Historic and unforgettable Egypt

They were two very satisfying days in which our guide showed the great knowledge of the places visited as well as its history which she guide explains clearly and in a way that is very easy to understand all its culture and diversity.

Coptic Cairo

It was a fantastic trip around Coptic Cairo! It sounds like Ashraf played a pivotal role in making our experience both enriching and enjoyable. Having a knowledgeable guide who’s also patient can truly enhance the exploration of such a historic area, allowing you to soak in the depth of history and the significance of the sights at our own pace. Coptic Cairo, with its rich tapestry of history, architecture, and culture, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the foundations of Christian Egypt. From ancient churches to historic sites, it's a part of Cairo brimming with stories waiting to be discovered. And with Ashraf guiding the way, it seems you were able to connect with these places on a deeper level, learning about their backgrounds and significance. It's always wonderful when a guide can turn a trip into an educational adventure, making sure you leave with more knowledge and appreciation for the places you've visited. The patience and dedication of guides like Ashraf are what make visiting new destinations so rewarding. Thank you for sharing your positive experience! It's heartening to hear about travel stories where the guide made such a positive impact on the trip. Here's to many more adventures that are as engaging and insightful as your journey around Coptic Cairo was!

Amazing trip with Pheobe our tour guide

We had an amazing trip with Pheobe, our guide who was an excellent presenter of coptic churches in Cairo. I fully recommend the tour and also the agency so for those who wants to see the live christianity you have to see this. Thanks a lot for the excellent time! The driver was the best driver I’ve ever see. In my life.

Excellent tour of Coptic Cairo

Everything was excellent with this tour company. Our guide was knowledgeable, the sites were gorgeous, and the koshary lunch was delicious. We were taken care of by Ashraf who helped us schedule and coordinate our tour, and he was very accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Booked this tour before another tour...

<p>Booked this tour before another tour started and my group thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Michael. He was prompt in picking us up from our hotel, started right into the tour, and gave us history and culture throughout the tour. He was willing to answer our questions and was even kind enough to let us obtain picture of the Nile with the city in the background. This tour is perfect with the inclusions, the amount of time, the sites, etc. I'd recommend this trip for sure. My group and I want to thank you Michael for being our great tour guide!</p>
