The driver Tamer was really nice and knowledgable about Garbage City. He made effort to explain everything on our way to the church. At the church, I was assigned another guide who just rambled some information off in maximum 5 minutes and then attended to other groups. Quite expensive tour for the poor service received. I was offered to go inside and have him re-do the tour but I did not have time. The seating area was also closed off and I had to stand my ground to go inside. Otherwise, it is beautiful to visit and witness. From previous reviews, you can take an Uber there. This way you can spend as much time as you want and read up on the history yourself.

I was informed about this place one day before I leave, and surprisingly, I was able to book a last minute tour. Tamer, was great, very informative, and kind. He made sure that I was safe and able to take my time. I would definitely recommend him.
