Our guide (Ehab) and driver (Hossam) were both wonderful! Ehab was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with our questions. He knew all the right spots to showcase and he had a wealth of knowledge to share when it came to Egyptian history and the churches that we visited. He was able to pivot when we needed him to and we even tacked on a quick trip to Khan el Khalil. He expertly navigated us through the market and we were able to grab a great meal as well. He took all our pictures and shared them with my family through WhatsApp at the end. Hossam was a great driver, too! The way he navigated through Recycle City was nothing short of spectacular. Overall, my family and I really enjoyed this tour and we would definitely recommend Ehab and Hossam!

Wonderful day of touring this special area of Cairo! It started out a bit unsure (our original guide had an accident and needed to go to the hospital so we were suddenly without a guide). But the tour manager Hesham bent over backwards to help us out. He hired a great guide from the cave churches/monastery to show us around. Then, halfway through the tour, he was able to connect us with another guide, Ehab, who finished the tour with us in Coptic Cairo. He also took us around Old Islamic Cairo, too. Ehab was absolutely wonderful! Our trusty driver Ahmed was with us the whole time. I can’t recommend this tour company enough - super service and such passionate tour guides.
