We were very disappointed in this tour, especially compared to many of the excellent guided tours we experienced elsewhere on this trip. Instead of a half-day, the tour was completed in 90 minutes, long before lunchtime. Our guide was pleasant good natured but provided very few insights beyond the bare basics. I would not recommend this company based on our experience.

Had a great day with Sayed on our Coptic Cairo tour. He met us at our hotel and was even nice enough to drop us at the Egyptian museum on the way back. The hanging church and cavern church were incredible, and we loved the Koshary lunch (even though we know it's a pretty simple dish). Sayed was a 5 star guide but the tour gets 4 because the Ben Ezra synagogue was closed for renovations - and had been for a while, but there was no mention of that when we booked. Some of the workers showed us photos on their phone, but that's not much of a tour even though we payed full price for the experience. Before lunch we did go to the Papyrus and perfume factory - which we wanted to do, but is very much an upsell and can be uncomfortable if you don't want to haggle and/or aren't looking to buy those types of souvenirs. If you don't want to go to papyrus, cotton, or perfume make sure to be firm with your guide as nearly *all* tour guides will want to take you on those side journeys. If you do want to go (like we did) just know you're probably overpaying, but whatever the price is worth to you is what matters. If you really want to play hardball name a price slightly lower than what you'd want to pay, then when they counter just say no and start to walk away and they'll probably meet you in the middle. Again, haggling isn't for everyone and the papyrus/perfume experience can feel like a weird middle-eastern timeshare experience so just make sure to be clear with your guide if you want it or not.
