Tamer is a great guide and was very knowledgable about the tour. He is punctual and went the extra mile to explain the history about the Garbage city and cemetaries in Cairo and answered all my questions. I would recommend him to anyone as you will walk away with a lot of information and appreciate the tours more. Thank you Tamer. You are great at what you do and such a kind person????

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Coptic Christians in Egypt. We especially enjoyed our time under the mountains visiting the monastery. Our guide also helped us get lunch at a famous koshary restaurant afterwards as well! Overall great experience! Be sure to let the guide know if you have time constraints.
