Beautiful churches! - The cave church (and the journey up there) was amazing! The hope that the zabaleen have is contagious. We had a good time with our guide, Shereen. She was knowledgeable and pleasant. The guide in the cave church was Magdy and he was wonderful as well. Old Coptic Cairo was also beautiful and interesting, but the cave church was hard to beat.

The added extra visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization was great. - The highlight of our day was not on the agenda but we all loved the new National Musuem of Egyptian Civilization. Our guide Dalia was passionate and knowledgeable and we enjoyed the Coptic churches and the drive to the cave church though the recycling centre.

A valuable, inspirational and informative experience. - To see the churches and learn more about the history was inspirational. To see their persecution was humbling.

Great guide - Mahmoud was our guide for this tour. He is very knowledgeable and very friendly. This was our 3rd time with him. He once again had all the answers to our questions. We tried local foods with him as well. He let us explore on our own and answered any questions we may have. And best of all, he takes the best photos! Highly recommend if you book any tours in Egypt, you should book through Sun Pyramids and ask for Mahmoud Emam!
