Highlights
- Coptic Cairo - Coptic Cairo is a part of Old Cairo which encompasses the Babylon Fortress, , the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George and many other Coptic churches and historical sites. It is believed in Christian tradition that the Holy Family visited this area and stayed at the site of Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church (Abu Serga).[ Coptic Cairo was a stronghold for Christianity in Egypt until the Islamic era, though most of the current buildings of the churches in Coptic Cairo were built after the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the 7th century.

Great overview of Cairo’s religious monuments and history - We loved the personalised touch of this experience, with Fatima being a most knowledgeable and friendly guide and with a safe driver and car. The tour was at a good pace where we did not feel rushed nor did it go too slow. Lunch was good. The only down side was as it was Ramadan we needed to start earlier and finish earlier meaning we did the bazaar first when it was just opening, a great contrast but not so good for purchasing. Overall a thoroughly great day.

Tarek was an excellent... - Tarek was an excellent guide, adapting the tour to our requirements. Very understanding of our needs and gave us as much time in each place so we didn't feel rushed. We would recommend Tarek to anyone wishing to do this tour.

Great program, lunch on the Nile a disappointment - IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not book lunch on the Nile, over €30 extra for an old, broken-down boat, lousy food!!!!, it's a rip-off. I don't know who charges so much money for this (VIATOR or the local organizer).
! Points deducted for the food on the Nile, the trip itself is top notch. Great tour guide, everything went well and we learned a lot about Cairo, it's definitely worth doing this tour (but without lunch on the Nile).

Informative and thought provocing. - Many thanks for the great tour today. All went very well and please send our thanks and gratitude to both the driver Abad Azem and guide Sayed Admin. Both the driver and guide were professional and courteous. The guide Sayed is a wealth of knowledge and makes one feel at ease. Both members are an asset to your organization. Best wishes Russell and Norma Harrod.

Coptic and Islamic Caire. - Tour was good. Enjoyed what I saw. I would have preferred more understanding of Coptic Cairo. Our guide was light on this information. Also, guide was very quiet when speaking. She began speaking in the vehicle and I was unaware she was speaking to me.

I had a bad tour guide. Avoid Emo Tours.. - This was offered through EMO tours. Unfortunately the tour guide they assigned to us was pretty bad. His English was not up to mark, and he was nor engaging and enthusiastic about anything. His only motivation was how to take us to his "friends'" store in the market and give me a "good discount".... I think Emo tour should be more careful about choosing their guide if the care for their reputation. I cannot give more than 2 start for this trip.
