Fascinating must-see tour of Coptic Cairo - Yet another fascinating day with Zizou from Deluxe Travel. This tour was my third day with Zizou, building on what I had seen and leaned on days 1 and 2. Coptic Cairo is a completely different experience from Islamic Cairo (my day 1) and ancient Egypt (my day 2), though if you look closely, there are element of both woven into the sites and museum pieces in the Coptic zone. Zizou’s broad knowledge of Egyptian history, religion, arts, masonry, etc. brought it to life. The sites are clustered together so you see a lot in a short time. I highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour Director : First Day in Egypt - Bassam was my tour guide. He was patient and kind as he shared a tremendous amount of knowledge about the Coptic religion and churches. His enthusiasm was contagious and I found myself fully engaged. Bassam was ready and able to speak on other topics of Egyptian culture and modern life. I enjoyed this tour emensely.

Historical tour - This was a surprisingly good tour, loved the history of the Coptic religion, the Islamic and Jewish. All places of worship were amazing. Our tour guide Zanaty Mohamed made this tour special with his amazingly detailed knowledge. A must do

Important tour in Cairo like Pyramids n Museum. Great Guide Emile - Cairo is known for Pyramids, Museum , but now I see that without going to coptic church and Islamic sites we can't capture the religious influence and how it's woven into the fabric of the nation... It was a great tour made worthwhile by the excellent tour guide Emile , he was answering all type of questions I had, was very knowledgeable and good in English. He had worked as English teacher for many years and it reflected in the way he spoke. Don't miss this tour if you come to Cairo , ask for Guide Emile , he rocks.

HOSNI is the man! - We had an AMAZING day with our guide Hosni and his incredible driver Essam
We visited amazing churches and Hosnis knowledge of all things Egyptian was so helpful and insightful.
We were so impressed that I asked him if he could take us to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquaties and not only did he do that, but he took us to an amazing restaurant on the Nile and got us a ride to our hotel and the airport.
I HIGHLY recommend Hosni as a tour guide!

Must Do on an Egypt Trip!! - Mohamed was the BEST tour guide!! He had such patience with all my questions, told me the history of Cairo, the different churches and society. He took great pictures and let me sit and enjoy the sites for as long as I wanted. He was very polite and engaging, and double checked with me throughout the tour on my comfort level or if I had any more questions.

A Must Do!!! Visit the Incredible St. Simon “Tanner” Monestary & St. Marcos “Cave Church”! - This was our last day & tour scheduled on our 2 week vacation through Jordan & Egypt and we were still able to be wowed 🤩🤩🤩 by what we saw.
We were the only 2 people on the tour so we essentially had a private tour with our fantastic & entertaining guide, Mahmoud, and amazing driver also named, Mahmoud. Both made the experience memorable as we were so impressed with the driver’s ability & skill in safely navigating the narrow streets of Garbage City & the crazy traffic of Cairo. Ofcourse our guide, Mahmoud, was fabulously entertaining as he enthusiastically shared detailed information at each site we visited and then allowed us free time for photos. We were never rushed and the pace was perfect.
Since we had already seen a few of the sights on the list, we opted to have lunch and our guide took us to the Old Cairo Restaurant that had great food (the kofta was amazing!), clean bathrooms and very reasonably priced.
The highlight was definitely the St. Simon “Tanner” Monestary & the adjacent St Marcos Cave Church which was the main reason we booked this tour. We really also appreciated that the itinerary had them as the first stop of the tour as both were so unique and incredible to see.
Overall, the highest recommendation for this tour and a definite MUST do in Cairo.
