Amazing Tour with Hosni - Hosni took us on the Half-day Tour in Churches of Cairo in December 2024. It was a great opportunity to understand the local culture and history of Egypt. He picked us up from our hotel and gave us a very well informed, easy to understand, and personable experience. He also had great food recommendations that we used a few times afterwards. Appreciate all of the hard work on the tour!
