A must see place when in Cairo - One of the places I’ve wanted to see while vacationing in Cairo. The churches that I visited were built in the 5th Century AD like the Hanging Church of the Virgin Mary, St George and Church of St Sergius this church was built in the spot where the Holy Family stayed at the end of their journey into Egypt. This place is a must visit when you come to Cairo. And if you are lucky you will get Ola who is a knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend this tour. The lunch that was included was delicious too!

Excellent Half Day Trip!! - The excellence of our experience was due to our guide Wael. His knowledge and understanding, patience and well spoken English made our trip something we will not forget. We have seen all highlights within the right amount of time, since we were interested in brief visits of the different attractions only.

Half day in coptic and islamic Cairo - In our second day in Cairo with Ali and Mohammed we explored the coptic and islamic neighborhoods of Cairo. There is a lot of history to be experienced at the hanging church in coptic Cairo and we visited two other churches as well. Guide Ali was happy to tailor the tour to our needs. Since the Ben Ezra Synagogue was still closed after Covid, wie visited Al Azhar mosque in islamic Cairo instead. Finally, we walked around Khan el-Khalili bazar. A very relaxing and comfortable half day tour!

Educational Coptic Cairo Tour! - My wife and I are experienced travelers and found the tour with Maged one of the best we have had. Maged’s knowledge coupled with his ability to relate historical detail regarding our visit to the Coptic Cario was remarkable. He answered all of our questions in an easy to understand manner with his excellent command of the English language. In the Khan El-Khalili portion of the tour, time was spent discussing Egyptian history over coffee that was both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend this tour to anyone that desires to better understand the history of Coptic Cario! Historical events that are just not commonly known, particularly the events surrounding Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Maged also took some great pictures of us at the various sites. His driver was very cautious and polite, an added bonus.

Great half-day to see the important Cairo sites - We had a great time with our guide Maged, who was very informative and spoke excellent English. The sites we saw in old Cairo were really incredible and so important in religious history. The bazaar definitely has to be seen, though it is way better with a guide as the hussling is less aggressive.

Great half-day tour to see the Cairo important sites and learn about its history. - We had a great tour with Maged and his driver and learned so much about Egyptian history. Maged is very informative and speaks excellent English. We loved seeing the old Cairo places of worship and then going to experience the Bazaar and the old mosque. We asked to be taken to a reputable gold store as part of the tour and they happily obliged.
