Coptic tour in Cairo with Sameer - This tour was perfect. Our guide Sameer and Sayed made sure to take us to all places and share as much knowledge of the history with us. They were also very helpful with the infants in our group. Would 100% booking this.

Islamic and Coptic Cairo - We went to an incredible tour with Sayed Mahmoud (our tour guide). We saw all the churches and mosques available for tourists and learned many new things about the religious character of Cairo!

Simply the best guide to Coptic Egypt - My tour guide was Mahmoud Anwar and he was the best. I have a love of history, religion and architecture. All that and more was given to me. Regretfully I left my phone in the room, so Mahmoud came to the rescue and allowed me to use his phone for pictures. He even took a few of me and that rarely happens. He knew his history and the different stories as well. Who knows what is true from 936AD. Always a smile and really excited to present the information. Our driver was a saint, weaving in and out of the crazy traffic in Cairo. He even noticed I finished my own bottle of water and had another cold one waiting in the car for me. Excellent driving and customer service skills. If you have a love of religion,Churches and mosques, this is the go to. Especially with Mahmoud Anwar. I will be back after my first dive trip and we will do that camping in the desert, I promise. Take care of that little baby boy and sweet wife. You are blessed my friend. Thank you Jen Fouts

Fantastic Day in Cairo - We saw Cairo’s famous mosques, Coptic churches, and one synagogue. Ruwana not only shared the history of the buildings but helped us better appreciate her culture, family life, and faith. We loved the entire experience. We spent most of the day with a new Egyptian friend.

Mosques, Coptic churches, and Synagogue - We went to the Islamic and Coptic area of Old Cairo. Our guide was Sayed Mahmoud, the same guide as on the Pyramids tour, so we felt safe. The mosques were in active use and were very well maintained. The Coptic Churchs were interesting because of their unique design, which is not often seen in Europe. Our driver, Ibrahim, was also friendly. オールドカイロのイスラーム地区とコプト地区へ行きました。 ガイドはSayed Mahmoudさんで、ピラミッドツアーのときと同じガイドさんで、安心できました。 モスクは現役で使用されているため、とてもよく整備されていました。コプト教会は、ヨーロッパではあまりみかけないような、独特のデザインで興味深かったです。 ドライバーのIbrahimさんもフレンドリーでした。

Nice way to visit Cairo but with caution - First of all, the driver and car service was excellent. The guide was nice and she did her best to answer our questions. The problem came when we she wanted to cut the tour short by not going to the market. Finally we pushed to go and she accepted. Once we arrived she was pushing to leave from the begining and moreover siding with the vendors so we would overpay for whatever we wanted to buy in the market. Finally we felt forced to tip since she asked several times throughout the day. Overall, a good way to visit Cairo. Loads of stops and well organised. We got nice memories but we remember the day by the feeling of having to avoid being tricked all day long.

Maybe it'd be better with another guide; I would skip Amr ibn Al-A'as Masjid Jama mosque - Most places we visited are worth the visit and were considerably hassle free. I wouldn't visit the Amr ibn Al-A'as Masjid Jama from the inside though; it's a modern building, quite bland in comparison to the older mosques and you'll be literally bullied by rude people to leave your shoes with them (they will make a fuss if you want to carry your shoes with you), cover most women, even dressed modestly, with a head to toe mantle that I'm not sure how often it's washed and it's quite warm, and on the way out, they will literally "demand tips" quite aggressively too. It'd be much more better to charge a visitors' fee and make the visitors feel welcomed. It supposed to be a holy, peaceful place but it's the only place we definitely didn't feel welcomed and also didn't think the place itself was worth the hassle. Also, the guide was lovely but she'd repeat herself quite a lot and go too slowly, which made the tour take like double the time it could have taken, and she wouldn't understand many of our questions (felt almost like she memorized the info about the places but didn't know enough English for a full conversation), so in the end it's quite tiring and a bit frustrating. However, they were organized with the itinerary, the car, the tickets and the lunch was in a very yummy restaurant.
