Coptic Cairo Tour: Cave Church & Old Cairo Churches

Should had specially ask for a larger car. 4 ppl + guide+ driver , we will expect at least a 7 seater van, but it arrive as small car so 2 ppl cramp in back seat

We enjoyed exploring Coptic Cairo and visiting the beautiful historic churches, including the Cave Church of Saint Simon. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience another side of Egypt’s rich religious and cultural history. Our tour guide and driver were both very pleasant, friendly, and courteous. The guide provided basic historical information. One area that could be improved is communication before the tour. We did not receive any confirmation or communication from the guide the day before, which left us wondering whether the tour was still scheduled and whether someone would arrive to pick us up. They eventually arrived approximately 15 minutes after our agreed pickup time. A simple confirmation message would have provided peace of mind. Additionally, the tour advertised a complimentary bottle of water, but none was offered or provided. What I appreciated most was that there were no hidden agendas or unexpected commercial stops. We visited the attractions included in the itinerary without being taken to souvenir shops, fragrance stores, or other businesses where tourists might feel pressured to purchase something. This made the experience much more comfortable and enjoyable. Once the tour began, everything went smoothly, and both the guide and driver were kind and accommodating. Overall, this was a pleasant experience, and I appreciated that the tour focused on the actual attractions rather than shopping opportunities. With better communication, more informative guiding, and attention to the advertised inclusions, it could have been an excellent experience. I would still recommend it to travelers interested in exploring Coptic Cairo and its beautiful churches.

Wonderful experience visiting the Cave Church of St. Simon and the old Cairo churches. My Tour guide Karma was so informative and knowledgeable about the history of each church. This made the tour very special for me. I would also like to to thank my driver Reday for an enjoyable day.

Compared to the other tours we have done, this one just fell flat. Communication with the operator could be better. They were late to pick us up, which is not a problem at all, but there was no communication and reaching out was complicated. Our guide, while very kind and professional, was just not as passionate or knowledgeable compared to other tours we had in Egypt. I felt many of the questions we had unanswered. Just felt minimum compared to other tours. Would book this tour again, but with just the driver.

Interesting and informative tour of early churches in Cairo.- I was moved by what I saw, especially at Church of Saint Simon. Our guide, Miriam, was excellent- warm, friendly and very knowledgeable !
