Coptic Cairo

Published on May, 2024

It was a fantastic trip around Coptic Cairo! It sounds like Ashraf played a pivotal role in making our experience both enriching and enjoyable. Having a knowledgeable guide who’s also patient can truly enhance the exploration of such a historic area, allowing you to soak in the depth of history and the significance of the sights at our own pace. Coptic Cairo, with its rich tapestry of history, architecture, and culture, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the foundations of Christian Egypt. From ancient churches to historic sites, it's a part of Cairo brimming with stories waiting to be discovered. And with Ashraf guiding the way, it seems you were able to connect with these places on a deeper level, learning about their backgrounds and significance. It's always wonderful when a guide can turn a trip into an educational adventure, making sure you leave with more knowledge and appreciation for the places you've visited. The patience and dedication of guides like Ashraf are what make visiting new destinations so rewarding. Thank you for sharing your positive experience! It's heartening to hear about travel stories where the guide made such a positive impact on the trip. Here's to many more adventures that are as engaging and insightful as your journey around Coptic Cairo was!

Unexpectedly Great Experience

Published on Aug, 2023

Had a great trip around Coptic Cairo. Michael was an excrement guide who ensured that we learned a lot and was patient with us throughout.

Amazing trip with Pheobe our tour guide

Published on Jun, 2022

We had an amazing trip with Pheobe, our guide who was an excellent presenter of coptic churches in Cairo. I fully recommend the tour and also the agency so for those who wants to see the live christianity you have to see this. Thanks a lot for the excellent time! The driver was the best driver I’ve ever see. In my life.

Excellent tour of Coptic Cairo

Published on Dec, 2021

Everything was excellent with this tour company. Our guide was knowledgeable, the sites were gorgeous, and the koshary lunch was delicious. We were taken care of by Ashraf who helped us schedule and coordinate our tour, and he was very accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great tour!

Published on Nov, 2021

We had the best time on this tour with Mimo! We had him for the tour the day before which was a full 8 hour tour of the pyramids and around Cairo. He’s very knowledgeable and can help you out with anything around the town!! Loved it.
