Just book it - What a fantastic experience.
Our guide Sahar, was extremely knowledgeable and her love for her country shone through.
After visiting the religious buildings, we stopped for a drink at an historic restaurant on the edge of the Bazaar. A bit of calm before the storm of the bazaar!
What an experience. Colourful, mad, chaos and we loved it.
We had mentioned that we wanted to visit the Citadel and Sahar arranged to extend our tour to include it. This too, is a must see.
Thank you for a great day Sahar.

Great tour! - Great tour! Amany, our tour guide, was friendly and informative. In addition to the churches and shopping, it was a great way to see more of everyday Cairo as well.

A surprising gem in Cairo - When you think of Cairo your mind either goes to the pyramids or to the chaotic modern city, but discovering the Coptic area was something unexpected. Entering the church behold on top of the cave where the Holy Family loved for months was breathtaking. They picked up from our hotel lobby in a super comfortable new car. The driver was an expert in driving through the overcrowded streets. Our guide, Amany, was the perfect guide for doing all of this. She is very knowledgeable and had the patience to also let us explore more time on our own. 100% recommended.

Five Hours Filled with Delightful Experiences - This is a great dive into the Coptic Christianity community in Egypt, both historically and contemporaneously. It is fascinating to hear how it fits in the matrix of early Christianity during the Roman period and how it changed after Arabia defeated the Romans. It is also very interesting to see some of the early Christian sacred sites, and their connection with the holy family escaping to Egypt shortly after Christ was born. It is also interesting to see how the architecture of the early churches appropriate elements from the Roman, Egyptian, and Arabian cultures. The tour also includes time in the ancient Islamic section of Cairo. The old market that we visited is a hubbub of activity and very colorful. My tour guide, Mohammed Kafafy, was absolutely wonderful. His English is excellent, and his knowledge of the subject matter is quite extensive. He also has keen interest in architecture, and very generously shared his knowledge with me. One very interesting fact is that the Egyptians have over the years dismantled many of the pyramids to use the sandstone blocks to build new things in the city. A lot of of the pyramids have been lost to this practice. We stepped over the transept of one door which actually utilized a large stone at the threshold that had ancient Egyptian figures carved into it. It had most been taken from an ancient monument. I highly recommend this tour.

Great way to gain knowledge of the cultures which makeup the city! - Ahmed and our driver were great! Communicated well before pickup so everything went smooth! We visited several ancient Mosques and Churches and Ahmed was awesome sharing the history and religious backgrounds of all these beautiful sites! The bazaar was very nice getting to interact with all these beautiful sites locals shopping. Ahmed was our favorite guide out of the six tours we had in Egypt. He was very kind and intelligent and his English is exceptionally good! I’d highly recommend this tour!!

Coptic Cairo tour with Menna - We really liked the tour in Coptic Cairo. We saw very interesting places and she was very knowledgeable. Even though we knew Cairo center was gonna be chaotic she handle in what she could let us go through a little less crowded shortcuts. My kid was cold and she offer her jacket to him so that was very kind of her.
Cairo it self is a crazy house so better not to go on the weekends.
Thank you Menna.
