St Simon Monastery ,Cave Church , Garbage City and Coptic Cairo Private day tour

Afternoon in Coptic Cairo with Khaled!

Had a splendid time in Coptic Cairo, the tour is definitely worth while. Khaled was our guide + driver, he was amazing at being both, taught us so much about the different churches and synagogues, explaining the history of each one, he is extremely knowledge. Super caring and kind, if you have the option pick Khaled as your guide!

Fascinating tour of Coptic Cairo

The day tour was really worth it - the history in Cairo and especially in this Coptic sector is fascinating! The churches are wonderful, the history of Coptic Christians in Egypt is very interesting. Bishoo was an excellent guide, he answered all our questions and was patient allowing us to take the time we needed. Thank you!

Very good

We booked a driver only tour and our driver was very good, very friendly and gave us enough time at each location.. would happily use again 5/5

Church in the Cave

A sobering experience of life in parts of Egypt where the people survive by recycling garbage to make money. There are no police and no crime. And at the end is a beautiful Koptic church carved out of a cave.

Extremely educational

Bisho our tour guide was brilliant. He fully explained what we were looking at and he was a wealth of information. Highly recommended.

Day in Cairo

Our day was fantastic many thanks 🙏. Coptic tour was great. We appreciated the map showing Jesus’s journey while a refugee in Egypt, and the immersive experience of going through the crypt. Doaa is good story teller and knows her stuff. She is amiable and her delivery is style very accessible. We also enjoyed time in the bazaars. The hanging church was a spiritual experience. We were given the story behind the necropolis. The trip to the Garbage City and the Saint Simon church was educational and uplifting: goes to show how uncrushable the human spirit is. The driver Tamer was friendly, patient and very helpful. He immediately put us at ease.

We had an amazing time!

Marsil and Ahmed were once again excellent hosts. They both have amazing personalities. They are funny, safe, hospitable, humble, and very very nice. They take wonderful pictures of landscapes as well as adding us to the landscaping to make it look like a beautiful hand painted picture. We are actually using them for a 3rd time on our 7 day trip to Egypt. We highly recommend them both 🥰

Learn so much

My driver, Islam, was so accommodating and professional and my guide, Ehab, energetic and knowledgeable - it was a great tour and visit. Thank you 🙏

A must see when you're in Cairo!

I had a fantastic tour with Marsil. She has so much knowledge and made the tour really fun. She took so many amazing photos! The Cave Church was incredible to see. I also really enjoyed the Hanging Church. Ahmed was a great driver navigating through some narrow streets. I really recommend this tour!

Tour guide recommendation

Had a great time on our last day in Cairo. Our tour guide Adel made it possible, he is so knowledgeable about the places he took us. If you're able to choose a tour guide, request for Adel. He also knows picture perfect spots, a huge plus.

Coptic Experience

A wonderful insight into the Coptic Religion especially details of St. Simon Monastery. Garbage City a must and the awesome shopping expeditions which were a surprise extra. A great day not to be missed with our driver Karem and guide Beshoy.

Great day and friendly driver

The driver and tour operator were friendly and helpful. The Hanging Church was a sight to behold and my daughter and I enjoyed it very much. It was interesting to see the workers of Garbage City as we made our way up to the monastery. A lovely day.
