The Monastery and cave church carved out of the mountain in Cairo was a long-awaited destination. Today I was able to visit with my driver Andrew. He was an exceptionally good driver in negotiating the area we had to drive through. It made my day.

Our guide Beshoy was wonderful throughout the entire trip. My friend and I were travelling to Cairo and specifically wanted to visit the Cave Church, and he made the experience very enjoyable. He was kind, respectful, and helpful the whole time. He also took us to a few shops afterward, which is quite normal on guided tours. If you’re not interested in buying perfumes or papyrus, you can simply say no, and it’s absolutely fine. Overall, we had a very positive experience and appreciated his professionalism.

The driver is very responsive and friendly. The drive to Garbage city is very difficult but the driver Omar did a very good job.

The guide Bisho was very knowledgeable and good on this tour about the church and the history of the religious area and life! He gave us a lot of information and we enjoyed this tour. He also took pictures during the tour. We didn’t see much of garbage city or learn too much about it.

Our guide Dias was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, made us feel comfortable and allowed us plenty of time to explore the cave church complex. The driver was very calm and skillfully navigated the intense traffic of Cairo.
