Hala the Sugar Queen was an awesome guide! She took the time to really explain everything and took good care of the group. Thank you so much 😊

Great! Highly recommend a different view of Cairo!
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.
Great tour. Hannah was a very accommodating tour guide. She asked what things we were missing and made sure to accommodate them into the tour. We did not feel rushed. We learned a lot of history and saw some fascinating sites of old Cairo.
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.
I recently booked a private tour of a Coptic Church in Egypt and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience with the guide, Amira. Since this was a private tour, I expected a personalized, professional, and informative experience. Instead, she was frequently on her phone and did not seem engaged. When discussing the history and significance of the church, her explanations were limited and lacked depth, which was especially disappointing given the importance and sacred nature of the site. The tour also felt rushed. I did not feel that I received the full experience or adequate time to properly appreciate and learn about the church, which was frustrating, especially for a private tour. Her behavior felt unprofessional as well. She seemed more focused on encouraging me to purchase items from local shops rather than providing a meaningful tour. Even after I clearly stated that I was not interested in buying anything, she continued to push the matter, which made the experience uncomfortable. Overall, the private tour did not meet expectations. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so future visitors receive the knowledgeable, attentive, and respectful service that such a historic and sacred place deserves.

This was an excellent private tour that genuinely delivered on seeing a different side of Cairo. Exploring Coptic Cairo felt personal and unrushed, with fascinating stops at the Cave Church, the Hanging Church, and other key Coptic sites, plus the eye opening visit to Garbage City which most tourists never see. Hanan and Sameh were both knowledgeable, relaxed, and great company, and as it was just me it truly felt like a bespoke experience rather than a packaged tour. They were also brilliant photographers and videographers, and even helped me spontaneously do the zip line near the Cave Church, filming it for me without hesitation. The private transport was comfortable, the pacing flexible, and they were happy to adjust my drop off location at the end. Overall it was a very enjoyable, well run day that felt authentic, flexible, and thoughtfully guided.
Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.
