Great Walking tour of Coptic Cairo - Wear good walking shoes. The tour is long but the History lesson is remarkable. Abdu was a virtual encyclopedia.

Great job by my guide - Mariam was a very knowledgeable tour guide who took me all over Coptic Cairo even adjusting the schedule for me when I didn't want to go to the Bazaar, but wanted to see the Cave Church and Garbage City out of curiosity from reading other tours. It was a great day over all. I feel it was a little bit high-priced given the fact that the majority of these sites are all free to enter but they did pick me up at the hotel and drop me back off at the end of the day. The driver was very safe and Mariam was excellent at offering to take pictures and things of that nature.

Highly recommended tour for getting a flavor of Old Cairo - Lovely visit with your guide Fatma and driver Syed. Fatma patiently answered our many questions while telling us about the places we visited. I highlight recommend this tour! Highlights were the Coptic churches and synogue with the fusion of Moorish, Christian, and Jewish elements coming together. The Citadel and Alabaster mosque were also very nice. The souk was nice to see but would skip that next time.
