The Cave Church - Our tour to the Cave Church and Old Cairo was one of our favorites in Egypt. We explored hidden Coptic gems, learned about early Christianity, and admired the inspiring architecture carved into stone, so different from other sites in Cairo, and absolutely worth seeing!

Excellent. - Magnificent guide Ehab. Extremely professional. Direct to the most interesting points and the most essential details of each place. His chauffeur-companion was punctual at all times and places. I'm a solo traveler, and having this kind of professionalism only makes me more certain about booking a return trip and continuing to discover all the wonders yet to be discovered in wonderful Egypt. By The way he do me The best photos thank him for that to cause travel alone with a selfiestick some times its not enough. Incredible experience, thank you.

Lovely sites, nice tour guide - This half day tour of Cave Church of St. Simon & Old Cairo Churces was nice. The places we visited were lovely, especially St. Simon (aka Cave Church). Our car ride was very tight. Three guests in the back seat of a small compact car was difficult. The car was air-conditioned, and the driver was fine, but for three guests, squeezing into the back seat was uncomfortable. Also, not being informed in the Viator description of the out of city pick-up fee ($25 us dollars) was surprising. One last item... beware of "garbage city" on the way to the St. Simon Cave Church. It's very disturbing.
