Wonderful tour - The tour through Coptic Cairo was most interesting. Beautiful churches and our guide Marsil provided us with lots of insight information. Driving through ‘garbage city’ was being in a surreal world. Unbelievably admirable how these Zabaleen people manage to recycle garbage. The tour was well worth it!

Experience Egypt’s Beautiful Churches - This was an enjoyable excursion! I’ve learned about the Coptic religion back home, and was excited to see the churches and museum in person. The church structures were beautiful! It’s amazing that these things were made so long ago and still stand up today. My driver, Raafat, was also great! He was prompt and took me to each part of the tour, in a timely manner. I’d say the only holdback was I wasn’t a fan of the bazaar. I pictured a marketplace, instead it’s a collection of a few overpriced shops. Besides that, I highly recommend the tour for anyone interested in seeing the churches of old.
