Highly Recommend
Our guide Wagih was a very good guide. I enjoyed everthing about the tour. The information provided was the perfect amount of information. We went on a Saturday and it turns out that was the best time to go. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in the Coptic Churches.
Great tour & great tour guide
Sahar was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. She was very helpful and patient throughout the tour. Yasser Salah was a great driver. The pickup was right on time and the car was very clean. I highly recommend Emo Tours and will definitely book again if return to Egypt.
Great day in cooptic Cairo.
I had an amazing visit of important cooptic places. The guide was great, explaining very well and shared his experience. I felt very lucky because not all guides are like that. He loves his job and shares the best he knows. I felt safe and welcomed. It made it very enjoyable, like living the history as we were in the past centuries. The driver was also very patient and I could safely leave my bag in the car while visiting the places. I highly recommand this trip.
Beautiful experience 🙏
Beautiful churches to be seen here, the craftsmanship in the stone is exceptional, the only fault I had was that my tour guides English was not that great was a little hard to understand her but she was a lovely lady and very comfortable to be with 🙂
Review
It was wonderful! I enjoyed spending time with my driver and tour guide. I loved that I did a private tour and got to see the top things on my list.
