Ahmed has been amazing and the tour guide is very good too
Had a great experience with my guide, Mohamed Salah. He was very nice, punctual, and communication was great throughout the tour. He was also a really good photographer and was happy to help take photos along the way. One of the highlights was that he brought me to visit a hidden church, which made the experience feel more special and unique. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend him as a guide!
Ahmed drove us through the trash village, which was a difficult drive. Touring the church was a wonderful experience. The guide's rich historical explanations helped us understand the church. It's a shame we couldn't go to the top of the church.
We had a wonderful private tour to St. Simon Monastery with Mr. Ahmed. He was punctual, professional, friendly, and very helpful throughout the trip. Thank you for making our visit comfortable and memorable. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ahmed give the nice hospitality and taking care of me
Good driver and nice visit. The driver drove through the narrow street of the garbage town
Wounderful Tour! And our driver and tour guide Sherif is the best. He is nice and professional and also enthusiastic to share information of Egypt with us. Thanks so much Sherif! :)
I had a comfortable, private, and safe trip. The air conditioning was great and they provided water. It's okay for a woman to use alone. It's a bit expensive, but it's a mystical experience, so I recommend it.
Fascinating church with an amazing back ground. Driver Ahmed has great english, smooth driving and a nice car
thank you sherif ! for bringing us around.
