Again my guide is very knowledgeable about this church. I am glad I came to this place on a last minute thought to include this in my itinerary, it touched me to learn some miracles happened here. This is one of the highlights in our trip to Cairo.

A Service. Punctual, friendly, trustworthy and informative. A great guide who is well versed with religious history in Egypt. The perfect tour for those seeking knowledge or want to experience some of the places talked about in the bible. This company also provides high speed wifi on their tours all day for free. Highly recommended!!
