5.00I had the chance to discover the Coptic neighborhood of Cairo during an absolutely unforgettable visit. From the start, the organization was impeccable: our driver, punctual and courteous, ensured a smooth and comfortable ride through the busy streets of Cairo, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The guide was exceptional. His deep knowledge of history, his communicative passion and his ability to answer all our questions really brought the place to life. She blended culture, spirituality and anecdotes with rare expertise, making each stop captivating. Thanks to it, we have not only visited monuments, we have understood their soul and their importance in the thousand-year history of Cairo. His attentiveness, kindness and professionalism made this visit a unique and rewarding moment. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wishing to discover the Coptic district in the best conditions: with an exceptional guide and attentive driver, it is the guarantee of a memorable memory.
