Great experience! - I 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.

A Half Day of Delightful Discoveries - With an extra day to spare before our cruise in Cairo, we opted for a half day tour to Coptic Cairo, and it turned out to be a splendid decision! Ehab, our guide, exceeded all expectations with his impeccable service and deep passion for Egypt's history. His enthusiasm was contagious, making the tour not only informative but also incredibly engaging.
Accompanied by a prompt and polite driver, our journey was seamless from start to finish. Ehab's professionalism and knowledge added immense value to our exploration of Coptic Cairo. As a delightful bonus, we requested a stop at the Old Cairo Papyrus Museum, which turned out to be a fantastic addition to our itinerary, adding a touch of fun and excitement to our experience.
