I really enjoyed this tour, especially the cave church it was absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. The guide on site was excellent; his storytelling completely engaged my children and made the visit truly memorable. We did, however, have to rush through the Coptic churches because the driver tried to take us off route for a shopping stop we weren’t interested in. I had to insist on going directly to the cave church and then the Coptic churches, which reduced the time available. Overall, a great tour with an outstanding guide, but clearer routing and better time management would really impro
Really great experience and tour guide. Spoke really good English and was very knowledgeable. Would reccomend
