Breakdown

Well first say I hired a private car to go to abu simbel At 4.30 in the morning when I saw that he was not arriving I wrote and they told me that the car had broken down and that they sent a friend with another car A nice guy showed up half an hour later and we started our journey when we were a quarter of the way back. A light went off in the car and it broke down. He had to pick up a van that was doing the same shared excursion as doing us a favor.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Estimado cliente, Antes que nada, queremos pedir disculpas por lo ocurrido durante su excursión. Lamentablemente, todo lo que pasó estuvo completamente fuera de nuestro control y es algo muy inusual. El primer coche sufrió una avería antes de llegar a recogerles, por lo que organizamos rápidamente otro vehículo para no cancelar su viaje. Durante el regreso a Asuán, el segundo coche también tuvo una a vería inesperada en medio del trayecto. En cuanto al minibús que mencionan, no fue exactamente como un “favor”, sino una solución inmediata para que pudieran continuar el viaje sin quedarse en la carretera. Además, después de que subieran, el minibús tuvo un problema con el aire acondicionado, algo que también fue una coincidencia desafortunada y ajena a nuestra responsabilidad. Queremos destacar que todos los vehículos son relativamente nuevos y no presentan problemas habituales. De hecho, esta excursión nos ha supuesto la reparación de tres vehículos distintos, algo totalmente excepcional. Lamentamos sinceramente las molestias ocasionadas y agradecemos su comprensión ante una situación tan fuera de lo común. Un cordial saludo.
