Awesome Egyptian History Tour!

Carlos_Q, Feb 2025

Overall, we had a decent experience. However, it should be noted that a great deal of credit goes to the guides and drivers who enhanced our travel experience, including the organizers. To the guides Ismail and Ahmed, thank you for your punctuality, your organizational skills and for passing on your passion for Egyptian heritage and your wealth of knowledge. It was efficient and optimal. Special thanks to Ahmed for taking care of our patients and for his humor. Keep smiling (5/5) as you embody the spirits of the pharaohs. Your explanations were clear. Good luck with your phd if that's the case. For the drivers: Many thanks for your punctuality. Also, a special thanks to Mohammed for always keeping up his great energy. For the hotel: 3/5. Rooms not clean, lacked water. Stagnant water. Food: 4/5. For the cruise: 3/5. Lacked entertainment, despite the shows. The food was good and varied: 4/5 Rooms: 4/5 One aspect that could be improved is knowing in advance about optional excursions. It was a bit last-minute and we had little information and little time to decide whether or not to do them. Especially as these were considerable additional costs. As for the rest, I recommend the agency without fail. Thank you for your support and follow-up during our stay. I wish you continued success. Carlos, Nesrine and Aicha
