Reviews
We had an excellent day visiting the great pyramids at Giza, sukkarra and Memphis. Our Guide was Mario, he was knowledgable and a well informed Egyptologist. He accompanied us throughout the trip. He ensured that we had a good time. He and his company book tour Egypt ensured that the family had a fun day. The tour is a full day and lunch is provided. Food was authentic and buffet style.
Franchement c’était top!! Je recommande ++ On a pu payer en Euros ils sont venus nous chercher et re déposer. Une belle activité autour des pyramides. Patii
Прекрасная экскурсия по отличной цене. Гид очень хороший человек, хорошо говорит по русски. Очень интересные исторические рассказы. Всем очень советую, день будет незабываемым!
Ottimo servizio, puntuale. Guida competente e disponibile durante la giornata. Visita alle piramidi ed al museo egizio con la guida competente in egittologia
Inizialmente ero molto titubante nel dover mandare dei soldi ad una agenzia in Egitto, in quando non hanno come metodo di pagamento PayPal, ma poi mi sono preso di coraggio e come pattuito ho inviato un acconto dei soldi previsti per l acquisto dei biglietti aerei. Esperienza bellissima, guida impeccabile e precisa, consigliatissima per chi vuole fare un esperienza simile.
Ottima preparazione della guida molta cortesia e disponibilità nel personalizzare le visite in base ai propri interessi, insomma una visita “sartoriale” rispetto a quelle standard proposte dai grandi operatori
