“Besten zwei Tage unseres Urlaubs ”

Ich kann nichts anderes sagen als das ich jetzt noch begeistert von der Tour bin. Wir haben alles das sehen können was denke ich wichtig ist von den Pyramiden bis hin zum Basar.....ich kann mich nur bedanken für den netten Kontakt des Unternehmens...waren jederzeit hilfsbereit. Auch unsere Reiseführer war 1a er hat sich für uns die Zeit genommen alles bis ins kleinste Detail zu erklären.. er hat ein riesengroßes Hintergrund und Fachwissen. Auch Mittagspausen mit landestypischen Gerüchten war genau nach unserem Geschmack. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen dieses Unternehmen zu wählen. Es ist jeden Euro wert. Danke für alles und die schöne Zeit Simon from Germany

Ahmed A.

Vielen herzlichen Dank, Simon! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass die beiden Tage zu den schönsten Ihres Urlaubs gehört haben. Ihr ausführliches Feedback bedeutet uns wirklich viel. Es ist schön, dass Ihnen die Tour, unser Reiseleiter und das landestypische Mittagessen so gut gefallen haben. Unser Ziel ist es, unseren Gästen nicht nur die Highlights Ägyptens zu zeigen, sondern ihnen auch die Geschichte, Kultur und Gastfreundschaft unseres Landes näherzubringen. Vielen Dank für Ihr Vertrauen und Ihre Empfehlung. Es war uns eine große Freude, Sie in Ägypten begrüßen zu dürfen. Wir hoffen, Sie und Ihre Familie bald wieder bei einer weiteren Reise willkommen zu heißen. Herzliche Grüße Ahmed

“It was an excellent tour”

I joined this tour in July. It was extremely hot, but thanks to our guide, I was able to enjoy the visit comfortably. I don’t usually hire guides when I travel. However, if you’re planning to visit the pyramids and are unsure whether to book a guide, I would definitely recommend it. Having a knowledgeable guide made the experience much more enjoyable and stress-free. At one point, I started feeling unwell because of the heat. The guide immediately took me to a nearby restroom and café, made sure I had time to rest, and took great care of me until I felt better. I really appreciated the kindness and professionalism throughout the tour. Highly recommended!

Ahmed A.

Dear Rei, Thank you very much for sharing your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that our guide helped make your visit comfortable despite the intense July heat. Your comments about the guide’s care, professionalism, and local knowledge mean a great deal to us. We always aim to make every guest feel safe, supported, and fully able to enjoy the experience, and we are very pleased that this was reflected during your visit. It was our pleasure to host you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future. Kind regards, Ahmed

“Tour estupendo en Giza con Amir”

Tuvimos un día super completo con Amir. Supo contarnos un montón de cosas sobre Giza, Memphis y Saqqara :) A la tarde comimos en un restaurante de buffet con comida típica y todo estaba de rechupete! Gracias Amir, un 10/10 We had a fantastic day with Amir. He told us so much about Giza, Memphis, and Saqqara :) In the afternoon, we had lunch at a buffet restaurant with typical local food, and everything was delicious! Thanks, Amir, 10/10!

Ahmed A.

Muchísimas gracias por tu fantástica reseña Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutaste de un día tan completo con Amir y que pudiste descubrir la historia de Guiza, Menfis y Saqqara de una forma tan amena. También nos encanta saber que disfrutaste del almuerzo con comida típica egipcia. Le haremos llegar tus amables palabras a Amir; seguro que le hará mucha ilusión saber que contribuyó a que tu experiencia fuera un 10/10. ¡Gracias por confiar en nosotros! Esperamos daros la bienvenida de nuevo muy pronto para otra aventura inolvidable en Egipto.
