Nancy was a good guide. Who spoke french, so a plus (even if we have no problem with english) The Spa was the highlight for sure ( a little explanation could have been good when we arrived but not a big deal) The massage was very good. Totally worth the value
Bardzo polecam to biuro! Wycieczka była wspaniała ♡ Wykupiłam opcję "Makadi Bay: Piramidy w Kairze i Gizie, Muzeum Egipskie oraz rejs po Nilu" w małej grupie, minivanem, z polskojęzycznym przewodnikiem i... to był strzał w 10 😁 Odbiór i powrót do hotelu na czas. Niespodziewanie nasza grupa liczyła tylko 4 osoby, więc co najmniej wycieczka VIP. Przewodnik ciekawie opowiadał, dawał wystarczającą ilość czasu na zrobienie zdjęć, a do tego sam wykonał kilka świetnych ujęć 😁📸

Makadi Bay: Desert Stargazing Adventure by Jeep with DinnerWe had a great day out. The whole crew were so accomodating and made sure we were safe snorklung especially when my 7 year old became really scared. The coral reef, fish and dolphins were amazing.
Het was echt geweldig ! Heerlijke quad tour aan een zalig tempo, gecombineerd met een kamelenritje. Zeker zijn geld waard !
Der Ausflug war einfach super und ist absolut empfehlenswert! 🐬 Wir haben zuerst Delfine beobachtet und dabei sogar mehrere Delfingruppen gesehen. Anschließend ging es zu zwei Riffs zum schnorcheln, wo wir die wunderschönen Korallen und Fische 🐟 bestaunen konnten. Es hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht! Zwischendrin gab es auch kleines Mittagessen was absolut ausreichend war. Insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis, mit gut gelaunt er Schiffscrew, dass ich jedem nur empfehlen kann!
