Eine Recht anstrengende aber sehr empfehlenswerte Reise. Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe und würden in Kairo von unserem Guide Amal übernommen. Eine sehr kompetente und liebenswürdige Führerin, alles war bestens organisiert und wir erfuhren sowohl im Museum als auch bei den Pyramiden sehr viel Interessantes und Wissenswertes. Auch der Kamelritt an den Pyramiden war ein Highlight. Immer gerne wieder mit unserem Guide Amal und den beiden Fahrern die uns immer pünktlich hinbrachten und abholen. Liebe Grüße und Danke nochmals an Amal Claudia und Albert
Ich kann diese Tour nur loben. Die Reisebegleiterin war eine 10 von 10. Herzensgute Frau. Stand immer zur Seite und hat mit ihrem Fachwissen geglänzt. Fahrer waren überpünktlich, sehr zuvorkommend und haben keine Wünsche ausgeschlagen. Alles in allem eine 12 von 10. Liebe Grüße von Kevin und Chantal
Incredible! Communication prior was thorough. Drivers arrived early and very friendly. Everything was as described. Met knowledgeable local tour guide in Cairo who stayed with us throughout. He was friendly and helpful. In the museum he had great facts and tour, my children learnt alot. When my child was unwell, he was kind and helpful. Lunch in a restaurant was lovely. The camel ride was once in a lifetime. Not rushed. Lots of pictures taken. Any optional extras were explained and not pushed. Overall, worth every penny and highly recommend.
Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, wie in einem Traum!
