Wycieczka Super Luksor z Hurgady

September 27, 2026

Właśnie wróciliśmy z całodniowej wycieczki do Luksoru. Jesteśmy mega zadowoleni- organizacja wzorowa- pilot kompetentny, świetny organizator . Przez całą podróż panował nad wszystkim( grupa polska i włoska) i czuć było jego dyskretną opiekę. Największym zaskoczeniem był przewodnik po Luksorze Józef ( wiem, co mówię, trochę po świecie jeżdżę)- błyskotliwy, kompetentny, empatyczny i , co rzadko, świetnie mówiący po polsku. Zwiedzanie z nim, mimo niesamowitych tłumów było czystą przyjemnością. Już poleciłam Was wszystkim moim znajomym, którzy w najbliższym czasie wybierają się do Egiptu

Bardzo dobrze zorganizowany czas. Załoga łodzi Qeen Beesan przecudowna. Bardzo pomocna, uprzejma. Lunch smaczny, pięknie serwowany.

Specjalne podziękowania dla instruktora nurkowania Ahmeda za cierpliwość i serce.

Dziękujemy. I polecamy!

Super biuro, super obsługa, super ceny!

September 16, 2026

Kontakt z biurem rewelacyjny. Na każde zadane pytanie szczegółowa odpowiedź. Organizacja wzorowa. Odbiór przed hotelem punktualny, jazda autem czystym, klimatyzowanym. Płatność w naszym przypadku w dolarach bezpośrednia po wejściu do bazy quadów. Wybraliśmy się z kolegą na poranne quady. Wszystko przebiegło bez problemów. Dojazd do bazy, krótkie szkolenie i jazda na pustynię. Trasa bardzo fajna, chociaż dla osoby takiej jak ja (pasjonata jazdy na quadach) tempo trochę za wolne. Wioska beduińska, herbata, jazda na wielbłądach dla chętnych. Po krótkim odpoczynku droga powrotna. Miła obsługa. Na miejscu, jeśli ktoś nie ma własnej, można kupić arafatkę. Powrót busem do hotelu Pickalbatros Laguna Vista Hotel.
