Excelenta excursie la Luxor

April 9, 2026

Super serioși , servicii, organizare și comunicare bună, prețuri corecte. Ghidul Mimo, un profesionist desavarsit care vorbeste si limba romana (a invatat-o singur) a facut ca excursia la Luxor sa fie excelenta. Un aspect negativ ar fi totusi faptul ca nu ne-au comunicat inainte despre excursia optionala cu barca pe Nil ( desi am intrebat anterior despre costuri optionale).

Wycieczka (indywidualna) do Kairu samolotem

April 9, 2026

Mieliśmy już wcześniej zakupione bilety na trasie Hurghada–Kair–Hurghada, natomiast organizację całego jednodniowego pobytu w Kairze powierzyliśmy Nile Voyage Tours. Była to dobra decyzja.

Cały wyjazd został przygotowany bardzo profesjonalnie i bez żadnych problemów logistycznych. Od samego początku wszystko było dopięte na ostatni guzik. Transfery przebiegały sprawnie i punktualnie, co przy tak intensywnym planie dnia miało ogromne znaczenie.

Program wycieczki był dobrze przemyślany i pozwolił zobaczyć najważniejsze atrakcje Kairu w komfortowym tempie. Zwiedziliśmy nowe Muzeum Egipskie, które zrobiło na nas ogromne wrażenie, a następnie udaliśmy się do Piramid w Gizie – absolutnie niezapomniane doświadczenie. Mieliśmy również okazję popływać łodzią po Nilu. Całość została uzupełniona przyzwoitym lunchem, który był miłym momentem odpoczynku w trakcie dnia.

Na szczególne wyróżnienie zasługuje dobra organizacja czasu oraz opieka przewodnika na miejscu, więc wszystko przebiegało płynnie, bez zbędnego pośpiechu czy chaosu.

Zdecydowanie polecamy to biuro każdemu, kto chce maksymalnie wykorzystać krótki pobyt w Kairze i zobaczyć jego najważniejsze atrakcje w dobrych warunkach.

Servicii extraordinar de corecte si eficiente la un preț foarte bun. O agenție extraordinar de serioasa cu angajați super profesioniști care iti stau non-stop la dispoziție. Am achiziționat 5 activități de la ei, printre care excursie la Cairo si Luxor. Colaborare extraordinara cu ghizi super bije pregătiți, mai ales ghidul Mimo de la Luxor, bun vorbitor de limba română, chiar daca era arab. Angajați foarte serioși si respectuoși, preturi decente, însă cuvintele sunt de prisos. As apela ori de câte ori ma voi întoarce in Egipt la aceasta agenție fara sa stau pe gânduri.

Extremely fair and efficient services at a very good price. An extraordinarily serious agency with super professional employees who are at your disposal non-stop. I purchased 5 activities from them, including a trip to Cairo and Luxor. Extraordinary collaboration with super well-trained guides, especially the guide Mimo from Luxor, a good speaker of Romanian, even though he was Arabic. Very serious and respectful employees, decent prices, but words are superfluous. I would call this agency whenever I return to Egypt without thinking twice.
