Am fost in trei excursii diferite cu ei, am incercat si cu altii inainte, dar ei sunt premium. Urmeaza a patra excursie si iar pe viitor raman clientul lor !

Super serioși, am ales 4 excursii de la această agenție , servicii și comunicare bună, prețuri corecte și fără costuri ascunse, ghidul Mimo a ridicat excursia din Luxor la superlativ.

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.

tour superbe, Carnac et la vallée des rois un régal , surtout avec notre guide en français

March 4, 2026

nous avons passé une superbe journée, avec ces visites dans l’egypte ancienne et les trésors que nous a fait découvrir notre guide, féru d’histoire , attentif à nous garder dans le récit. Même si le trajet peu paraitre un peu long, le fait de faire un arrêt au milieu nous a permis de ne pas sentir la distance.

Le plus ce sont les pendentifs aux noms de nos enfants gravées avec les hiéroglyphes.
