Nôtre guide Hamdi a été très sympathique mais on nous avions payés pour le vol en montgolfière qui a été annulé sans raison fondée quelques heures seulement avant que le chauffeur nous récupère, alors que le prix de l'excursion est conséquent. Les chauffeurs avaient énormément de retard apres ca ils nous ont posé dans un restaurant hôtel miteux pendant plus d'une heure sans raison, nous devions manger un petit déjeuner et a la place nous avons eu juste des cafés et encore nous avons du le quémander. L'excursion proposé n'est pas a la hauteur du prix que j'ai payée !

Hamdi our guide was very professional with us. We did a very good time to learn the Egyptian story. Good moment.

Amazing day with some incredible experiences, and I'd highly recommend if you're thinking of visiting Egypt. Our guide Hamdy was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Hamdy a été un super guide. Cependant, cette excursion est peut-être condensée sur trop peu de temps. Il est clairement impossible de dormir dans le bus, et enchaîner une telle journée après une nuit blanche n’est pas évident. Mis à part cela, nous avons eu très très chaud, le repas était bon et les visites étaient cool. Gros big up pour la montgolfière !! 🎈

Nous avons passé une excellente journée avec Adams comme guide, il nous a permis de comprendre mieux l’histoire des Rois et des Pharaons, pour ce qui est des ballon c’est juste incroyable ! Si vous souhaitez passer une excellente journée avec un bon guide ds demandez Adams.

Het was absoluut de moeite waard, Adam was een geweldige gids en de uitleg die hij gaf was zeer interessant. De ballonvaart was ook zeer spectaculair en interessant, blij dat we dit gedaan hebben en zeker blij dat het doorging deze dag omdat het uiteraard weer afhankelijk is. Bedankt voor deze geweldige ervaring, we raden het iedereen aan

Our driver Hussain was excellent throughout. He was always close by and looked after us throughout. The balloon ride was unfortunately cancelled due to the weather but the timings remained the same. Our guide for the day tour was called Hamdy. His knowledge was amazing and he was always close to look after us. After visiting the historical sites, we had a lovely lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Nile and then finished the day on a great boat ride along part of the Nile.
