Vojtěch JanoušekJune 26, 2026 Rezervovali jsme tento výlet a byl to vrchol našeho pobytu v Egyptě. Krajina i chrámy působí ještě silněji než na fotkách. Za tuto cenu je to skvělá hodnota. Den, o kterém budeme dlouho vyprávět.

Étienne ZieglerFebruary 21, 2026 Nous avons réservé cette excursion et ce fut le point fort de notre séjour en Égypte. La prise en charge s'est faite à l'heure pile et le chauffeur était prudent et posé. Les paysages et les temples sont encore plus impressionnants qu'en photo. Si vous hésitez encore, réservez.
Rutger GrotenhuisFebruary 8, 2026 Deze excursie was eenvoudig te boeken en in het echt nog beter dan de beschrijving. Voor deze prijs is de kwaliteit uitstekend. Onze gids sprak uitstekend Engels en legde de geschiedenis helder uit. Van begin tot eind goed georganiseerd.
Céline HébertJanuary 6, 2026 J'ai voyagé seule pendant cette excursion et je ne me suis jamais sentie de trop. Le déjeuner était copieux, préparé sur le moment, et nos demandes ont été prises en compte sans problème. La prise en charge s'est faite à l'heure pile et le chauffeur était prudent et posé. Bien organisé du début à la fin.
Sergio SalazarNovember 26, 2025 Reservamos esta excursión y fue lo mejor de nuestro viaje a Egipto. Los paisajes y los templos impresionan aún más que en las fotos. Los horarios estaban pensados para llegar a los monumentos antes que los grupos. Muy recomendable, sobre todo si tienes pocos días en Egipto.
