July 5, 2026Ich habe diese Rundreise mit meiner Frau gemacht und wir sind beide sehr froh über diese Wahl. Unser Guide sprach sehr gut Englisch und erklärte die Geschichte verständlich und ohne Überfrachtung. Die Abholung war pünktlich auf die Minute und der Fahrer fuhr ruhig und sicher. Einer der schönsten Tage unseres Urlaubs.

April 18, 2026Byłem na tej wycieczce z żoną i oboje jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z wyboru. Krajobrazy i świątynie robią jeszcze większe wrażenie niż na zdjęciach. Obiad był obfity, świeżo przygotowany, a nasze prośby zostały uwzględnione bez problemu. Zarezerwowałbym ponownie bez wahania.

April 11, 2026We booked the Overnight Bahariya & White Desert Safari from Cairo and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Egypt. Timings were planned so that we reached the main sites before the crowds arrived. The sites themselves were even more impressive than the photos suggest. I would book it again without hesitating.

February 14, 2026Reservamos este circuito y fue lo mejor de nuestro viaje a Egipto. Los horarios estaban pensados para llegar a los monumentos antes que los grupos. El vehículo estaba limpio, con aire acondicionado y cómodo incluso en los tramos largos. Bien organizado de principio a fin.

February 12, 2026Fiz este circuito com a minha mulher e ficámos ambos muito satisfeitos com a escolha. O veículo estava limpo, com ar condicionado e confortável mesmo nos trajetos longos. Pelo que pagámos, a relação qualidade-preço é excelente. Um dia de que falaremos durante muito tempo.

January 10, 2026Nous avons comparé plusieurs agences avant de choisir ce circuit et nous ne le regrettons pas. Le véhicule était propre, climatisé et confortable même sur les longs trajets. La prise en charge s'est faite à l'heure pile et le chauffeur était prudent et posé. Si vous hésitez encore, réservez.

December 18, 2025We hebben meerdere aanbieders vergeleken voordat we deze rondreis kozen, en daar hebben we geen spijt van. We werden precies op tijd opgehaald en de chauffeur reed rustig en veilig. De bus was schoon, goed gekoeld en comfortabel, ook op de langere ritten. Echt aan te raden, zeker als je maar kort in Egypte bent.

December 13, 2025We booked the Overnight Bahariya & White Desert Safari from Cairo and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Egypt. Lunch was generous, freshly prepared, and they handled our dietary requests without any fuss. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. Well organised from start to finish.

December 7, 2025Byl jsem na tomto zájezdu se ženou a oba jsme s volbou moc spokojení. Za tuto cenu je to skvělá hodnota. Auto bylo čisté, klimatizované a pohodlné i na delších úsecích. Den, o kterém budeme dlouho vyprávět.
Anouk Doornbos
December 5, 2025Ik deed deze rondreis alleen en voelde me nergens misplaatst. De tijden waren zo gepland dat we vóór de grote groepen bij de sites waren. De lunch was ruim, vers bereid en met onze wensen werd zonder problemen rekening gehouden. Dank aan het hele team voor de goede zorgen.

November 17, 2025Мы забронировали этот тур и это стало главным впечатлением нашей поездки в Египет. Наш гид прекрасно говорил по-английски и рассказывал историю понятно и без перегруза. Обед был сытный, свежеприготовленный, наши пожелания учли без проблем. День, о котором мы будем ещё долго вспоминать.
Céline Poirier
November 6, 2025J'ai fait ce circuit avec ma femme et nous sommes tous les deux ravis de ce choix. Les horaires étaient pensés pour arriver sur les sites avant les groupes. Pour ce prix, le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Merci à toute l'équipe pour son accueil.
Ruby Hollis
October 30, 2025The Overnight Bahariya & White Desert Safari from Cairo was easy to book and even better in person than it looked online. Lunch was generous, freshly prepared, and they handled our dietary requests without any fuss. Our guide spoke excellent English and explained the history without overloading us. Highly recommended, especially if your time in Egypt is short.

October 26, 2025Comparamos varias agencias antes de elegir este circuito y no nos arrepentimos. Los horarios estaban pensados para llegar a los monumentos antes que los grupos. La comida era abundante, recién preparada, y atendieron nuestras peticiones sin problema. Bien organizado de principio a fin.
