AndriiDenmark We are extremely satisfied with this tour and highly recommend it! Everything was perfectly organized. We were picked up from our hotel, transferred to the airport, and in Cairo we were warmly welcomed by our guide, Ekramy. We had a private car with a driver, visited the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, the Papyrus Museum, and enjoyed a delicious lunch. A special thanks to Ekramy. He is incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent. He spent the whole day with us, answered every question, and shared fascinating stories about both ancient and modern Egypt. His explanations in the museum made every exhibit come alive. The Papyrus Museum was also amazing, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. This was one of the best tours we have ever had. Everything was perfectly organized. Our rating: 100/10! ☺️

Wir hatten heute einen unvergesslichen Tag in Kairo mit unserem Guide Hany. Unser Ausflug führte uns zu den beeindruckenden Pyramiden von Gizeh und in das Große Ägyptische Museum – zwei absolute Highlights, die durch Hanys großartige Führung noch viel beeindruckender wurden. Hany verfügt über ein enormes Wissen über die Geschichte Ägyptens und hat alles verständlich, spannend und mit viel Leidenschaft erklärt. Jede unserer Fragen wurde ausführlich beantwortet, und man hat gemerkt, wie sehr ihm sein Beruf am Herzen liegt. Besonders positiv war, dass er jederzeit auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen ist und den Tag perfekt an unsere Interessen angepasst hat. Dank seiner freundlichen, geduldigen und zuvorkommenden Art haben wir uns den ganzen Tag über bestens aufgehoben gefühlt. Man merkt sofort, dass Hany viel Erfahrung hat und seinen Gästen ein unvergessliches Erlebnis bieten möchte. Wir können diesen Ausflug nur weiterempfehlen.
