Magnifique journée en compagnie de Hamdy pour visiter Louxor. Guide très souriant avec un très bon anglais qui permettent de vraiment bien comprendre l’histoire de l’Egypte. Très intéressant et investi. Visite dans la bonne humeur sous un beau soleil égyptien. Je recommande fortement! ❤️🇪🇬

Au départ je n’ai pas eu beaucoup d’informations concernant le déroulement de la sortie. D’abord une personne est venue me chercher, il ne parlait pas très bien anglais donc c’était compliqué et en étant seule dans la voiture, je me sentais peu rassuré. Puis on a rejoins d’autres personnes, nous sommes passés dans différents transports, sans explication. Pour la montgolfière, nous avons pris les derniers départs donc nous avons raté le levée du soleil car le guide de « Nice Tour » voulait prendre des photos avec sa pancarte etc. Donc on a raté le lever du soleil. Mais le tour en montgolfière était tout de même Impressionnant et très beau à voir ! Ensuite, avec le Guide Adam, tout s’est bien passé, il m’a tout expliqué en détail. Adam est un homme très dynamique et enthousiasme Donc j’ai vraiment apprécié la visite des monuments avec lui. Ensuite, j’ai navigué sur le feloupe avec Ahmed. Ahmed est génial il m’a appris pas mal de chose, j’ai apprécié ce moment sur le feloupe.

Hamdy och Mahmoud gjorde vår dag , super engagerade enormt duktig och engagerad, vänlig pedagogisk och intressant. lärt oss många spännande delar av den Egyptisk kulturen och historia. Resan var smidig och känndes trygg. killen som tog oss till luftballongen var därimot katastrof. helt oengagerad, lämnade oss bilen gav ingen info så hela vår buss undrade om han lämnade oss. väl i luftballongen var de magi, väldigt skicklig pilot. Rekomenderas starkt

Ballon ride was cancelled, which I understand was not their fault. However, we were informed only 1.5 hours before tour start. When I asked why we still had to leave so early despite the cancellation, they told us that a guide would pick us up earlier. Shortly after, our first driver switched us to another driver without any explanation. When arrived at our destination, we were left waiting for 3 hours in a coffee shop. There, we were not offered anything to drink and were given absolutely no information. The situation in the coffee shop was very uncomfortable. Three men were talking loudly/laughing the whole time, and they didn’t even bother serving us. It was impossible to relax. The only positive aspect of this tour was our guide Aladin. He was a very good, friendly, professional tour guide. Unfortunately, even during the tour we were taken to touristy shops where you felt almost forced to buy something. Overall, I do not recommend this tour It was poorly communicated, frustrating.

Het was een fantastische dag! Aladdin was een super vriendelijke guide en beantwoordde alle vragen. De ballontocht was onvergetelijk en een absoluut hoogtepunt. Ook alle historische monumenten waren heel erg mooi. Kortom, de ideale excursie om de belangrijkste delen van Luxor te zien in 1 dag vanuit Hurghada. Tip: de uitstap is wel heel erg vermoeiend dus dit is zeker niet for the weak

Notre guide Mohamed alazeb était tres sympathique avec nous, et nous a donné beaucoup de détails sur chaque visite. Il est vraiment passionné par ce qu’il fait et ça fait plaisir
