I learnt a lot. We followed by a short visit to a papyrus shop where I also learnt about the craft of papyrus making from the stems of papyrus plant. Finally we headed to the site of the mysterious Giza pyramids. So many discoveries yet to be made about this archeological site. Again, the guide was a mine of information.

Friendly, attentive, and convenientPosted on Claudio PenazziTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Un viaggio coinvolgente in usi e costumi di un paese fondatore della civiltà umana, di grandi architetture e grandi opere artistiche, di una grande storia a cui tutti siamo debitori. Con la grande storia sì accompagna una diversità di paesaggi, maestosi, coinvolgenti e affascinanti. La guida e l'accompagnatore entrambi egiziani, con la loro gentilezza e simpatia, hanno poi reso il viaggio ancora più interessante e divertente. Estremamente consigliato per tuttiPosted on Natacha LevyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons eu une super expérience avec eux ! Notre guide et notre chauffeur étaient tous les deux incroyables ! Le chauffeur d’une gentillesse sans pareil et le guide (anglophone) était très dynamique et super sympa. L’organisation a été vraiment simple et efficace. L’excursion s’est faite de l’aéroport du Caire puis jusqu’à Alexandrie. Merci à tous pour cette belle journée ! (Merci à notre chauffeur Mahmoud Khattab)Posted on F. S.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Een ontspannen dagtocht Een leuke dagtocht naar Alexandrië met een ontspannen gids en chauffeur. De aardige gids wist heel veel kennis op een spontane manier over te brengen. Ook noemde hij ons bij de voornaam wat het allemaal persoonlijker maakte. De gids gaf ons ook de tijd en de ruimte. Kortom, een zeer geslaagde dag! Een aanrader!Posted on Catalina LaverdeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excelente experiencia!!! Gracias a Mónica nuestro tour a las piramides fue inolvidable!!! El segundo Tour lo hicimos con Hany y fue tambien una experiencia increíble!🥰 La empresa estuvo pendiente de nosotros en todo momento y haciéndonos un buen seguimiento.Posted on Marcela LaverdeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had two tours with Sofy Egypt Tours and we really really enjoyed them. Mónica took us to the pyramids in a private car with a driver. They updated the tour with a Spanish speaking tour without charge, and she was so so nice and friendly. Our little girl was celebrating her birthday and she made sure she felt celebrated and happy. The next day we had a dinner in the Nile and we were served by Hany and he was so nice and friendly too. They again upgraded the boat without charge! Hany explained everything and helped us in the whole experience. He had a really comfortable and new car and the whole experience was great! Definitely recommend to use this company when you come to Egypt!Posted on qi wuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a very pleasant trip. Our driver and tour guide were very good. We saw 40 million-year-old whale fossils and beautiful lakes.Posted on Ilaria SpanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yasser khallaf migliore guida in assoluto, accompagnato dall'autista Yihie che ci ha accompagnato tutto il giorno, ti racconta l'Egitto con una passione e competenza che ti porta per forza ad amarlo, molto competente e molto simpatico, consigliatissimo.Posted on BELLO BUNUTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
