EXCELLENT Based on 256 reviews Posted on Google dunia el aouabTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Esperienza fantastica, la raccomando! Giustino e la miglior guida possibile , 3 giorni indimenticabili a vedere le bellezze del Cairo . Ed è stato disponibile in tutto, parla italiano molto bene ed è una persona preparata e di gran cuore Sofy Egypt Tour é il miglior tour che possiate trovare, hanno fatto il programma studiato sui nostri desideri e non ci hanno fatto mancare nulla. Tarek il nostro autista è stato impeccabile, ci ha accompagnato in tutto per 3 giorni sempre col sorriso e sopportato ogni richiesta . Affidatevi a loro , non ve ne pentirete, sono persone oneste e di gran cuorePosted on Google Michele AlberghiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Questa è stata la nostra prima giornata di due escursioni previste insieme alla guida Giustino e all’autista Tarek e ci siamo trovati davvero benissimo. Sono due persone che ci sentiamo di consigliare senza esitazioni. Giustino, oltre ad essere molto preparato, è una persona estremamente piacevole e alla mano. Durante tutta la giornata è stato sempre disponibile, anche nel fermarsi nei punti più belli e caratteristici per scattarci qualche foto e permetterci di conservare un bel ricordo del viaggio. Parla molto bene italiano e, all’occorrenza, ha un inglese ancora migliore. Tarek ci ha conquistati con la sua simpatia e la sua disponibilità: sempre sorridente, attento e soprattutto abilissimo nel districarsi nel traffico caotico de Il Cairo. È un aspetto di cui avrete ampia considerazione sopratutto se il traffico egiziano vi mette un po’ di ansia, avere al volante qualcuno di cui vi fidate fa davvero la differenza. Con lui ci siamo sentiti tranquilli e al sicuro in ogni momento. Il tour è iniziato alla piramide a gradoni di Saqqara, spiazzante per la sua grezza bellezza e inserita in un contesto che si palesa come splendida testimonianza di una storia che si calcola in migliaia di anni. È indimenticabile. Siamo anche entrati nella piramide con il decoro del cielo stellato, esperienza claustrofobica ma ampiamente gratificante, abile Giustino a portarci ad inizio mattinata col “fresco” e senza altra gente. Ci siam goduti il posto, in altre condizioni sarebbe stato molto più difficile. Il tour ha proseguito a Menfi dove abbiamo chiacchierato molto di Corano e di relazione tra l’Islam e il paganesimo dei faraoni. Il tutto sulle balconate che giravano intorno alla statua gigante rovesciata di Ramses II. Esperienza di grande valore. Breve sosta ad una fabbrica manuale di tappeti in cotone egiziano, molto interessante sia per la parte realizzativa sia per quella espositiva, con più soldi in tasca avremmo sicuramente fatto follie. Il tour si è concluso al complesso di Giza, vicino al nostro albergo peraltro. Le piramidi esercitano un fascino ancestrale ed essere proprio lì dopo averle viste praticamente in tutte le salse tra film documentari e libri di storia è qualcosa di indescrivibile, sicuramente conservano il fascino e la potenza di tutta la civiltà che ne ha potuto e voluto la realizzazione. Letteralmente stregati dalla magnificenza.Posted on Google Adriano GrausoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Il tour è stata una esperienza meravigliosa. Non è solo l'insieme delle conoscenze di storia, architettura e arte ad averci colpito ma sopratutto la sua calorosa e discreta accoglienza al Cairo, città che è rimasta nei nostri cuori. Da tornare!Posted on Google HannekeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have a good experience with Sofy tours. They respond quickly to your questions on Whatsapp and they are very flexible in arranging a nice tour based on your preferences. Our tourguide Abdul explained us the history and present-day life of Egypt in an interesting and fun way! We would book with them again!Posted on Google Hüseyin GökerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Merhaba ben Hüseyin, eşimle beraber piramit taraflarını cami ve tarihi bölgeleri gezmek için gelmiştik Abdül bey bize rehberlik yaptı kendisine bize verdiği detaylı bilgiler ve yardımları için çok teşekkür ederiz çok iyi ve kibar bir insan biz eşimle çok memnun kaldık gerçekten ilgi çekicek güzel yerleri var çarşısı tarihi yerler ve camileri ve ayrıca şöförümüz gayet iyi ve zamanında geliyordu çok teşekkürler 🙏Posted on Google tom schurenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. wij hebben het erg naar ons zin gehad. Hele fijne gids, ook de driver was erg goed. De gids gaf op een prettige en hele vriendelijke mannier uitleg. Je kon hem altijd vragen stellen en we hebben ook erg met hem gelachen. Zeker een aanrader!Posted on Google claudio trifiloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Piramidi, Sfinge + GEM Se vai in Egitto non puoi non fare questo tour! Ci ha guidato, in questa splendida giornata ,Felice Yasser ,preparato e gentile , racconta la storia di questa civiltà con molta passione .Posted on Google ali sTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took a Fayoum trip with them. I highly recommend this company. For my type of traveler they were perfect. I communicated with them on WhatsApp, they were very professional. I confirmed with them for the trip 10pm and then the driver was at my door 9:30 am next day. The driver was our local to deal with the locals. He picked us up on our time from our location and dropped as back. He made any detour we asked for (coffee), he even helped us order food so that as we arrived home we had hot food waiting for us. The trip we took was great. The guide went above and beyond. He arranged snowboarding, horse back riding, food, seeing the desert. Just a warning for Fayoum, we did this trip in June mid day so the heat makes it a difficult trip. PS: one thing the guide did was take us through a route that had bridge with an amazing view of the pyramids. I only realized that was not necessarily the fastest route while on our way back super tired.Posted on Google diana torres salamancaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
