La guía ha hecho un buen trabajo, se ha portado muy bien. La organización un desastre. Nos retrasaron el Inicio del tour a las 7.45h, y después a correr todo el día porque cerraban las ruinas. Íbamos a comer a las 17h de la tarde. Muy decepcionados.

The guide did a great job, being very attentive. The organization was a disaster. They delayed the start of the tour until 7:45 a.m., and then we had to run around all day because the ruins were closing. We were supposed to eat at 5:00 p.m. Very disappointed.

En nuestro viaje a Egipto, teníamos contratados 4 tour con Civitatis, este fue el único que verdaderamente el guia hablaba español, Tamer además de un conocimiento profundo del idioma, conoce bien la historia de Egipto, sus explicaciones son de gran ayuda incluso para entender cosas que vimos en el resto de tours y nadie nos explicó. Translate this opinion into English.

On our trip to Egypt, we had booked four tours with Civitatis. This was the only one where the guide actually spoke Spanish. Tamer, besides having a deep knowledge of the language, knows the history of Egypt well. His explanations were very helpful, even in understanding things we saw on the other tours but no one explained to us. Opinion translated. Show original.

Esperienza bellissima, con una guida eccezione, preparata, gentile, simpatica. Il suo consiglio di provare a salire sul cammello è stato un successo...indimenticabile.Ci ha dato consigli molto utili per il nostro soggiorno dei prossimi giorni e ci ha consigliato visite in luoghi da non perdere. Grazie Translate this opinion into English.

A wonderful experience, with an exceptional guide: knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. His recommendation to try camel riding was a success...unforgettable. He gave us very useful advice for our next few days' stay and recommended must-see places. Thank you. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nulla da dire sulla guida, preparata, che ci ha dato a grandi linee nozioni di base per capire quello che stavamo vedendo. Nota negativa: prelevati dal nostro albergo alle 7:30 e portati a pranzo alle 16:30. Tutto il giorno sotto al sole e senza nemmeno una pausa ristoro. Purtroppo come spesso accade in Egitto, sembra tutto “preparato” per condurti nelle classiche trappole per turisti a fare shopping inutile.

Nothing to complain about the guide, who was knowledgeable and gave us a basic understanding of what we were seeing. On a negative note: we were picked up from our hotel at 7:30 and taken to lunch at 4:30 PM. All day under the sun and without even a break for refreshments. Unfortunately, as often happens in Egypt, everything seems "set up" to lead you into the classic tourist traps and do pointless shopping.

Todo excelente, menos la alimentación, pues desgraciadamente tomamos todos los tours con civitatis y el menú dormir era el mismo, no es malo pero 4 días seguidos comiendo el mismo plato no es chévere, sugiero un plan buffet o en su defecto varias el menú según el tour, si uno periodos conocer diferentes platos típicos y no incursión en la monotonía Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was excellent, except the food, because unfortunately we took all the tours with Civitatis and the sleeping menu was the same, it's not bad but 4 days in a row eating the same dish is not cool, I suggest a buffet plan or failing that, vary the menu according to the tour, if one periods get to know different typical dishes and not incursion into monotony Opinion translated.

El tour fue excelente. Nos recogieron a la hora programada y el guía, muy atento y con gran nivel de español, compartió explicaciones interesantes durante todo el recorrido. La experiencia fue completa y enriquecedora, además hicimos una parada para almorzar en un lugar muy bueno. Un tour largo, bien organizado y muy recomendable Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was excellent. We were picked up at the scheduled time, and the guide, very attentive and fluent in Spanish, shared interesting explanations throughout the tour. The experience was complete and enriching, and we even made a stop for lunch at a very nice place. A long, well-organized tour, highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Pasamos un día agradable en compañía de nuestro guía Essam, pero no volvería a coger el tour con guía, ya que se puede aprovechar mucho más el tiempo si vas por tu cuenta. Los guías te llevan a tiendas, con las que pactan una comisión previamente, para que compres artículos a un precio más elevado. Si te gusta ir de tiendas, perfecto, pero es verdad que se pierde el tiempo que pensabas que tenías para ver los monumentos.

We spent a pleasant day accompanied by our guide, Essam, but I wouldn't take a guided tour again, as you can make much better use of your time on your own. The guides take you to shops, with whom they agree on a commission beforehand, so you can buy items at a higher price. If you like shopping, great, but it's true that it wastes the time you thought you had to see the monuments.

L'escursione è stata ben organizzata. Il personale è super disponibile e gentile. Sono arrivati a prenderci all'orario prestabilito in hotel. Abdoul è molto preparato, simpatico e amichevole. Parla benissimo l'italiano e ci ha supportato in tutta l'escursione nel migliore dei modi. Se dovessi ritornare in Egitto sceglierei ancora Civitatis Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was well-organized. The staff was super helpful and friendly. They picked us up at the hotel at the scheduled time. Abdoul is very knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. He speaks excellent Italian and provided excellent support throughout the excursion. If I were to return to Egypt, I would choose Civitatis again. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hicimos el tour de 8 horas y fue una gran experiencia. Nuestro guía Nasher explicó todo con claridad y gestionó bien los tiempos. Visitamos Giza, Menfis y Saqqara, aunque la tumba de Mehu estaba cerrada. La comida fue abundante y rica, aunque se sirve tarde, sobre las 13:00, lo que con el calor se nota. Sería ideal que incluyeran agua. Aun así, un tour muy completo y recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the 8-hour tour and it was a great experience. Our guide, Nasher, explained everything clearly and managed the time well. We visited Giza, Memphis, and Saqqara, although the tomb of Mehu was closed. The food was plentiful and delicious, although it was served late, around 1:00 PM, which was noticeable in the heat. It would have been great if they included water. Even so, it was a very comprehensive and highly recommended tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía fue muy amable, las explicaciones fueron bastante completas y la visita se realizó de manera formidable. El tener la opción de entrar a las pirámides a comparación de otros tours hace que valga aún más la pena Lo único que no me encantó es que al final te llevan a las tiendas de esencias y algodón donde por supuesto se nota que se llevan su comisión aunque claro la compra es opciones y yo no la he realizado Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was very friendly, the explanations were quite thorough, and the visit was fantastic. Having the option to enter the pyramids makes it even more worthwhile compared to other tours. The only thing I didn't like was that at the end they take you to the scent and cotton shops, where of course they take a commission, although of course the purchase is optional and I didn't make it.

Classico giro ma tutto troppo di corsa e la nostra guida nonostante si percepiva che parlasse bene italiano è stata troppo frettolosa nelle spiegazioni che sono state veramente poche e sbrigative. Ovviamente ci sono state i classici stop al negozio di papiro e delle spezie

A typical tour, but everything was too rushed, and our guide, despite apparently speaking good Italian, was too hasty in his explanations, which were very few and cursory. Of course, there were the usual stops at the papyrus and spice shops.

Bravi autista e guida, il pranzo - che era previsto ed era già pagato nella cifra totale - è stato buono ma sarebbe corretto includere almeno l'acqua, anche considerando che la bottiglietta d'acqua il ristorante in cui era previsto il pranzo l'ha fatta pagare 1 euro e le bibite in lattina 2 euro (un po' eccessivo!).

The driver and guide were excellent. Lunch, which was included and already paid for, was good, but it would have been nice to include at least water, especially considering that the restaurant where lunch was scheduled charged 1 euro for a bottle of water and 2 euros for canned drinks (a bit excessive!).

Hubo explicaciones pero todo se visitaba con prisa, muy pendientes del tiempo. Desanimaba a entrar en las pirámides, cuando debería animar, pues merece la pena. Hay que avisar que con carnet de estudiante se paga la mitad, lo vimos al entrar en la pirámide de Keops cuando ya habíamos pagado la entrada completa, no son precisamente baratas. Se puede pagar con tarjeta. La tienda de papiros no está en el itinerario y quita tiempo de disfrutar de lo que sí quiero ver y he pagado.

There were explanations, but everything was visited in a hurry, very time-sensitive. It discouraged people from entering the pyramids, when it should have encouraged them, as it's worth it. It's important to note that with a student ID you pay half the price. We noticed this when entering the Pyramid of Cheops, after we had already paid the full price; they're not exactly cheap. You can pay by card. The papyrus shop isn't on the itinerary and takes away time from enjoying what I do want to see and have paid for.
