Pobres explicaciones. No hubo tiempo suficiente para recorrer templos solo 30 minutos en karnak y 0 minutos en Luxor. Si uno paga un guia es para que agregue valor , que hable la mayoria del tiempo . no tan solo que te lleve a los lugares y compre las entradas para eso uno paga. No lo recomendaría

Poor explanations. There wasn't enough time to tour the temples—just 30 minutes in Karnak and 0 minutes in Luxor. If you pay for a guide, it's to add value, to do most of the talking. Not just to take you to the places and buy the tickets—that's what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend it.

La visita fue muy completa, el guía Saiyed Ismaid explicó todo de maravilla e hizo la visita muy amena y divertida. Recomiendo a todo el mundo que quiera tener una visión historia de esta parte de Egipto de la mano de profesionales. También tuvimos un conductor magnífico y un coche grande y espacioso para nosotros Translate this opinion into English.

Questa è stata la 6 gita prenotata in Egitto con Civitatis, perché la 5 era stata fatta al mattino con la stessa guida. Volevamo tornare in hotel per pranzare ma la guida ci ha consigliato un posto in cui fermarci. Al momento del conto ci siamo trovati a pagare per 3, come fosse scontato. Al rientro nel pomeriggio siamo stati sollecitati +volte a lasciare mancia all’autista e criticato la quant.per lui non suff.La mancia l’abbiamo sempre lasciata a chi ha meritato, senza queste imposizioni.

I travelled with my partner

In alcuni luoghi è consuetudine lasciare la mancia. Pertanto, le guide o qualsiasi operatore le chiedono, ma non le impongono mai. Siamo contenti che nonostante questo vi sia piaciuta l'attività.

Esta era mi quinta actividad en Luxor y, como el resto, fue increíble. Pero sobre todo porque todas las hice con Sayed Ismail, un guía excepcional y mejor persona aún. Un diez no es suficiente para valorar su trabajo y dedicación. Siempre atento a mis necesidades, a si quería más tiempo en cada lugar, etc. De no ser por él nunca habría podido disfrutar como lo hice. Tanto en los templos como en la tumbas, museos y demás. Para mí será siempre un amigo y lo recomiendo encarecidamente a todos.

El guía fue muy amable, pero creo que la explicación fue muy breve, puede mejorar. Lo negativo es que te llevan sin preguntar a mercados o fábricas de productos típicos, mencionando que será "para descansar" pero realmente el único objetivo es que compres (a precios muuuuy altos) y te sientes bastante presionado.

La nota es por el Guía Mahmud, no me gustó su forma d realizar el tour. caminaba adelante a su ritmo, nosotros corriendo detrás de él, acarreando a los 3 niños (el mayor de 7), sacando fotos a la rápida. Y su explicación era q el primero explicaba y despues daba tiempo para fotos. Pero sacar las fotos del inicio se complica cuando los 30 minutos te los da al final del templo. Ademas de ser poco carismatico y apatico, 0 feeling con los niños. El Auto era un sedan y los 5 ibamos atras apretados

Unfortunately, the feeling with the guide was not here, even if he was nice. We felt a lack on history details, information and the things to look at. We felt a little bit oppressed when the guide was not here by the people in the temples, having freedom is good but with company it is better.

I travelled with teenagers

Our guides strive to give all explanations in an accessible way for all participants, so the tour is approachable for everyone. We regret it was not as expected. We will take note of this to keep working on this matter.

1.non ci hanno comunicato l'orario in cui sarebbero venuti a prenderci all'hotel 2.si sono presentati con una macchina che non so neanche se si possa definire tale,maniglie rotte, le portiere non si aprivano, il sedile del guidatore era talmente rotto che lo schienale cadeva sui sedili dietro, sedili sfondati. 3.la guida era una donna gentile e simpatica ma purtroppo ci ha spiegato poco e niente, dopo averci dato qualche nozione si sedeva ai bar dei templi e ci lasciava girare da soli.

L'orario di ritiro è indicato sul voucher di prenotazione. Tuttavia, in caso di dubbio, forniamo i dati di contatto del fornitore per le richieste di informazioni. Per quanto riguarda il veicolo, ci assicuriamo che sia in buone condizioni per rendere il trasferimento il più confortevole possibile. Infine, ci dispiace che il lavoro della guida non sia stato di vostro gradimento, tuttavia abbiamo confermato che si tratta di una guida professionale che ha condotto il tour come di consueto.

Una tomadura de pelo, con prisas como si nos estuviera persiguiendo alguien, estuvimos solo 30 minutos en el primer templo, luego fuimos al otro y al cabo de media hora el guía dio por finalizado su trabajo y se fue. En total la visita a los 2 templos con guía duro 1 hora exacta. Además, se contenta de dar las explicaciones al inicio a la entrada del templo y luego vas tu por libre recorriendo el templo solo...la visita con el guía en total duro 1 hora exacta cuándo son 4 horas, para olvidar...

A joke, in a hurry as if someone were chasing us, we were only 30 minutes in the first temple, then we went to the other and after half an hour the guide finished his work and left. In total, the visit to the 2 temples with a guide lasted exactly 1 hour. In addition, he is happy to give the explanations at the beginning at the entrance of the temple and then you go on your own touring the temple alone... the visit with the guide lasted exactly 1 hour when it is 4 hours, to forget...

Los guías hacen lo posible por respetar los tiempos de la visita realizando el recorrido al completo y proveyendo todas las explicaciones necesarias. Aun así, sentimos si el ritmo seguido resultó acelerado. Ya hemos tomado nota de los comentarios para seguir mejorando. Translate this opinion into English.

El guía dio escasas explicaciones. Éramos sólo 4 y el guía se mantenía lejos. Sólo participaba para meternos prisa.

The guide gave little explanation. We were only 4 and the guide kept a distance. He was only participating to hurry us on.

El chófer llegó una hora tarde, excusándose cada 10 minutos y, finamente , ni cogía el móvil. Pensábamos que nos habían estafado. En vez de durar, por tanto, la actividad 4 horas, duró 3h. En esas 3h el guía corría mucho para explicar…francamente mal. Se repetía continuamente en lo que contaba y no nos enseñó las cosas como nos hubiera gustado. En resumen, no se lo recomiendo a nadie. Mejor buscar en foros taxista y guía para Lúxor. Una completa desilusión, porque los templos merecen la pena…

The driver arrived an hour late, excusing himself every 10 minutes and, finally, he didn't even pick up his cell phone. We thought we had been scammed. Therefore, instead of lasting 4 hours, the activity lasted 3 hours. In those 3 hours the guide ran a lot to explain… frankly bad. He repeated himself continuously in what he told and did not teach us things as we would have liked. In short, I do not recommend it to anyone. Better look in taxi driver and guide forums for Luxor. A complete disappointment, because the temples are worth it…
