La giornata era molto calda quindi si faceva fatica ad andare in giro e la guida soffriva molto il caldo. La guida in generale andava bene anche se ne ho avute di migliori nei giorni precedenti. La tomba di Nefertari purtroppo era chiusa e sarebbe stato bello vedere una tomba in più nella valle dei re avendo il tempo. Il tour in generale è buono ma il sito è molto grande e a mio parere dovrebbe durare più di mezza giornata per vedere più cose. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a very hot day, so it was difficult to get around, and the guide suffered greatly from the heat. The guide was generally good, although I've had better ones in previous days. Unfortunately, Nefertari's tomb was closed, and it would have been nice to see another tomb in the Valley of the Kings if we had time. The tour overall was good, but the site is very large, and in my opinion, it should last longer than half a day to see more. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy bien la explicación del guía y los traslados, pero no nos llevaron a el valle de las reinas más bien nos llevaron a una tienda de artesanías que no estaba en el itinerario.

The guide's explanation and transfers were very good, but they didn't take us to the Valley of the Queens, but rather to a craft shop that wasn't on the itinerary.

Hemos confirmado que tras la visita al Valle de los Reyes y el Templo de Hatshepsut, el guía informó al grupo que la siguiente parada sería el Valle de las Reinas. Algunos miembros del grupo mencionaron que preferían no ir, aunque las entradas ya estaban compradas. Translate this opinion into English.

Los lugares son impresionantes!!, el guía es muy simpático y servicial, pero demasiado básica su información. Vimos guías acompañando y explicando cosas durante todo el trayecto, cosa que a nosotros no nos sucedió. Te llevaban entre lugar y lugar a mercados para comprarar cosas que no nos interesaban, quitándole tiempo a los sitios de interés por los que pagamos

The places are impressive! The guide is very nice and helpful, but his information is too basic. We saw guides accompanying and explaining things throughout the journey, something that did not happen to us. They took you from place to place to markets to buy things that did not interest us, taking time away from the places of interest for which we paid

Nuestros guías son profesionales que se esfuerzan por impartir los contenidos del tour con el máximo rigor y dinamismo posible. Por otra parte, suelen hacer recomendaciones sobre ocio y restauración, cosa que los participantes suelen encontrar de interés. Sentimos que en este caso no haya sido como esperabas, y que el guía se haya excedido en este aspecto. Tomamos nota para seguir mejorando el servicio. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guides are professionals who strive to impart the contents of the tour with the maximum rigor and dynamism possible.

Ahmed Hussein hizo de esta excursión un valor agregado notorio. Valió la pena pagar un poco mas y contratar sus servicios. Nos explicó muchas cosas de historia, muy bien explicado y conciso. Tenia super buena disposición y energias positivas. También, me enferme de gripe y fue comprarme personalmente un remedio. Muchas gracias por todo Ahmed !! Translate this opinion into English.

Ahmed Hussein made this excursion a remarkable value. It was worth paying a little extra to hire his services. He explained a lot of history to us, very well and concisely. He had a super friendly and positive energy. I also got the flu, and he personally bought me some medicine. Thank you so much for everything, Ahmed! Opinion translated. Show original.

Agnifique visite prévue, malheureusement, comme a chaque excursion, le guide rajoute des arrêts imprévu pour arnaque touristes. Dommage, ca gache tjs les activités. Heureusement cette guide nous a qd même demandé pour les autres arnaques si on voulait les faire ou pas. Français pas toujours bien structuré, mais compréhensible.

Les guides font souvent des recommandations sur les endroits où faire du shopping, ce qui est généralement du goût des visiteurs. Ces recommandations sont faites avec les meilleures intentions. Nous sommes désolés que vous ayez eu une impression différente et que la visite ne se soit pas déroulée comme vous l'espériez.

La actividad estuvo excelente. El guía nos explicó todo muy bien y tuvo un excelente control del grupo y los tiempos. El traslado también estuvo muy bien, puntual, limpio y con aire acondicionado, lo que ayudó mucho porque el día estuvo terriblemente caluroso. No fuimos al Valle de las reinas por ese motivo lo cual fue decepcionante pero el calor lo justificó un poco. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was excellent. The guide explained everything very well and had excellent control over the group and the schedule. The transfer was also very good, punctual, clean, and air-conditioned, which helped a lot because the day was terribly hot. We didn't go to the Valley of the Queens for that reason, which was disappointing, but the heat made it somewhat worthwhile. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía, muy bueno, por su carácter , su conocimiento y sus explicaciones. La actividad, extremadamente cara con respecto a la misma en otras plataformas de servicios similares que no superaban los 30 € por persona, con lo que, a ese respecto, me siento estafado.

The guide, very good, for his character, his knowledge and his explanations. The activity was extremely expensive compared to other similar service platforms that did not exceed €30 per person, so, in that regard, I feel cheated. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una gran experiencia. Nuestro guía Nasser Guiana conocia a la perfección la historia de Egipto, nos explico todo al detalle. Como añadido y un detalle importante fue que nos preguntó si queríamos ir a un mercado de artesanías o a comer a un buffet, al decirle que no, no insistió ni una sola vez. Una experiencia que repetiríamos sin duda con el mismo guía. Translate this opinion into English.

A great experience. Our guide Nasser Guiana knew the history of Egypt perfectly, he explained everything to us in detail. As an added and important detail, he asked us if we wanted to go to a craft market or eat at a buffet. When we told him no, he did not insist once. An experience that we would undoubtedly repeat with the same guide. Opinion translated. Show original.

Esperienza molto positiva, nonostante qualche problema col pick up, l’agenzia locale ha risolto tutto ed è stata molto disponibile e gentile offrendomi praticamente un tour privato anziché in gruppo ed attività extra non previste dal programma. L’assistenza Civitatis è stata molto disponibile.

Unas de las mejores visitas que uno se puede hacer en Egipto, a solo hora de luxor. No alcanzaria mis palabras en describir tanta belleza dentro de cada tumba, le recomiendo ramses 5y6 vale 150le y se paga aparte pero es el mas bonitos de todos. El guia estuvo bien pero puede mejorar

Eccellente uso della lingua italiana della guida, spiegazioni di base e più avanzate di storia e storia dell'arte, ci aspettavamo che la guida ci seguisse anche dentro almeno alcuni dei luoghi visitati. Ottimi consigli su come gestire la visita, cosa e dove guardare, è stato bello partire presto e evitare la folla. Siamo rimasti stupiti dalla tutela forse un po' scarsa di alcune delle tombe e dell'insistenza per le mance delle guardie all'interno che rendono a volte anche spiacevole la visita.

Questa è stata la 5 gita prenotata in Egitto con Civitatis, perché la 6 era prevista per il pomeriggio stesso 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 tre senza nessuna motivazione, come fosse scontato. Al rientro nel pomeriggio siamo stati sollecitati più volte a lasciare mancia all’autista e criticato la quantità per lui non sufficiente.

El guía era una persona amable y hablaba muy bien español y conocía los monumentos. Sin embargo, debo indicar que el problema fue la agencia local, que nos juntó con otro grupo que no hacía las mismas excursiones que nosotros, lo cual provocó mucha tensión, porque no tenía sentido que estuviéramos en el mismo grupo. De nuevo, el guía fue hábil y supo resolver la situación. En definitiva, el guía fue el mayor valor de la excursión. La agencia fue un desastre.

The guide was a kind person and spoke very good Spanish and knew the monuments. However, I must point out that the problem was the local agency, which put us together with another group that didn't do the same excursions as us, which caused a lot of tension, because it didn't make sense that we were in the same group. Again, the guide was skillful and knew how to resolve the situation. In short, the guide was the greatest value of the excursion. The agency was a disaster.

No recibí el tour que había contratado, me dieron un recorrido extra por el que tuve que pagar más. Por lo tanto, todas las visitas fueron muy rápidas, el guía iba casi corriendo y no nos dio tiempo de disfrutar cada lugar. De manera obligatoria se hizo una parada en una tienda de artesanías donde fue muy incomodo tener a los vendedores insistentes encima.

I did not receive the tour I had booked, they gave me an extra tour for which I had to pay more. Therefore, all the visits were very fast, the guide was almost running and he did not give us time to enjoy each place. A mandatory stop was made at a craft store where it was very uncomfortable to have the insistent vendors on top.
