Great service, the excursions are cheaper than through a tour operator. A great Russian-speaking guide, Omar. He tells everything in such an interesting, engaging way, the day flew by. We went on the pyramids + new Giza museum excursion, had a great time, even the 7-hour drive there and back didn't spoil the experience!!!
A big thank you to the team for organizing our vacation in Hurghada. We booked three excursions: the All-in-One sea trip, submarine+snorkeling+parasailing, and the combined Cairo trip. We loved everything, a sea of positive impressions. The transfer from our hotel (we were staying at Aqua Mondo) was always on time, everything organized down to the minute).. I won't write too much, everything's described on the website exactly as it is. Special thanks to the coolest guide, Basima, you won't find people this driven, sharp, and who genuinely love their work — and the history of Egypt — anywhere else. It was genuinely interesting and informative *without any fluff* 🤌🫶🫶
