Mohammed, il nostro driver, è venuto a prenderci davanti all'hotel e ci ha portati a destinazione e ritorno con una guida impeccabile. Hima, la guida egittologa, ha saputo guidarci tra le meraviglie di Alessandria, rispondendo a tutte le nostre numerose domande con dovizia di particolari. Consigliatissimo!
La guide et le chauffeur sont venus me chercher à l hotel. Je n ai donc pas eu á me casser la tete pour me rendre a un point de rencontre. La route pour se rendre à Alexandrie depuis Le Caire est environ 3h. La guide connaissait bien les lieux et me donnait plusieurs explications. Le fait d avoir un guide privé me permettait d aller á mon propre rythme.
From the moment of pick up from my B&B by Mohammad and Rahma from Amon Ra Tours, my journey to Alexandria became magical. The warmth and hospitality of both driver and guide were more than expected. I felt safe, welcomed, and part of an amazing adventure. Even though Rahma had done this trip so many times, I felt her excitement in showing me this city filled with history and splendour. Her knowledge of the sites we visited filled me with awe and took me back in time. This trip with Amon Ra Tours is an absolute must on your "Bucket List"
Muy lindo el viaje a Alejandría, conocimos todos los atractivos y tuvimos un buen rato, gracias a nuestra guía Amira Ezzat que nos hizo el tour en español y a Mohammed nuestro conductor, recomendable!
“My mom and I only did 2 1/2 days in Cairo and we used one of them to take this tour and it was definitely worth it! Our driver (Mohamed) was safe and quick and our guide (Hima) was knowledgeable and friendly. As two women touring alone we felt perfectly safe the entire time, even when an unforseeable car issue derailed our drive back to Cairo for a little bit. One thing I really appreciated was the communication leading up to the trip - the tour manager, guide, and driver all reached out via text so we never felt like we didn't know what was going on. We learned so much about an awesome ancie
Una giornata ad Alessandria in cui ho potuto vedere i punti principali grazie a Gogo, ottimo driver e Hima, la guida. Ho visitato le catacombe, Pompei valley, citadel e la biblioteca. Consiglio a chi viaggia da solo!
저의 이집트 여행에서 최고를 뽑는다면 1위 알렉산드리아 당일 여행 2위 카이로 나일강 디너 크루즈 3위 기자 피라미드 쿼드바이크 입니다. 이 3개의 투어 모두 Mido가 진행하는 투어이며, 가이드 Roma 와 운전기사 Gogo가 함께 참여한 투어였습니다. 저는 알렉산드리아에 대한 정보가 전혀 없는 상태였고, 심지어 그 지역에 관심이 전혀 없는 상태였습니다. 단지 저는 Roma와 Gogo가 너무 좋아서 그들을 하루 더 만나고 싶어서 투어를 신청하게 됐습니다. 알렉산드리아 투어는... 저 혼자였는데... 아마도 Mido는 하루 손해를 봤을지도 모릅니다. 하루 종일 긴 시간의 투어를 나를 위해 애써주신 세분께 너무 감사합니다. Mido와 Roma에게 고마웠던 점은, 그들은 투어를 진행함에 있어, 투어 전에 픽업 장소와 시간을 메세지로 저에게 계속 상기시켜 줍니다. 또한 그들은 제게 일정에 어려움이 없는지, 간혹 저의 일정에 문제가 생겼을 땐 바로 문제를 해결해 줍니다. Roma, 그녀는 영어를 잘 못하는 나를 위해 유적지의 역사, 이집트의 문화에 대해 번역기로 알려줍니다. 저는 사실 이집트의 역사에 무지한 사람입니다. 번역기를 이용한 그녀의 역사 설명에, 저는 그
The driver picked me up from my place in Cairo in a car with AC and took me to Alexandria, where we met up with the guide. There, he took me to the catacombes, theatre and citadel, where he told me their history in great detail. At the end, we went to the fish market, where he had a great lunch.
