Good guide that accompanied us. The place is worth seeing, it gives an idea of Egypt that you don’t see if you are in the resorts. Too bad for the usual marchette to pay to the shops of useless stuff, tourists that if you want you look for yourself. Turisanda, forget it and take the time to visit x see the beauty of the country.
Grazie mille per aver condiviso la sua esperienza. Siamo lieti di sapere che ha apprezzato la guida e che la visita le ha permesso di scoprire un lato autentico del Paese, oltre ai resort. Questo è proprio uno dei nostri obiettivi principali. Ci dispiace, invece, che le soste nei negozi non siano state di suo gradimento. Teniamo a precisare che queste fermate non sono obbligatorie e il nostro intento è offrire agli ospiti l’opportunità di conoscere anche l’artigianato locale. Tuttavia, il suo feedback è per noi molto importante e lo utilizzeremo per migliorare ulteriormente l’esperienza e garantire che il tempo delle visite sia dedicato il più possibile alla scoperta delle bellezze del Paese. Grazie ancora per il suo commento e speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente in futuro per offrirle un’esperienza ancora migliore.
We stayed with Shazly Noby ( staff on the beach / pool ) in the afternoon for 3 hours in El Quseir ( 23 € ) incl. drink . A former phosphate factory , the citadel , the mosque , a bazaar and a walk along the promenade to , a cafe where there were drinks . All very informative and warm ! Highly recommended !! You are also insured through the hotel !
Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie die Tour nach El Quseir mit Shazly Noby genossen haben und dass Ihnen die Besichtigungen – von der ehemaligen Phosphatfabrik über die Zitadelle und die Moschee bis hin zum Bazar und der Promenade – gefallen haben. Besonders schön zu hören ist Ihr Lob für die informative und herzliche Betreuung. Vielen Dank auch für Ihre Weiterempfehlung. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder bei einer unserer Touren begrüßen zu dürfen!
The explanations are limited (in fact translation of the panels to the citadel and mosque) and the city particularly dirty but authentic

Nous transmettons votre remarque afin d’améliorer la qualité et la profondeur des commentaires fournis lors des visites.

Good driver, good Tito our guide, accompanied us and showed us many interesting and special things, without him we would never have seen! Excellent agency, I recommend it!
Grazie mille per la sua splendida recensione! Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato la professionalità dell’autista e il lavoro di Tito come guida. È un piacere sapere che grazie a lui abbia potuto scoprire luoghi e dettagli così interessanti. La ringraziamo per la fiducia e per aver consigliato la nostra agenzia. Speriamo di accoglierla di nuovo presto per un’altra bellissima esperienza!
Nice day trip, fine and friendly driver and nice guide Pedro in Quesir. Made all the effort and gave extensive explanations. We had a nice experience. This is the real Egypt and yet also confronting how poor this place actually is. There is a lot of potential for tourism, but such a fortress must be kept neat. I hope the government sees that.
Hartelijk dank voor het delen van jullie ervaring en de mooie woorden over onze chauffeur en gids Pedro! 🌸 Wat fijn om te horen dat jullie hebben genoten van de dagtrip en de authentieke kant van El Quseir hebben kunnen ontdekken. Het is inderdaad een bijzondere plek vol geschiedenis en karakter. We delen jullie wens dat deze unieke locatie goed onderhouden blijft, zodat haar schoonheid behouden blijft voor toekomstige bezoekers. Nogmaals bedankt voor jullie feedback, en hopelijk mogen we jullie in de toekomst opnieuw verwelkomen voor een volgende mooie ervaring in Egypte!
Very nice experience and really good to go away from your resort for such an afternoon, out of your 'luxury bubble' towards the real Egypt. Guide Pedro was top notch and made every effort to make it a successful tour. They should really clean up the fort and do some refurbishing here and there; cherish that heritage and there will be some more tourists. That's good for local sales.
Nogmaals bedankt voor het delen van je ervaring en de vriendelijke woorden over onze gids, Pedro! 🌞 We zijn blij dat je van de tour hebt genoten en de ware schoonheid van Egypte buiten het resort hebt kunnen ervaren. Quseir is een werkelijk bijzondere plek, doordrenkt van rijke geschiedenis en een enorm potentieel. We stellen je eerlijke feedback over de Citadel op prijs en hopen dat er meer aandacht zal worden besteed aan het behoud van dit waardevolle erfgoed, zodat toekomstige bezoekers er nog meer van kunnen genieten. We hopen je snel weer te mogen verwelkomen om iets nieuws in Egypte te ontdekken.
It wasn't just about tourism, it was about life and history. Our guide Dedo always had an open ear and responded to individual questions! Highly recommended ☺️👍🏻
Vielen Dank für Ihr wunderbares Feedback! 🌟 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie nicht nur die Tour, sondern auch die Einblicke in das Leben und die Geschichte genießen konnten. Besonders schön ist es, dass unser Guide Dedo auf Ihre individuellen Fragen eingegangen ist – wir sind stolz, so engagierte Guides im Team zu haben. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder bei einer unserer Touren begrüßen zu dürfen!
It was interesting to see how the locals live and discover the history that preceded them. Pedro our expert guide state really nice we found ourselves very well. I recommend doing this experience in the late afternoon from 5pm onwards. Because we did it at 1pm and walking in the 1pm sun was really challenging
Grazie mille per la sua recensione! Siamo felici che abbia trovato interessante scoprire la storia e la vita degli abitanti del posto. Pedro sarà sicuramente lieto di sapere che ha apprezzato la sua guida. Concordiamo sul fatto che il tardo pomeriggio sia un orario ideale per godersi l’esperienza in modo più piacevole. Speriamo di rivederla presto per un’altra avventura!
Nice trip, good guide, small trip from Marsa allam. Very quit place, good coffee at the end. Some nice old buildings and alot of history.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the trip and the peaceful atmosphere. It’s great to hear that you appreciated the history and the coffee at the end. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
We got a great overview of the city and its history. The German-speaking guide explained everything very well to us and tried very hard and took care of us. He responded to all our questions and wishes. The whole organization and handling of the booking was exemplary and this despite the fact that we had booked the tour only one evening before. We can only recommend these without restriction!! The old town is unfortunately very neglected and dilapidated in many places and you could make much more of it here. However, we found the few tourists and the originality of the city and of course the friendliness and openness of the people nice.

Gleichzeitig freuen wir uns, dass Sie die Ursprünglichkeit der Stadt sowie die Freundlichkeit der Menschen geschätzt haben. Vielen Dank für Ihre Empfehlung – wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder auf einer unserer Touren begrüßen zu dürfen! 😊
