Super bien! Nos buscaron por el hotel y nos regresaron al finalizar. El guía fue muy amable y sabía muchísimo. Recomiendo la experiencia, se recorren muchos lugares que están distantes unos de otro y sería imposible hacerlo de otra manera. El transporte era confortable y con aire acondicionado Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent! They picked us up from the hotel and brought us back at the end of the tour. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the experience; you visit many places that are far apart, and it would be impossible to do it any other way. The transportation was comfortable and air-conditioned.

Parabéns ao funcionário da Civitatis, Ahmed por ser tão cuidadoso e atencioso. A nossa guia era incrível! Falava um ótimo português e nos encantou com toda a história do Egito. Almoçamos em um lugar muito gostoso e especial, em frente as pirâmides. Translate this opinion into English.

Un tour praticamente fatto da privati perché eravamo solo noi con una guida Ibraim preparatissima, gentile e simpaticissima. La giornata è volata via e non si è sentita la fatica per il clima di amicizia che su è creato. Autista perfetto perché sempre puntuale e presente nelle varie tappe. Chiaramente i luoghi visitati sono stati incredibili!!!! Translate this opinion into English.

A tour practically done by private individuals because it was just us with a very well-prepared, kind, and super friendly guide, Ibraim. The day flew by and we didn't feel tired due to the atmosphere of friendship that was created. The driver was perfect, always punctual and present at the various stops. Clearly, the places visited were incredible!!!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Il percorso proposto prevede vari saliscendi tra mezzi diversi dentro la vasta area di Giza, e un viaggio non breve a Menfi e Saqqara, è bene saperlo. È andato tutto bene con una buona guida che ci ha illustrato le piramidi di Giza, la Sfinge, l'area di Menfi e di Saqqara. Abbiamo imparato tante cose e il pranzo nel locale scelto è stato buono e gustoso. Civitatis offre dei servizi eccellenti! Translate this opinion into English.

The proposed itinerary includes several ups and downs on different vehicles within the vast Giza area, and a rather lengthy trip to Memphis and Saqqara, which is good to know. Everything went well with a good guide who showed us the Giza pyramids, the Sphinx, the Memphis area, and Saqqara. We learned a lot, and lunch at the restaurant we chose was delicious. Civitatis offers excellent services! Opinion translated. Show original.

El cuanto a la gestión de tour lo que más me ha gustado es la coordinación, desde al día Anterior Mustafa se contactó conmigo para coordinar, el día del tour fueron muy puntales; me llegaron a recoger al hotel en la hora indicada. Luego de recoger todos los participantes nos dejó con el guía Kamal quien lideró el tour, se hicieron todas las actividades una vez finalizado, comimos y luego me regresaron al Hotel, todo es muy seguro y se preocupan en todo momento por el bienestar del turista. Translate this opinion into English.

Regarding the tour management, what I liked the most was the coordination. The day before, Mustafa contacted me to coordinate, and on the day of the tour, they were very punctual; they picked me up at the hotel at the scheduled time. After picking up all the participants, they left us with the guide Kamal, who led the tour. All the activities were completed, we had lunch, and then they returned me to the hotel. Everything is very safe, and they care about the well-being of the tourist at all times. Opinion translated. Show original.

La experiencia en las pirámides fue buena. Lo malo son las paradas impuestas. Perfumes, especias, papiros, prendas de algodón. Son turistas traps. El guía insistió en llevarnos a una tienda de algodón, con precios inflados y luego descuentos. Al final caímos, y compramos algo de calidad cuestionable a precio premium. Luego en Zamalek, te das cuenta que hay tiendas de algodón mejores con mejor precio. Civitatis, el turista evoluciona. Queremos experiencias. Estas paradas deberían ser opcionales.

The pyramid experience was good. The downside was the forced stops. Perfumes, spices, papyrus, cotton clothing. They're tourist traps. The guide insisted on taking us to a cotton shop with inflated prices followed by discounts. In the end, we caved and bought something of questionable quality at a premium price. Later, in Zamalek, you realize there are better cotton shops with better prices. Civitatis, tourists are evolving. We want experiences. These stops should be optional.

O passeio foi maravilhoso!!!! Quero agradecer em especial a Guia Azma por todo auxílio, assistência e ter feito um diferencial no dia. Nos levou a lugares incríveis e fez o passeio ser o melhor com suas explicações e toda atenção!!!! Pegamos tour de o dia inteiro o almoço incluso é bom mesmo e o transfer pro hotel tbm. Recomendo que peguem sim a entrada a parte pra dentro da pirâmide para ter uma experiência completa. E andar de camelo também. Muito obrigado a Guia Azma por tudo Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was wonderful!!!! I want to especially thank Guide Azma for all her help, assistance, and for making a difference on the day. She took us to incredible places and made the tour the best with her explanations and all her attention!!!! We took the all-day tour, the included lunch is really good and the transfer to the hotel as well. I recommend getting the separate entry to go inside the pyramid for a complete experience. And riding a camel too. Thank you very much to Guide Azma for everything Opinion translated. Show original.

E' stata una bellissima esperienza. La guida è stata eccellente, molto preparata ed appassionata e ci ha accompagnato nella visita con cortesia e gentilezza. Non posso mettere il voto massimo semplicemente perché, a causa di una forte piovuta nella notte si è intensificato il traffico, già molto caotico, per raggiungere le destinazioni ed abbiamo accumulato un pò di ritardo. Per questo non è stato possibile accedere all'area appena sotto la sfinge, che aveva chiuso pochi minuti prima.

It was a wonderful experience. The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and passionate, and accompanied us on our visit with courtesy and kindness. I can't give it a top rating simply because heavy rain overnight intensified the already chaotic traffic to reach our destinations, and we were a bit late. As a result, we weren't able to access the area just below the Sphinx, which had closed a few minutes earlier.

Pirámides de Giza y Menfis muy interesante, muy recomendable Saqqara horrible, al acceder al templo hay una plaga de moscas, por la que tienes que pasar obligatoriamente (no hay otro camino), y se te quedan en la ropa pegadas Restaurante para turistas, no fue del todo malo para donde suelen llevar otras excursiones Recomendaría tour al completo sin ninguna duda, a ver si pueden exterminar las moscas de Saqqara, es una pena, es un lugar también interesante (pirámide escalonada, tumbas, etc)

The pyramids of Giza and Memphis were very interesting and highly recommended. Saqqara was horrible; upon entering the temple, there was a plague of flies that you had no choice but to walk through (there was no other way), and they stuck to your clothes. The restaurant was geared towards tourists, but it wasn't too bad compared to what other tours usually take you to. I would definitely recommend the full tour. Hopefully, they can exterminate the flies in Saqqara; it's a shame, as it's also an interesting place (step pyramid, tombs, etc.).

Lamentamos que la plaga de moscas haya afectado tu experiencia en Saqqara, aunque nos alegra saber que el restaurante fue aceptable. Agradecemos tu recomendación del tour a pesar de este inconveniente. Tu feedback es muy valioso para nosotros. Translate this opinion into English.

Trop de rabatteurs qui nous empêchede profiter de l'expérience pleinement, chameaux et chevaux à bout de force au nom de l'instagramable. Les pyramides sont toutefois magnifiques, et le sphinx est majestueux. Erreur sur le bon où il est écrit 8h d'excusrion, c'était un 8h30-13h, ça prête à confusion. Guide sympa. Il nous a proposé pleins de visites de boutiques en option que nous avons refusé.

Too many touts that prevent us from fully enjoying the experience, camels and horses at the end of their strength in the name of being 'instagrammable'. The pyramids are, however, magnificent, and the sphinx is majestic. There was an error on the voucher where it stated 8h of excursion, it was actually 8h30-13h, which is confusing. Friendly guide. He offered us plenty of optional shop visits which we declined.

Chez Civitatis, nous travaillons uniquement avec des prestataires qui traitent les animaux de manière éthique et respectent les normes en vigueur. Nous nous assurerons de continuer en ce sens et vous remercions pour vos commentaires.

L'Egitto è meraviglioso, la guida simpatica e attenta ai dettagli. Unica pecca mi è sembrato un tour de force, abbiamo mangiato alle 15 e velocemente per correre da un posto all'altro. Forse era meglio vedere meno cose ma con più calma. L'organizzazione è stata comunque molto buona. Translate this opinion into English.

Egypt is wonderful, the guide was friendly and attentive to detail. The only flaw was that it seemed like a tour de force; we ate quickly at 3 PM to rush from one place to another. Perhaps it would have been better to see fewer things but take our time. The organization was very good, however. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía Taha fue súper amable, atento, detallista y profesional. 100% recomendable. Hicimos el tour largo de varias horas, contestó todas nuestras preguntas sobre la cultura egipcia antigua, situación política, islamismo. Una pareja quería probar falafel y consiguió de cortesía para el grupo. También, al no tener moneda local para ir al baño en Memphis, nos ayudó. Al finalizar el recorrido, nos dio consejos/recomendaciones para el resto de los días que nos quedan en Egipto. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Taha was incredibly friendly, attentive, detail-oriented, and professional. 100% recommended. We took the longer tour, which lasted several hours.

He also helped us when we didn't have any local currency to use the restroom in Memphis. At the end of the tour, he gave us tips and recommendations for the rest of our time in Egypt.

Visitamos: Piramides de Guiza, Saqqara, y Memphis. La comida mejorable, aunque el recibimiento fue espectacular! Nuestro guía, Faud, tenía poca energía. En las pirámides de Giza nos hizo falta mucha explicación. Solo en momentos tenía plática amena. Muchas visitas a tiendas de turistas, pero me dio tiempo de comprar un par de cosas que no visité en el otro tour del mercado (perfumes, papiro, algodón). Al final decliné la oferta de visitar una tienda de especias, por que pareció un tour de compra
