Excursions of Gene and Cheburashka.
I've read about them on other resources like norm reviews.
We took a tour to Cairo. Yes, the prices are very low, we went for only $ 40 + 30 visa.
But we were promised a Russian-speaking guide. Yes, he was, but very little. The guide himself spoke Russian, but very poorly.
I liked Cairo very much.
The bus for 3 will pull. The air conditioner was working, the chairs were folding.
There was not enough information at all. It's a pity my first pyramid went like this.
If you want to save money and you don't need information, then it's a great option.
A complete disappointment. This agency was chosen in vain. So we also paid $30+$10 (for ATVs) (only $ 40) per person, and the other guys paid $20 for everything. Well, for 20 I would be silent at all. Over 40.. no, not too little, but not what is stated at all 😤
But this is bullshit, the main thing is not compliance with the declared program
So, what was stated and what actually happened:
1. "You will be taken from the hotel in a jeep by a Russian-speaking guide the whole trip" (the author's grammar is preserved)
- They took us 15 minutes later than the stated one and we already began to think that there are * us. But it happens
- A bus full of people of different nationalities. Yes, it's not a jeep, but a minibus. There will be Jeeps, but later
- There was an Italian woman, a couple from Holland, a couple of locals and the rest of the Russians. And of course there could not be a guide. More precisely, he seems to be, but not a guide. Doesn't say anything. Just where we arrived and when we leave next. I mean, the tour itself, when they tell you something, don't wait.
2. "Visit the Bedouin village, tea"
After the fact, we realized that the 5-minute stop for the toilet was the same "Bedouin village". It's a pity they didn't say it right away
3. "Walk through the valley for 1.5 hours"
Well, how much is there.. 40 minutes and everything is running running
4. "Access to the Abu Jalum Nature Reserve"
Again, we realized after the fact that we stood on some border for 20 minutes without information, admiring passing garbage trucks, this is the same access
5. "Camel ride (20 minutes)
Five. Five minutes. And then the children ask for money very importunately. Well, 20 minutes is a lot, but why lie?
6. "Wander across the sea to the blue pit. Swimming in the Blue Hole Nature Reserve for 1.5 hours"
I can't tell you how long we swam. But it wasn't a Blue hole. According to the map, she was far from this place. And the reef at our hotel was much better. Just bought in the sea
7. "Including lunch at the restaurant"
Well, it's not a restaurant. And the campsite where we changed clothes. Sitting on pillows on the floor and all that. They brought only rice, a piece of chicken and two slices of potatoes. Drinks are paid.
8. Visit to the city market
Well, they brought some kind of razvedilov to the point again, thanks for not taking long.
9. ATV
It was 45 minutes. This is really a top. But there are separate trips stupidly for the quadric. It's really cool. It's all business in the desert. But those who didn't pay just waited for us on the bus
10. Transfer to the hotel at 17:00
And there's a mistake. We were at the hotel at 19:00
As if it were a trifle, but it was possible at least not to lie about the time. It is clear that such an excursion cannot be so short
I understand that for such a price it could not all be met. But you either raise the price, or do not write what is not there.
