Guestbook luxury culture trip – Kathleen and Uwe
Dear Ms. Jestädt,
Thank you again for the wonderfully planned trip.
We had a wonderful 17-day trip to Egypt from mid-April to early May 2024 and felt very safe and comfortable at all times. Your planning runs smoothly, we were very impressed by the close support from drivers, guides and tour guides and the constant contact and exchange with the agencies used. It was an all-round carefree package with which we were able to experience the cultural magic of the country paired with the genuine warmth and hospitality of the Egyptians.
The accommodations were all in fantastic condition and the food always met the highest European standards, so we even dared to try salads, fruit, ice cubes, etc. and did so without regret.
All drivers, guides and tour guides were incredibly friendly, courteous and patient. We always had a contact person, were always informed about the next day’s schedule and were in the best company at all times during transfers and tours.
Our hotel in Cairo – Sofitel El Gezirah – was beautiful, but when choosing a room we would prefer the Nile side, as there is a very loud air conditioning/generator house on the back – where our room was. The 2-day Cairo excursion package left nothing to be desired, included everything listed and was flexibly adapted to our wishes and the time available by our German-speaking guide. You always had the feeling that we were helping to shape it.
Our suite on the 7-day Nile cruise on the Sonesta Moon Goddess was fantastic (especially the private balcony at the bow and the side balcony), the crew was wonderfully friendly, the food excellent. Our German-speaking tour guide “guided” us perfectly through the impressive tour program at all times and was like a friend.
The hotel in Hurghada – Baron Palace Sahl Hasheesh – for 6 days was a dream, just as excellent and the best choice you can make. We were offered an upgrade to the “Swim up Suite” upon arrival, which we took advantage of immediately and which we would have booked in advance if it had been offered to us.
The hotel went to great lengths at check-in with a welcome drink etc.
Instead of a “Paradise Island snorkeling trip”, we recommend that you use the hotel’s own reef on your own or book a private snorkeling tour from the hotel.
We can recommend this trip so much. It was incredibly beautiful and we would book it again at any time.
Thank you again.
