Hello Ms. Jestädt

We have just spent an unforgettable week’s vacation in Egypt and would like to thank you for the exemplary organization and planning. We were also very lucky to have a great guide. Nasser knows a lot about history and culture. He introduced us to his country with great passion – we even had the opportunity to visit a typical Egyptian market! We will remember the excursions and the nice contact with the people very fondly.

Many greetings from Switzerland

Travel report of our unique birthday Egypt trip

In April, my wife and I planned a trip to EGYPT and found out about JESKA INSPIRATION on the Internet. Mrs. Jestädt gave us very good advice and put together a trip with 3 days of sightseeing in Cairo, then a 1-week Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan and then, after a transfer from Luxor to Hurghada, a 1-week beach holiday on the Red Sea.

Mrs. Jestädt kept us well informed about all the planning steps, so that we were able to prepare ourselves for what was to come before the trip based on the information and documents provided.

Everything went well on the trip itself:
In Cairo, our private tour guide picked us up at the airport; Mrs. Jestädt made a very good choice for 3 nights in Cairo with the Hotel Sofitel El Gezirah, which is located directly on the Nile: we had an oasis away from the hustle and bustle, and a spectacular view of the river from our room on the 17th floor. Our private tour guide, with a good knowledge of German, showed us the pyramids of Giza with great expertise, but also looked after us very well during the tour of the museum and finally the bazaar. The transfer with flight to Luxor to the Hotel Sonesta St. George went very well: wonderful location with a direct view of the Nile: beautiful, large pool area, several restaurants including a very good Japanese restaurant with a top chef.

The highlight was the Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan on the Nile ship “Alexander The Great”: In contrast to the numerous, relatively large motor yachts, Alexander The Great is a smaller ship that takes a maximum of around 60 guests, so that there was a pleasant, family atmosphere on the ship. On our trip the ship was only half full, which was very pleasant. We had an exclusive panoramic suite in the bow of the ship and were able to particularly enjoy the slow journey on the Nile. The catering with 3 meals, mostly buffet, also a la carte in the evening, and very attentive staff, was excellent and varied. The excursions during the trip were very well organized: I have to particularly highlight our private tour guide, Nasser: he not only showed us all the sights, temples, tombs, pyramids and the unique nature – in perfect German! – but also provided us with a lot of background information and history thanks to his wealth of knowledge and was a really pleasant, empathetic personality.

Finally, we spent a week’s beach holiday in Hurghada at the Marriott Hotel and then returned to Zurich on a pleasant Edelweiss flight.

All in all, we had a very nice and interesting time in Egypt, not least thanks to the good and reliable advice and planning from Ms. Jestädt. Finally, I would also like to mention that we got a very good deal in terms of price, as Ms. Jestädt is very well connected with Egypt.

Dear Ms. Jestädt,

We would like to thank you very much after our return from beautiful and interesting Egypt to the still wintry, cool Switzerland:

You gave us very good advice, the trip to Cairo, the Nile cruise and the subsequent stay in Hurghada were very well organized, the support from the local tour guides was very pleasant, competent and informative. It is extremely pleasant – especially when you are traveling in a country where perhaps not everything runs according to “German/Swiss” perfection – when everything works out as well as you organized it, and the choice of hotels also met our expectations exactly.

The people we came into contact with were without exception very friendly and helpful. On the Nile cruise we even met the owner of the yacht Alexander The Great, Mr. George Volopoulos.

Of course I must not forget the “surprise” you organized for my wife Sylvie’s birthday: it was a great success!

I could tell you about many more positive experiences, but words can’t describe everything very well. We felt very comfortable, it was a unique trip and experience. We will definitely recommend you if anyone in our circle of friends plans a trip to Egypt.

Many warm greetings from Switzerland
