    We bought the ticket for meal as it’s also skip the line and we plan to have lunch up there anyways.
    It was a cloudy day, but the view was still very spectacular as there are no high buildings close by.
    It’s also revolving as I don’t think this was mentioned.
    However, the Food. Much is left to be desired. Drinks came quickly, the meal was a long wait, agree it was 2 pm but only about 6 people dining there. You would not expect food it to arrive not even luke warm, even the veges. if it was uber, most restaurants do better jobs.
    It’s hard to imagine that this restaurant has the concession. We had the duck and ostrich. . Tough and dry.
    Service was ok, we were there to enjoy the view, we spent 3 hours sitting there. We paid for that privilege and nothing more.
    It was incredibly disappointed. There are places to eat at the bottom, which we did as we were hungry.
    Only worth going up if you having a lazy day and didn’t want to do much walking, but drop the thought of nice meal

    We went on the Turkey 4 night trip. Istanbul and Cappadocio booked through Memphis and Latitude Tours in Turkey. First off the transfers the entire time was wonderful. The driver was always there to pick us up! Our Istanbul Tour guide was excellent, she was so knowledgable and we really enjoyed our time there. We saw everything. The Cruise on the Bosphorus was a favorite. We stayed at Dosso Dossi Downtown, absolutely beautiful and the staff was wonderful. The food and restaurants in Istanbul that were chosen were great! We flew to Cappadocia for 1 night and our car was there as we arrived. Our tour guide and driver were wonderful. We stayed at Dere Suites, it is a cave hotel, it was very cool. The food was not our favorite at this stop. But the Pistachio coffee stop was a must do. the sights in cappadocia are so amazing, we even visited a man that lives in the cave homes. The only regret is that I wish to have seen the balloons. But maybe next time. They do try and sell you goods, 3 stops: pottery, jewelry, and rugs. They do try and make it an experience for you though, but it was a bit awkward.

    Very nice place we had so much fun, the room is adventurous and the staff is great. The front desk helped me to get the appropriate room since we were different ages.

    It was an amazing couple of hours riding, i was made totally at ease even with my lack of experience. I felt comfortable with the horse i was riding and felt completely safe. Nicola was great at explaining things and the horses she has are well looked after. Riding in the desert with the pyramids in the background has made this experience unforgetable.

    The whole trip was amazing and unbelievably true! Khaled our tour organiser made the whole trip seamless and accommodated all our requests.

    This was our first besties trip and it was worthwhile. We wanted a private tour with car, driver and English speaking guide and proper accommodation. The Pyramids at Giza, the River Nile Cruise and the Hot Air Balloon were something we were eagerly waiting for. All the above was managed so well by them.

    All the tour guides, drivers, tour managers etc were all professionals and we never regretted any of it. I would like to name a few of them to give them the credit. Khaled, Ayman, Kareem, Ahmed, Amar, Aly, Sayed, Safy, Ibrahim and Abdo and I may have missed out some of them. These are all the staff who made us feel safe and gave us memorable trip. Thank you so much.

    I will recommend them to anyone!

    The Magical Morocco tour is definitely one to remember (for all the right reasons), it's amazing how much can be packed into 13 days with some savvy planning. Our guide, Omar, was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cared about making sure we got the most out of visiting his beautiful country, nothing was to much trouble and he was always there if we needed him. Our driver Ibrahim was excellent, always finding the smoothest bit of road to make the journey even more pleasant. This was our first time using On The Go and we will defiantly be using them again. Thanks Omar, you're an excellent ambassador to them!

    We spent 2 weeks in Egypt, and our itinerary was tailor made including 4 nights on a Dahabiya sailing from Luxor to Aswan, all put together by Sara Ragebh at Real Egypt according to our wishes.
    The planning was brilliant, and the actual trip was fabulous!
    Everything worked to plan without a single problem, and all contacts and guides were helpful, knowledgeable and very nice. We felt safe and cared for at all times.
    We were able to meet Egyptian people in their homes, make music and dance, and eat delicious authentic food.
    Apart from visiting many amazing temples and tombs we felt we were getting a very good insight into the 'real Egypt', away from the beaten tourist track.
    The absolute highlight was our Dahabiya sail with a fantastic crew and our excellent guide Moemen.
    We cannot recommend Real Egypt highly enough and will certainly use them again for our next Egypt visit.

    I did a lot of research before traveling to Egypt. I've made correct decision of choosing Mina as a Tour guide in Giza. He provided all helpful information and history knowledge. Also he's the best photographer!!

    “I had the most unforgettable experience with Egypt Day Tours on my trip to Egypt and Dubai! Every detail was flawlessly planned, from exploring the ancient wonders of the Pyramids and cruising the Nile to marveling at Dubai’s futuristic skyline and luxurious attractions. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, making the journey both educational and enjoyable. The accommodations, transportation, and overall service exceeded my expectations. This tour truly combined the best of history and modern luxury I can’t recommend Egypt Day Tours enough! A 5-star experience all the way!”

    Maktub agency tour takes care of every little detail from the beginning to the end of your trip. It was one of the best experience that I ever had in my life. I highly recommend it.

    We joined for the snorkeling day in Hurgadha with the excursion to Giftun island. The whole day was amazing! We especially loved the trainers: they were super friendly and professional and the photographer was really skilled and quick 😁 the timing of all activities was very well planned, the boat and the private beach were really wonderful. Lastly the price was perfect! Definitely highly recommended 😁

    It was a pleasure to visit Cairo and Luxor with Your Egypt Tours. The entire team was always available on short notice throughout the process: at proposal stage, after booking, during the trip and whenever we wanted to make small changes.
    Special thanks to Hatem and Mena in Cairo and Abdul in Louxor - you guys made our trip unforgettable!

    Since I was very happy with the pyramide, sphinx + camel-ride tour provided, I decided to book another tour. This time my family and I wanted to escape chaotic Cairo for the day and really wanted to see the dead sea without traveling too far by plane or by bus. Thats why the Full Day Tour to the red sea from Cairo, sounded like the perfect option for us. The tour includes:

    Transfer from/to and from your hotel (1,5/2 hours drive to Ain el Suknha)

    A driver + guide; Ours for the day were Hany + Ali. Hany is for real the best driver in Egypt and we absolutely enjoyed Ali’s knowledge, company and his care for us. Together they were a great team!

    Water + snacks (chips, popcorn)

    It also includes a super nice lunch at the hotel

    A day room at the beach front hotel. *PLEASE NOTE*; Make sure that you really get this, since this is included in the package. We we’re traveling with a child and thats the main reason I booked this tour. So that we besides relaxing at the pool and beach we could use our day room to shower and relax after the beach. So expecting that our room would be shown to us as first, would not have happened if I did not have asked for it. At first we were told that it only included a changing/shower room, which really was just a public toilet with a shower next to it.. In all honesty I did feel a bit fooled because it is literally mentioned in the description of the tour that a private beach front day room will be provided. And I felt that if I did not ask about the room that it would not be given it to us. All was solved by Ali when we mentioned the package description, but I just wanted to share this with fellow travellers that will or are going to book this tour and to make sure they get what they are paying for.

    We did have absolutely had wonderful day. The resort was beautiful and well taken cared off. Since its not high season it almost felt that we had the beach to ourselves. Loved it! I would recommend this tour everyone + Ali and Hany. They made this trip a memorable one for us and our son and when I ask what his favorite part of our trip to Egypt was he would without doubt say “ Our day trip to the Red Sea”!!
    English was super good and the car super clean!
    Major thanks to Ali for his guidance and offering many times to watch and play with our son. Ali is not Afoosh ;)!
    Also to Hany for entertaining him in the car with cartoons Nemo + Tom & Jerry :)!

    Next time I’ll come to Egypt we’ll book here again!

    During a long layover at Cairo airport, we decided to do some exploring. We felt completely comfortable leaving our luggage in the car, as we had total confidence in our guide, Ashraf. He was fantastic, showing us around and making us feel right at home. Ashraf's insights and knowledge were exceptional, and he made sure we had an amazing experience!
