Una experiencia que hay que vivirla. mushungutsVerified One week in Egypt with Nile cruise We were in Egypt for a week and All Royal took care of us the whole time. Someone was always there waiting to guide us, we were never left alone to wonder where to go or what to do next. Mohammed was the travel agent who arranged everything and the whole trip went smoothly. He was very responsive when we had questions even before we arrived. Nile cruise is not to be missed; easy way to see a lot of ancient temples. We were on the Radamis I, the ship was great but the food was just ok. Bring lots of small bills, tips are expected absolutely everywhere! Overall our guides were knowledgeable and friendly, thank you Abdo who guided us in Cairo and Waleed in Luxor, you guys were awesome. Highly recommend this tour if you want a stress free way of seeing Egypt! saulramosgymVerified Nuestra experiencia fue algo muy romántico la pasamos súper bien visitamos los áreas turísticos de alto interés La compañia es excelente desde que llegamos al aeropuerto el primer dia todo fue perfecto.

Tengo que decir que para mí Egipto era un destino soñado. Y con ART se convirtió en realidad. Desde que llegamos ,bajando del avión, nos recibieron y guiaron en todo momento. Tienen todo programado y la asistencia es en todo momento. Los guías son super preocupados de que uno se sienta acompañado y tiene mucha experiencia en historia de Egipto y sus maravillas. Todos los hoteles que seleccionamos de excelente servicio. En cada lugar que visitamos ya tenían los ticket comprados, por lo que no había que hacer fila. El programas también son flexibles en ciertos días por qué se pueden conocer lugares que no estaban el plan. Los recomiendo a ojos cerrados y agradezco toda su atenciónTripadvisor rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 14 reviews
