The tour operator was non responsive. I had to get us off the boat and onto another one by myself. We missed a day of sailing and one if the temples we were supposed tonsee. Viator was nowhere to help.”

“Pour ce qui est de la Prise en charge et du retour à l’hôtel tout s’est bien passé. La felouque est en fait un bateau à moteur. La Balade sur le Nil était Courte mais sympa. Le hic vient après puisque pas de repas sur le bateau, ni au restaurant comme annoncé. En fait le guide s’est arrêté en route prendre deux repas à emporter que nous avons mangés froids dans notre chambre. Ne prenez surtout pas le repas.”
