Review of a 5-day Egypt tour from Cairo with flights, Nile cruise, Abu Simbel, Luxor temples, Nubian Village, and hot-air balloon ride.

“A éviter, le voyagiste ne respecte pas le programme initial payé. Trajet interne en train (10h) au lieu de l'avion, annulation des visites prévues, guide en anglais au lieu du français qui était payé. information le soir à 20h pour le rdv du matin, donc un stress permanent sur le programme au lieu d'être prévenu à l'avance. il faut éviter de réserver des séjours sur le site, il vaut mieux des achat coup par coup à la journée. très mauvaise expérience”
