Overall, the experience was a 5-star rating. The food we felt should have been a bit more local oriented. Meaning what the Egyptians eat day to day or from a street vendor. The coffee was far from what we expected for Egypt. Maybe we thought it would be more like Turkish coffee. Air France offered great service and food. We felt the layovers were long but not sure how that could be changed. Our tour guide in Egypt, Mahmoud M. Ahmed was fantastic and had a wealth of knowledge. Perhaps a bit too much. LOL! He took care of us and felt like we were part of his family. Kindly let me know I much we appreciated the trip with him. (Mark & Sandy Britt) Thank you.... Read More

Merci, pour nous c’était Important d’avoir un guide qui parlait français. Et nous avons eu le guide Mostafa qui nous a parlé en français pendant notre séjour, il est un très bon guide, nous l’avons bien aimé.

During our trip, we especially appreciated our guide, Moustafa ElSayed for his vast and detailed knowledge of Egyptian history and his patience and amiability in answering everyone's questions. Also, we would like to point that our reception at Cairo airport by the Wingbuddy representative was efficient and friendly. All the service staff on the cruise, train and at the hotels was very friendly.... Read More

Un voyage incroyable et très impressionné du déroulement du forfait. Pour commencer, j'ai énormément voyagé dans ma vie et toujours par moi-même. C'était la première fois que je faisais un voyage organisé et j'ai été agréablement surpris. Pour ceux qui ne sont pas habitué de voyager, ce forfait est parfait. Prise en charge à l'aéroport dès l'arrivé au Caire par un représentant de Wingbuddy, aux hôtel, pour le train, le bateau, bref, lorsqu'on vous dit qu'il va y avoir quelqu'un qui va vous attendre, il va y avoir quelqu'un. Nous avions demandé moi, ma conjointe et un couple d'ami, un guide français et nous en avons eu un à pour nous 4 tout le long du voyage. Il y avait un groupe anglophone d'environ 14 personnes. Ce que j'ai compris, il se peut que votre guide qui vous accueil au Caire soit le même tout le long du voyage. Dans notre cas, nous avons eu un guide au Caire et un autre à notre arrivé à Assouan à la sortie du train pour le reste du voyage. En parlant du train, rien de grandiose, mais ça fait partie du voyage et de l'expérience. Demander au guide avant de prendre le train de vous trouver de la bière pour apporter avec vous cela rend l'expérience un peu plus agréable. La croisière, juste wow. Bien installé, piscine sur le pont, un bar, nourriture (rien de grandiose), mais très bonne et les cabines avec vue sur le nil, très bien. Les sites archéologiques, à couper le souffle. L'Égypte est un pays avec le plus d'histoire au monde. Il y a des extras pour les visites et je le conseils. Abu Simbel est à environ 3h30 de route pour y aller et ça en vaut vraiment le détour. La ride de bus nous permet de dormir et reprendre des forces. Normalement, le départ est à 04h00 du matin pour se rendre au site et tout le monde part à cette heure, donc, énormément de monde sur le site (témoignage de deux français à qui j'ai croisé dans le voyage). Nous, notre guide Moustafa qui est un excellent guide francophone à qui recommande à tous, si vous pouvez choisir, à changé l'horaire et on est parti à 07h00 le matin et à notre arrivé à Abu Simbel, presque personne, c'était fantastique pour visiter et surtout pour prendre des photos sans avoir des centaines de personne dans le champs de vison. Malheureusement, pour les autres sites à visiter, il y a toujours du monde, mais en général ça va bien. Les guides vont vous proposer d'autres activités, à vous de décider, mais je recommande (exemple, tour de dromadaire pour visiter les pyramide à partir du désert - 15$ US, visite d'un village Nubien - le prix vari etc.). Dans la vallée des rois, il est possible de payer pour des extras aussi. Le forfait ne comprend pas de visite de la vallée des reines (à voir, le tombeau de la reine Nefertari, le plus beau tombeau découvert, mais il y a un extra à payer), mais si vous voulez y aller, c'est possible de l'intégrer dans l'horaire. Parler à votre guide de toutes les options que vous aimeriez faire, il va vous organisé ça. Il y a aussi un tour en montgolfière au pris de 125$ US très tôt le matin avant la visite de la vallée des rois et je le recommande beaucoup. Les pourboires, selon les infos de Wingbuddy, on le donne à notre arrivé. Si vous avez le même guide du début à la fin, oui, mais si comme nous qui avons eu un guide pour le Caire et un autre pour le reste du voyage, vous donner l'argent au deuxième guide. Cet argent n'est pas pour les guides c'est les pourboires des chauffeurs, employés du bateau etc.. Bref, prévoyez des pourboires et ne soyez pas cheap, pour le ou les guides qui se donne corps et âmes pour nous rendre le voyage agréable. Ceux qui désire rester une couple de jour de plus, car le 10 jours est très occupé, c'est possible de le faire, parler avec l'agence avant de booker. Sécurité, très sécuritaire et je sais de quoi je parle, car j'ai été dans des pays pas mal plus à risque que l'Égypte. Alcool, c'est un pays musulman, donc pas beaucoup de point de vente, mais possible d'en trouver. Demander à votre guide. Aux hôtels et bateau, pas de problème , mais limité dans les choix. Le vin, eurk, apportez vous une couple de bonne bouteille si vous appréciez le bon vin. L'argent, le US ou Euros sont acceptés partout. Pour la conversion, on divise environ par 30. Exemple: 300 livre égyptienne = 10 US ou Euros. Bravo à Wingbuddy pour ce forfait qui est très bien organisé et surtout aux représentants en Égypte qui sont tous dévoués pour nous assister dans notre voyage. Bon voyage. ... Read More

Faze met us in the airport on night one. He quickly helped us with obtaining our visa and escorted us to our hotel in record time! Thank you!! Fady was incredibly reliable in helping us navigate the airport in Cairo. His professionalism, organization and charisma was top notch. Said was an incredible guide. From Cairo-Aswan-Luxor! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history and made our group feel like one big family. Said and Fady helped me organize the extra days that I added on to my trip. It was wonderful to never feel like I was completely alone in planning/booking my extra days. Getting their insights and advice was very helpful! I had a wonderful time in Egypt thanks to my guide Said and Fady.... Read More

Elia was our well informed guide and was excellent. He was very attentive, patient with and helpful to tour members who had physical challenges. He allowed for input from tour members and was invaluable in providing guidance to local customs and expectations. He gave advice on purchases ranging from just local inexpensive artifacts to authentic ones from very reputable places. Our group was referred to as "Family". Fahad was also very helpful in meeting our group, guiding us through entry processes and getting us settled into our accommodations. Each member of the Wingbuddy team who interacted with us was friendly, helpful and respectful. If I could recommend a promotion and or raise for these valued employees, I highly suggest that it be considered, especially so for Elia. Cynthia Smith and Carlos Nieves... Read More

The trip was great, the temples, piramids and ancient sites was wonderful too see, the boat trip was amazing, our group was small (15 people,) witch was great, we all became like a cosy family,… siad, out guide was very helpful and very friendly, he went over and above to meet the needs of the group,… going to the pharmacy for some of us, making sure we had what we needed,…. At one point when we were in Aswan, on the boat, my wife and I wanted to go to the market place at night but nobody else in the group wanted to go,.. but siad, called a cab and took us anyway, he went around the market place and we had a great experience, I was surprised and flattered that he would go out of his way for only 2 of us,…. We enjoyed the experience so much we have already recommended wing buddy to a bunch of our friends and are planning out next trip ... Read More

J'ai adoré ce voyage! Nous étions 5 dans le groupe. Très agréable. Je recommanderais ce voyage, surtout pour l'égypte. Une seule chose: Les pyramides et le musé. On gagnerait à faire les deux mais en 2 jrs. En une seule journée c trop court et dense. Je crois qu'il faudrait rajouter une journée au voyage et ce serait parfait. En 11 jrs plutôt que 10. Sinon, guide, chambre et visite: très agréable! Merci pour tout. Jakou.... Read More

Overall, the experience was a 5-star rating. The food we felt should have been a bit more local oriented. Meaning what the Egyptians eat day to day or from a street vendor. The coffee was far from what we expected for Egypt. Maybe we thought it would be more like Turkish coffee. Air France offered great service and food. We felt the layovers were long but not sure how that could be changed. Our tour guide in Egypt, Mahmoud M. Ahmed was fantastic and had a wealth of knowledge. Perhaps a bit too much. LOL! He took care of us and felt like we were part of his family. Kindly let me know I much we appreciated the trip with him. (Mark & Sandy Britt) Thank you.... Read More

Un voyage incroyable et très impressionné du déroulement du forfait. Pour commencer, j'ai énormément voyagé dans ma vie et toujours par moi-même. C'était la première fois que je faisais un voyage organisé et j'ai été agréablement surpris. Pour ceux qui ne sont pas habitué de voyager, ce forfait est parfait. Prise en charge à l'aéroport dès l'arrivé au Caire par un représentant de Wingbuddy, aux hôtel, pour le train, le bateau, bref, lorsqu'on vous dit qu'il va y avoir quelqu'un qui va vous attendre, il va y avoir quelqu'un. Nous avions demandé moi, ma conjointe et un couple d'ami, un guide français et nous en avons eu un à pour nous 4 tout le long du voyage. Il y avait un groupe anglophone d'environ 14 personnes. Ce que j'ai compris, il se peut que votre guide qui vous accueil au Caire soit le même tout le long du voyage. Dans notre cas, nous avons eu un guide au Caire et un autre à notre arrivé à Assouan à la sortie du train pour le reste du voyage. En parlant du train, rien de grandiose, mais ça fait partie du voyage et de l'expérience. Demander au guide avant de prendre le train de vous trouver de la bière pour apporter avec vous cela rend l'expérience un peu plus agréable. La croisière, juste wow. Bien installé, piscine sur le pont, un bar, nourriture (rien de grandiose), mais très bonne et les cabines avec vue sur le nil, très bien. Les sites archéologiques, à couper le souffle. L'Égypte est un pays avec le plus d'histoire au monde. Il y a des extras pour les visites et je le conseils. Abu Simbel est à environ 3h30 de route pour y aller et ça en vaut vraiment le détour. La ride de bus nous permet de dormir et reprendre des forces. Normalement, le départ est à 04h00 du matin pour se rendre au site et tout le monde part à cette heure, donc, énormément de monde sur le site (témoignage de deux français à qui j'ai croisé dans le voyage). Nous, notre guide Moustafa qui est un excellent guide francophone à qui recommande à tous, si vous pouvez choisir, à changé l'horaire et on est parti à 07h00 le matin et à notre arrivé à Abu Simbel, presque personne, c'était fantastique pour visiter et surtout pour prendre des photos sans avoir des centaines de personne dans le champs de vison. Malheureusement, pour les autres sites à visiter, il y a toujours du monde, mais en général ça va bien. Les guides vont vous proposer d'autres activités, à vous de décider, mais je recommande (exemple, tour de dromadaire pour visiter les pyramide à partir du désert - 15$ US, visite d'un village Nubien - le prix vari etc.). Dans la vallée des rois, il est possible de payer pour des extras aussi. Le forfait ne comprend pas de visite de la vallée des reines (à voir, le tombeau de la reine Nefertari, le plus beau tombeau découvert, mais il y a un extra à payer), mais si vous voulez y aller, c'est possible de l'intégrer dans l'horaire. Parler à votre guide de toutes les options que vous aimeriez faire, il va vous organisé ça. Il y a aussi un tour en montgolfière au pris de 125$ US très tôt le matin avant la visite de la vallée des rois et je le recommande beaucoup. Les pourboires, selon les infos de Wingbuddy, on le donne à notre arrivé. Si vous avez le même guide du début à la fin, oui, mais si comme nous qui avons eu un guide pour le Caire et un autre pour le reste du voyage, vous donner l'argent au deuxième guide. Cet argent n'est pas pour les guides c'est les pourboires des chauffeurs, employés du bateau etc.. Bref, prévoyez des pourboires et ne soyez pas cheap, pour le ou les guides qui se donne corps et âmes pour nous rendre le voyage agréable. Ceux qui désire rester une couple de jour de plus, car le 10 jours est très occupé, c'est possible de le faire, parler avec l'agence avant de booker. Sécurité, très sécuritaire et je sais de quoi je parle, car j'ai été dans des pays pas mal plus à risque que l'Égypte. Alcool, c'est un pays musulman, donc pas beaucoup de point de vente, mais possible d'en trouver. Demander à votre guide. Aux hôtels et bateau, pas de problème , mais limité dans les choix. Le vin, eurk, apportez vous une couple de bonne bouteille si vous appréciez le bon vin. L'argent, le US ou Euros sont acceptés partout. Pour la conversion, on divise environ par 30. Exemple: 300 livre égyptienne = 10 US ou Euros. Bravo à Wingbuddy pour ce forfait qui est très bien organisé et surtout aux représentants en Égypte qui sont tous dévoués pour nous assister dans notre voyage. Bon voyage. ... Read More

Fady was incredibly reliable in helping us navigate the airport in Cairo. His professionalism, organization and charisma was top notch. Said was an incredible guide. From Cairo-Aswan-Luxor! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history and made our group feel like one big family. Said and Fady helped me organize the extra days that I added on to my trip. It was wonderful to never feel like I was completely alone in planning/booking my extra days. Getting their insights and advice was very helpful!

Elia was our well informed guide and was excellent. He was very attentive, patient with and helpful to tour members who had physical challenges. He allowed for input from tour members and was invaluable in providing guidance to local customs and expectations. He gave advice on purchases ranging from just local inexpensive artifacts to authentic ones from very reputable places. Our group was referred to as "Family". Fahad was also very helpful in meeting our group, guiding us through entry processes and getting us settled into our accommodations. Each member of the Wingbuddy team who interacted with us was friendly, helpful and respectful. If I could recommend a promotion and or raise for these valued employees, I highly suggest that it be considered, especially so for Elia. Cynthia Smith and Carlos Nieves... Read More
