Ovviamente quello che si vede già è emozionante ma avere la tranquillità dell autista la serietà della guida ti regala una bella giornata tranquilla. La mia guida è stata più che ottima, mi ha spiegato tanti dettagli che ha fatto emozionare sia me che mio figlio. Se potessi scegliere le prossime guide sceglierei lui 100 volte. Civitatis top Translate this opinion into English.

Obviously, what you see is already exciting, but having the peace of mind of the driver and the professionalism of the guide makes for a beautiful, peaceful day. My guide was beyond excellent; he explained so many details that moved both me and my son. If I could choose my next guides, I'd choose him 100 times over. Civitatis top Opinion translated.

Super bien! Nos buscaron por el hotel y nos regresaron al finalizar. El guía fue muy amable y sabía muchísimo. Recomiendo la experiencia, se recorren muchos lugares que están distantes unos de otro y sería imposible hacerlo de otra manera. El transporte era confortable y con aire acondicionado Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent! They picked us up from the hotel and brought us back at the end of the tour. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the experience; you visit many places that are far apart, and it would be impossible to do it any other way. The transportation was comfortable and air-conditioned.

Parabéns ao funcionário da Civitatis, Ahmed por ser tão cuidadoso e atencioso. A nossa guia era incrível! Falava um ótimo português e nos encantou com toda a história do Egito. Almoçamos em um lugar muito gostoso e especial, em frente as pirâmides. Translate this opinion into English.

Congratulations to Civitatis employee Ahmed for being so careful and attentive. Our guide was amazing! She spoke excellent Portuguese and captivated us with all the history of Egypt. We had lunch at a very nice and special place, right in front of the pyramids. Opinion translated. Show original.

Un tour praticamente fatto da privati perché eravamo solo noi con una guida Ibraim preparatissima, gentile e simpaticissima. La giornata è volata via e non si è sentita la fatica per il clima di amicizia che su è creato. Autista perfetto perché sempre puntuale e presente nelle varie tappe. Chiaramente i luoghi visitati sono stati incredibili!!!! Translate this opinion into English.

A tour practically done by private individuals because it was just us with a very well-prepared, kind, and super friendly guide, Ibraim. The day flew by and we didn't feel tired due to the atmosphere of friendship that was created. The driver was perfect, always punctual and present at the various stops. Clearly, the places visited were incredible!!!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Il percorso proposto prevede vari saliscendi tra mezzi diversi dentro la vasta area di Giza, e un viaggio non breve a Menfi e Saqqara, è bene saperlo. È andato tutto bene con una buona guida che ci ha illustrato le piramidi di Giza, la Sfinge, l'area di Menfi e di Saqqara. Abbiamo imparato tante cose e il pranzo nel locale scelto è stato buono e gustoso. Civitatis offre dei servizi eccellenti! Translate this opinion into English.

The proposed itinerary includes several ups and downs on different vehicles within the vast Giza area, and a rather lengthy trip to Memphis and Saqqara, which is good to know. Everything went well with a good guide who showed us the Giza pyramids, the Sphinx, the Memphis area, and Saqqara. We learned a lot, and lunch at the restaurant we chose was delicious. Civitatis offers excellent services! Opinion translated. Show original.

El cuanto a la gestión de tour lo que más me ha gustado es la coordinación, desde al día Anterior Mustafa se contactó conmigo para coordinar, el día del tour fueron muy puntales; me llegaron a recoger al hotel en la hora indicada. Luego de recoger todos los participantes nos dejó con el guía Kamal quien lideró el tour, se hicieron todas las actividades una vez finalizado, comimos y luego me regresaron al Hotel, todo es muy seguro y se preocupan en todo momento por el bienestar del turista.

Regarding the tour management, what I liked the most was the coordination. The day before, Mustafa contacted me to coordinate, and on the day of the tour, they were very punctual; they picked me up at the hotel at the scheduled time. After picking up all the participants, they left us with the guide Kamal, who led the tour. All the activities were completed, we had lunch, and then they returned me to the hotel. Everything is very safe, and they care about the well-being of the tourist at all times. Opinion translated. Show original.

La experiencia en las pirámides fue buena. Lo malo son las paradas impuestas. Perfumes, especias, papiros, prendas de algodón. Son turistas traps. El guía insistió en llevarnos a una tienda de algodón, con precios inflados y luego descuentos. Al final caímos, y compramos algo de calidad cuestionable a precio premium. Luego en Zamalek, te das cuenta que hay tiendas de algodón mejores con mejor precio. Civitatis, el turista evoluciona. Queremos experiencias. Estas paradas deberían ser opcionales.

The pyramid experience was good. The downside was the forced stops. Perfumes, spices, papyrus, cotton clothing. They're tourist traps. The guide insisted on taking us to a cotton shop with inflated prices followed by discounts. In the end, we caved and bought something of questionable quality at a premium price. Later, in Zamalek, you realize there are better cotton shops with better prices. Civitatis, tourists are evolving. We want experiences. These stops should be optional.

O passeio foi maravilhoso!!!! Quero agradecer em especial a Guia Azma por todo auxílio, assistência e ter feito um diferencial no dia. Nos levou a lugares incríveis e fez o passeio ser o melhor com suas explicações e toda atenção!!!! Pegamos tour de o dia inteiro o almoço incluso é bom mesmo e o transfer pro hotel tbm. Recomendo que peguem sim a entrada a parte pra dentro da pirâmide para ter uma experiência completa. E andar de camelo também. Muito obrigado a Guia Azma por tudo Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was wonderful!!!! I want to especially thank Guide Azma for all her help, assistance, and for making a difference on the day. She took us to incredible places and made the tour the best with her explanations and all her attention!!!! We took the all-day tour, the included lunch is really good and the transfer to the hotel as well. I recommend getting the separate entry to go inside the pyramid for a complete experience. And riding a camel too. Thank you very much to Guide Azma for everything Opinion translated. Show original.

E' stata una bellissima esperienza. La guida è stata eccellente, molto preparata ed appassionata e ci ha accompagnato nella visita con cortesia e gentilezza. Non posso mettere il voto massimo semplicemente perché, a causa di una forte piovuta nella notte si è intensificato il traffico, già molto caotico, per raggiungere le destinazioni ed abbiamo accumulato un pò di ritardo. Per questo non è stato possibile accedere all'area appena sotto la sfinge, che aveva chiuso pochi minuti prima.

It was a wonderful experience. The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and passionate, and accompanied us on our visit with courtesy and kindness. I can't give it a top rating simply because heavy rain overnight intensified the already chaotic traffic to reach our destinations, and we were a bit late. As a result, we weren't able to access the area just below the Sphinx, which had closed a few minutes earlier.

Pirámides de Giza y Menfis muy interesante, muy recomendable Saqqara horrible, al acceder al templo hay una plaga de moscas, por la que tienes que pasar obligatoriamente (no hay otro camino), y se te quedan en la ropa pegadas Restaurante para turistas, no fue del todo malo para donde suelen llevar otras excursiones Recomendaría tour al completo sin ninguna duda, a ver si pueden exterminar las moscas de Saqqara, es una pena, es un lugar también interesante (pirámide escalonada, tumbas, etc)

The pyramids of Giza and Memphis were very interesting and highly recommended. Saqqara was horrible; upon entering the temple, there was a plague of flies that you had no choice but to walk through (there was no other way), and they stuck to your clothes. The restaurant was geared towards tourists, but it wasn't too bad compared to what other tours usually take you to. I would definitely recommend the full tour. Hopefully, they can exterminate the flies in Saqqara; it's a shame, as it's also an interesting place (step pyramid, tombs, etc.).
