Great trip with Mohammad

The trip was very good overall and we had a nice time. Mohammad was a super guide and could speak German very well, which made communication effortless. He was friendly and helpful. 😊 Only point of criticism: There was a connection/charging port in the car that unfortunately did not work. Otherwise we were very satisfied with the trip and are happy to recommend Mohammad!

Wonderful experience

Beautiful experience and perfect organization. Trip in a comfortable VAN and, once in Cairo, Italian guide Mr. GAMAL, who was pleasant but above all extremely competent, a true art historian who, in addition to the history of the wonderful sites we visited, from the Pyramids to the new and large Egyptian museum, told us many anecdotes and curiosities. Furthermore, an excellent lunch in a restaurant in the city center and to conclude, an evocative boat excursion on the Nile. Finally, the staff who accompanied us in the VAN proved to be competent, professional, and very pleasant. In short, we could not have expected better to visit the wonders of Cairo. Choose FTS Travel and you will not be disappointed.
