An Amazing Rhine River cruise on Scenic This was an amazing experience. It was our first river cruise and Scenic really hit it out of the park! The boat was beautiful, crew did everything to make our experience memorable, dining was Michelin-star quality and service. Excursions each day were very interesting and well organized. We visited two of the great European cathedrals in Strasbourg and Cologne, spent a morning basking in a spa at Baden Baden, and toured a 9th generation winery along the Moselle river. A highlight was a series of four talks by historian and author Robert Watson. He was very interesting and engaging. If we take another river cruise, it will definitely be on Scenic, and we would highly recommend this line and this cruise.

Arqueología, historia del islam, el Desierto Blanco. Viajesazo Contraté un viaje con esta agencia. Mi asesor Ahmed Khaled estuvo increíblmente atento antes, durante y después del viaje, se adaptó a todas las necesidades y especificaciones que pedimos, así como se ajustó al presupuesto que teníamos. Todos los días nos escribió para preguntarnos si estábamos contentos con el servicio y nos daba explicaciones de qué continuaría. Los guías me parecieron excelnte, especialmente uno llamado Hazem, buenísimo para la parte de Luxor a Aswan. Recomiendo especialmente el viaje al desierto blanco y negro, una experiencia totalmente de Egitpo, dunas, vimos camellos libres, el campamento Sharazada fue impresionante, la comida. Recomiendo el conductor Essam Salah que domina el manejo en dunas y se trepa a todos lados por unas rutas impresionantes.

Cairo in 2 days - experience for a lifetime We booked a 2 days private trip to see the highlights of Cairo, and we could see all the important sites without hurry. Mahmoud, our guide was telling all the historical details, he is very professional in egyptian history and he was very kind and friendly. Big plus that he also offered us a drink one day, and a tea on the other. The only negative experience was that we were forced to visit some shops to buy things (papyrus, parfume, souvenir), and we felt like that we have to buy something in order not to be considered rude. I would suggest to focus on the historical parts and dont involve clients in such awkward situations. Apart from this the 2 days were 10/10.
