Alexandrië
Egypte aan de Middellandse Zee

Experience in Egypt
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience with Yahia! We had an amazing time in Egypt! We visited the Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, rode camels and enjoyed an incredible quad bike adventure in the desert! Our guide, Yahia, was absolutely wonderful! Such a kind, friendly and helpful person who made our experience even more special. He took great care of us and made sure we had the best time. Highly recommended! Thank you, for everything!

Yahya is an amazing guy who loves what he does. He planned some fantastic days for our group, tailored to our preferences. He had amazing partners and drivers who picked us up no matter the place or time. Also he was there for us when we needed his help. If I had to plan my trip again I would definitely choose him.

Once again a super well planned trip and a guide who is funny and very well into the things we see and experience. This was my second time in Cairo and the dessert with Yaya as my guide. He arranged everything and we had a very packed three days full of interesting sights and experiences. We wanted to add a stop not originally planned and he managed that also. My best recommendations hereby sent.

Yahya is not just a tour guide. He is so much more than that! I have traveled to many places around the world, but my experience in Egypt was truly unforgettable, and one of the biggest reasons for that was Yahya. From the very first moment, he made us feel welcome, comfortable, and part of his family. Every single experience was incredible! From the amazing activities and breathtaking places we visited to the delicious local food and hidden gems he introduced us to, everything was simply perfect. He didn’t just show us Egypt. He made us experience the real Egypt, its culture, its people, its beauty, and its magic. But what makes Yahya truly special is not only how amazing he is at his job. It’s his personality, his kindness, his positive energy, and, above all, his enormous heart. He is one of those rare people you meet while traveling who end up becoming a part of your life forever. Without a doubt, he is the BEST TOUR GUIDE IN THE WORLD! I would return to Egypt a thousand times, and I know I will be back! Not only because Egypt is such an incredible country, but also because I now have someone there who feels like family. And here’s something special: His name is Yahya, but I always called him Yannis, the Greek name I gave him. I met him as Yahya, I called him Yannis, but in the end, I found a brother in Egypt. ❤️ Some trips give you beautiful memories. Others give you friendships that last a lifetime. I was lucky enough to experience both. Thank you for everything, my brother! Until we meet again! 🇪🇬❤️

We always dreamed of being in Egypt... This dream of Yahya and his colleagues made a reality. The days we were there, we met outstanding and kind people, excellent guides, and historically informed people who helped us understand Egyptian culture and have fun. This trip will remain unforgettable for us We certainly recommend it.
Lees alles op TripadvisorA dreamlike experience 🤩
It was an incredibly enjoyable and fun vacation, filled with fulfilling moments. I highly recommend it to those who want a genuine experience, unlike classic tours. You'll feel like you're visiting a local friend rather than a guide. It was wonderful how every detail was thoughtfully considered for you. Yahya's knowledge, experience, cheerfulness, and fun-loving nature made him stand out from the very first moment. Thank you so much for everything, I can't wait to go again! 🤩☺️
Lees alles op TripadvisorThe best trip of my life
There are trips that come and go, that fade in memory over time, and others that, even when they end, you carry inside you forever. Egypt had been for a long time, a destination I really wanted to visit and the expectations were high, I won't hide it. But sometimes the beauty of a place is not only hidden in what you see, but also in the way someone helps you discover it. And when you have a person next to you who is passionate about what they do, knows the history of the place, and manages to convey a piece of that love to you, then the trip becomes something much more than a simple experience. From the moment we set foot in Egypt, we were caught up in its rhythms. We walked the streets of it, smelled its scents, felt its pulse and intensity. Somewhere among all of this, we forgot that we were guests. We weren't satisfied to see it through the eyes of a tourist, we lived it and for a week we became a small part of it. I don't want to sound exaggerated, but the week we spent in Egypt was one of the best weeks - not to say the best - of my life. Amidst all this, without realizing it, completely naturally, people who were initially just companions became our people. And maybe that is the most beautiful part of a trip: the people you meet by chance and end up having a special place in your life and in your mind. Some trips end, but those that leave you remain inside you forever. For the moments, the laughs, the jokes, the kilometers, the tears... forever grateful.

Lees alles op TripadvisorUnforgettable experience!!
I'm going to be honest with my review. I had my hesitations with booking a guide for my trip, as I was thinking that it was going to be awkward and typical, as the relationship with any regular guide. But Yahya proved me wrong. He is the most significant reason why I had such an enjoyable holiday, not only because the program he made was good, but most importantly because his personality was his greatest quality. He arranged for us such unique activities, that made us all desire more, and be even more excited for the next day that came. But apart from the unforgettable things we did, the car rides and chilling times were just as amazing. I could talk all day about this trip, but unless you book with him, you won' t be able to comprehend the experience. So, with all my heart, I encourage everyone to book with Yahya, if they want to love their trip as much as we did, and miss it the moment they return home! 🥰😍🥺🐪⛺️🇪🇬🕊🐿
