Dear Friends,
We simply want to thank you for all your contributions to our holiday in Egypt.
The only regret we have is that, it all went so fast.
There is a saying in English: Time flies when you are having fun.
It is so true. We enjoyed the holiday and also enjoyed your company.
Thank you.

Hallo Ola
I would like to report back on our tour with Wedjat and I would appreciate it if you could show my e-mail to mr Eyman.
We are overall very satisfied with Wedjat as touring agency. You did your best to accommodate every request and even every change in plan we had. I will soon be writing a report on the internet to recommend your agency.
We would just like to mention to you a few problems we encountered and we are sure once you are aware of them, you would do something to rectify this and future clients would benefit from it.
As we mentioned, all the hotels we stayed in were good (not excellent) but good enough. Our cruiseship was excellent - thank you for the upgrade, mr Eyman!
Our guide/egyptologist, Hares, gets the top score! He was excellent with the history of Egypt and also made our trip very enjoyable with his great sense of humour. He went out of his way to help us with everything and even bargained on our behalf - something we appreciated very much, since we did not know the cost of anything. God bless and a lot of happiness on your wedding in July, Hares! Thank you also to Ola who was very patient with my loads of questions! I also want to mention that the vehicles used on our tour was excellent- new and clean with very good drivers.
The few problems I want to mention:
1. We would have liked to see and do 'n bit more - the tour was sometimes very very slow to our liking. (as already mentioned at your office). The three hour wait at the station (Cairo to Aswan) was really a bit of time wasted. If we knew beforehand we would be that amount of time at the station we would have preferred to stay at the Egyptian Museum a bit longer. Don't understand me wrong - Hares did not hurry us at all at the Museum, but we were not aware that we would go to the station immediately after the visit to the museum.
2. The next very tiring and wasted day was the day in Luxor. We spent the morning on the cruiseship, because we knew it was only the two temples we would be visiting that day. We finished this visit in two hours and then we went to the airport.
We were already at the airport at 15:30. To our shock the security at the airport did not want to allow us to enter the airport until two hours before our flight leaves. So we had to sit outside at the cafeteria (that did not even have a toilet) until past 20:00, before we could enter the airport. Once inside it was still more than three hours before our flight left! Almost eight hours wasted.
To be fair to Hares, he offered, before we left for the airport, to take us to a hotel to wait until it was time to go to the airport, but the wait at the hotel would not have been any different for us from waiting at the airport and would also have cost us a lot of money. Wait is wait. To us this was really a day wasted and much more tiring than staying busy all day and almost all night! Remember, to us this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do and see as much as possible of Egypt and wasted time is also wasted money and opportunity to us. For instance we would have loved to see more of Sharm el Sheikh and even half a day more in Sharm would be of much more benefit than sitting at the airport. Maybe in future you would work out a touring program that does not involve such waiting hours, even if you have to change the order of the places to visit? We did not have a particular order in which we wanted to see the places, as long as everything we wanted to see was still included in the tour.
Thank you for a very interesting tour of Egypt and especially the cruise was 'n lovely experience. Sharm el Sheikh was absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling there spectacular! I will surely recommend your agency to all my friends.
Regards

I did not wait to get to Argentina to write because I want to thank you and Wedjat Tours for the wonderful holiday we spent in Egypt. The tour that Wedjat has prepared for my husband and I far exceeded our expectations, as the places we visited as well as the hotels and the cruises were amazing. I wish to highlight the behavior of the people who attended us, beginning with our guide, the incomparable Mohamed, who was at our disposal at all times and taught us everything we wanted to know about Egypt and its culture, we also wish to thank a lot to Ibrahim, your representative who accompanied us until we take the plane back to Paris, also the drivers were very kind to us. My only regret was not being able to meet you personally, but as I said to Mohammed, I hope this is not our last trip to your land, and therefore I will meet you at another time. I leave my e-mail to anyone who would wish to have references about Wedjat Tours.
Thank

Hello, Hamdan, Ayman and your team!!!
Our BIG THANKS for your excellent service to us during our 5 days travel tour to your wonderful historical places in Egypt, with the excellent service of your crew: Sarah, Ebrahim, Tariq, Hares, Mohammed.
To complete our heartfelt and sincere appreciation for making our tour joyful,safe and succesful, here are some of the pictures we have taken during our tour.
Our Tour Guide made our trip great and we would recommend him to anyone , We would also request him on future visits , From the time we arrived to the time we left we had someone with our family , so we always felt safe and we know what we were doing .
Our children also really liked our Guide , when our young daughter got tired from the heat our guide would sit with her during our free roaming time , Again we felt perfectly safe leaving her with him .
Wedjat Tours did everything they said they were going to do and more .
I would recommend Wedjat Tours to all my family and friends , Guide also was very knowledge and was not rushed to get through things he gave us all the time we wanted at each place.
Our Favorite part was the Nile Cruise and the stops along the way.
Thank you Wedjat Tours .
Shahid , Kristina , Kayden , Kallen and Kira Adenwala.
My family and have lived abroad for 7 years and have traveled extensively. We all agreed that our tour to Egypt was one of our best trips ever! The success of the trip was due to the Wedjat tour group and staff. We usually travel on our own without guides but this was a pleasant change. We were so impressed with all of the staff from the airport representative that was SO helpful and smiling no matter what time of day or night we arrived. Doaa arranged our tour and answered all of my million questions in a timely and effective manner. Our tour guide Haisam was so helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. My teenage boys really liked him (as did my husband and myself). He was so helpful and flexible even when our luggage was lost and our son got sick, Haisam helped us solve the problems and was very positive and flexible with our schedule. While in Cairo we got to meet the staff at Wedjat and talk with the owner. That was a really nice touch to hear his philosophy and passion for his company and made us feel valued as a customer. Of course the sights were amazing and a lifetime dream fulfilled. We were pleased with all of our hotels in Cairo, Luxor (loved the St George) and at Sharm el Sheik. We really appreciated the pace of the tour (not too jam packed or stressed) with time to relax and add/delete things at request. We learned a lot on our tour to Egypt and will remember it forever. We also enjoyed the time at Sharm el Sheik after touring Cairo and Luxor, it was a very nice way to wind down the tour with some relaxation and beach time. I highly recommend Wedjat tours for anyone that wants personallized service (so much better than a huge group tour).
Concerning 10 days travel with your organization in Egypt. (April 2010)
Thanks a lot for a great organization! Everything which was promised by Ms. Magy is fore filled.
All transportations and arrangements where done very well. Also we have to thank Mr. Farouk a great experienced Historicist who is also a good distinguished tour guide.
Arranging a holiday is only for those who are trustful, and understand the importance of it.
We returned a few days ago from a wonderful 5 day tour of Egypt, including visits to Cairo, Aswan and Luxor. We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all of the arranging and hard work put in by your staff, as it was everything we hoped for.
All of the accommodations were very nice and we felt as though everything was taken care of for us, allowing us to relax and enjoy the marvelous sights and surroundings. Our guide, Sherif, was also fantastic- he was incredibly knowledgeable about every site we visited and didn't mind patiently answering all of the questions an amateur Egyptologist could come up with about the history and mythology surrounding everything. He was great fun to spend time with and we appreciated having his company throughout our trip.
We can strongly suggest Wedjat to anyone planning a trip to Egypt. Everything happened exactly as we were told, there were no surprises and we felt very well taken care of. This was one of our favorite trips ever.
We had a really great day with a helpful, informative and kind guide. Our Children Loved him!!
Our driver was friendly and highly skilled, we would recommend your tours to everyone and we’ll be back again ourselves sometime Soon for a much longer stay.
We have arrived back home in Canada and are so grateful for such a WONDERFUL TIME we had in Egypt!!
Everything was just perfect. Thanks so much and we hope to come to visit your wonderful country again one day!! ( and hope to Ahmed as our tour guide again!!).
We would love to be travel representatives . Anyone can contact us for a reference. Thanks again!
We had a very wonderful time on our ancient Egyptian history tour.
We heard of your service through trip advisor on the internet, your staff was very friendly and accommodative during our interactions with them.
Huda did a very excellent job in staying in contact with us via e-mail during the building of our itinerary, she was persistent in pursuing our business.
Upon arrival we were greeted with the friendly smile of Mohammed, he has an excellent personality for the tourism business, will do will to stay in it.
Hares has been an excellent tour guide and has proven his worthiness by expressing his knowledge of his country’s history, I personality have enjoyed his company on the tour and believe he will be extremely success in the future.
Wedjat Tours appears to be well organized and excellent on their promises of service.
Hamdan you are blessed with a wonderful young staff and the Canadians have enjoyed their experience with you and your beautiful country.
First of all, we would like to thank you for a wonderful experience, at first we did not know what to expect and to begin with, we were dispersed with the picture of Assem that was provided, as we thought, he was close to 60 years old. However, when we meet him on Monday Morning, we were surprised to meet the grandson instead. He was extremely knowledgeable & funny. Funny being the most important as he made Egyptian History very interesting.
I would most certainly recommend him as an Egyptologist to friends & Family.
The Hotel in Cairo, was a nice city hotel with good breakfast buffet, the pyramisa was next best & last was Lotus. The view at lotus was very great, but the rooms require more work. The pyramisa was nice as well and Assem was very thoughtful in arranging breakfast for our trip to Abu Simbel, which wan unexpected and pleasant.
Our transportation was very smooth & all was very well managed. However, we were taken by surprised by the tipping culture, as the drivers changed frequently. We strongly recommend, including tips into the tours or mentioning the tipping culture before land.
The restaurants were satisfactory, but the best food was at Tutankhamun restaurant on the west bank in Luxor. We would recommend restaurants as this, which has a great atmosphere and excellent local food.
All in all, it was a very memorable trip and was made extremely fun by our Egyptologist Assem.
Greeting from Sri Lanka. The group arrived in Sri Lanka safe and sound, around 4.30 am Sri Lanka time. It was a great Tour and we brought back unforgettable memories of your country, it's history, people and also You, Saad and Ali and Isham. All of you were wonderful and very cooperative and helpful.
Special thanks to your Head of Wedjat Tours, for arranging everything without any problems, and also for constantly checking whether everything was going well, while on the tour. This is a rear thing we find sometimes even in our own country.
I was unable to get a photo of the group with you as my memory card was full. I would like to have one from you if you could.
Once again thank you very much for your company. You have the talent to grow in your career faster than usual. I wish you all the luck in your future endeavors.
We have selected your tour company after a careful internet search: Wedjat Tours appeared to us a professional one. In general in most of our discussions in preparation of our tour organisation we did not encounter any serious problem. One exception was the tour duration, initially agreed to be a 8 days tour and later settled for a 7 days, but without a corresponding cost reduction. Certainly we have found your services very satisfactory, especially your very prompt responses to all our questions via email. Some negative points were related to the standard of the room on the Novotel in Cairo, which was supposed to be a 4 stars hotel but in our opinion rated no more than 3 stars. Also the long stop in Aswan, where the cruiser departed 24 hours later than expected, was not appreciated although it gave us time to see the local market
In conclusion, we found your team and especially our guide Sherif competent and kind and therefore your company deserves our appreciation.
We would also like to make the following suggestion. Since many tourists are interested in visiting Egypt not only for its fantastic archaeological treasures, it could be an added value for the company to provide the visitors with basic facts about the social, economic and political aspects of your country in today’s contest.
Hoping that this short summary of our impressions of this tour can be useful to you, we send you and your company our best regards

DearMr. Angelo ,
Have a lovely day from Egypt and Wedjat tours,
Thanks for your response but just to Clarify everything from the beginning , Your request on 13th January when you mentioned in your comments that we are interest in visiting major archeoligal sites in about 6 -7 days tour.and we already arranged for you 7 Days Tour which was included Giza Pyramids with 3 Nights Aswan/Luxor Nile Cruise then on 17th January I received your reply from as follow We areconsidering to book the Classic Egypt Tour nr. 3 with one extra day. So there was one Extra Day Tour which we included ( Alexandria Day Tour ) with the price quoted $ 1310 USD per person for 8 Days / 7 Nights (Giza Day Tour – 3 Nights Aswan/Luxor Nile Cruise – Alexandria Day Tour ) , Then as you mentioned after that you want to add an extra day as free at leisure and you have requested to revise the Price so Mr.Ayman our General Manager agreed to make this day as complimentary with $ 1310 USD NO extra charge on your original price.
At the end your final dates was changed to be from 4th March TO 11th March for 8 Days / 7 Nights you asked us again for revising our price after deduct the extra day which was as complimentary from our Wedjat Tours Company , despite that we deducted this day and your we have offered you our final price was 1275 USD per person.
Regarding to your tour it was your decision that you wanted to cancel Alexandria day tour and we have we already prepared your Van & Your Guide for the travel to Alexandria with you and paid them already based on that and we served you City Tour Day with Lunch instead, so your tour was done as we agreed.
Regarding to Novotel Hotel and for your information we have chose this hotel inside Cairo Airport because your domestic flight to Aswan was early morning and that was good for you not to wake very early and drive for one hour to get to Cairo Airport and this was a surprise we already inform you before your arrival to Egypt and you accepted your first stay will be at Novotel Hotel then your second stay will be in Sofitel Sphinx Hotel.....
Kindly we are clarifying this to you Angelo because we are very keen to have always a good relationship with our dear clients not and also for you not to misunderstand any points as you came to our office and you have met all our team work and this for sure show you how honest we are and how we are always giving our clients the best.
As I said, after all, your company deserves our appreciation, since we were in general satisfied with the actual tour. The few remarks I made may be partially due to some misunderstanding from both sides.
Best regards to all of you
