Excellent organization. Guides available and prepared. Excellent transfer and kind drivers I recommend this agency
I planned a smaller trip to Egypt for my father as a surprise birthday present. MoMo with Travelish was one of the day tours I had booked, and reached out to me to see if I had any special requests he could make happen. After talking some to him, he was very polite and helpful, and I decided to cancel the rest of my plans and book just through Travelish along with expanding our trip. Travelish arranged pickup and drop off to the airport, along with all the tours. Due to last minute flight changes, we ended up having an extra day. Instead of wasting the extra day, MoMo made additional plans for a day trip to Alexandria from Cairo with less than 4 days notice. He also helped me to surprise my father with a hot air balloon ride over Luxor! Very polite and helpful, and fantastic guides as well. We had Doma in Cairo for the pyramids, Seqqara, the museums, the Citadel, and Coptic Cairo tours, and Essam in Luxor for the temples and Valley of the Kings. Both of these guides were super friendly, very knowledgeable, and easy to work with! Hope to come back soon, and definitely will use Travelish again!
We spent three days in Cairo and it was the most amazing experience. Our tour guide was Mohammed Doma and he was so patient and so kind with us during the entire trip, we have no words to thank him enough. He is very smart, answered all of our questions about the culture, the country, the religion. I hope all people can have your guides like him, it makes all the different in the trip. Our time in Cairo was definitely enlightening. When we can back, we will definitely want to stay with him again! The travelish agency made all our desires come true even when I thought it was impossible, they helped us through the the entire trip and wanted to made sure everything was perfect for us. I’m really impressed by everything
We had a great 2 day tour of Cairo with Travelish Tours and our guide Manar. We went to Egyptian Museum and Pyramids of Giza on day 1, and did a falucca boat trip on Nile + Coptic Cairo + Islamic Cairo overview on day 2. Manar was knowledgeable, told us a lot about Egyptian history and took nice pictures!
Our guide Manar was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating; it is clear she is very passionate about history and Coptic art. Our driver Hassan also did a great job. Will definitely use Travelish again on our next trip to Egypt. :)
Travelish Tours where do I begin! I was a lot to handle during planning trust me. I wanted everything perfect . This company made sure everything worked out and was perfect! So organized and so much fun. Everything was on time and very well put together. Cairo: we had tour guide : Manar Driver : Diraz! What’s a perfect team. Manar was the sweetest person ever and full of life. Well taken care of made my spouse birthday one to remember. Felt like family. She explained everything you needed to know and only what was necessary. Also Manar is such an amazing photographer!!! Our airport transfer was one time and comfortable. Even when our flight was delayed they waited for us with a sign and a car. What more could you ask for. We didn’t waste any time we jumped in and got our day started. We went to luxor : Luxor has so much history and easily a lot that can be missed but not with our guide. He hit all points and then some very knowledgable. Our highlight was the hot air ballon ride what a awesome experience. Our transfer to hurghada was organized well also everything was organized well. No worries for us at all. They make you feel like family. What more can you ask for . You won’t go wrong putting your vacation in their hands. Don’t hesitate and book Travelish. There’s so many tour company’s this one was private and more cozy then the usual bus tours it was at your speed no rush! I felt so safe with Travelish !
