Initial miscommunication but overall a great experience. - I will give 5 stars but only because our driver Hossam was very kind, same with our tour guide Gabriel and the rest of the team. Otherwise it wasn't perfect. Our pick up was supposed to be 5 in the morning, but we couldn't find the driver outside, and we ended up waiting for almost 1 hour while all dressed up. We didn't know if it was cancelled or if someone was going to pick us up. I expected to get a message from the tour operator or from the driver, saying that, "hey, this will be the car color, etc, we will be outside waiting for you, but none of these, we have to wonder ourselves and figure it out. Later on the tour operator messaged that the driver was actually outside waiting for almost 1 hour, just the same as us. So It's a miscommunication. We also missed some stops because our driver had to rush to catch the Safari since we were already late. How to prevent this kind of inconvenience in the future? -To the tour company or operator, you should give the driver the customer's number so that he could contact them since he has the car, or give the customer the driver's number so that it's easier to find each other. It's not our driver's fault. (He waited just like us) The company should have given our number to the driver, or vice versa. Otherwise it was a nice experience, it's slower sometimes, lots of confusion with people involved but everything went well in the end, thank you to our driver Hossam and to our tour guide Gabriel who made the experience great, without them it wouldn't be a 5 star review.

I had an unforgettable experience - Huseyin made my trip to Siwa absolutely unforgettable. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history, including the Salt Lake, Cleopatra’s Spring, the Oracle Temple where Alexander the Great was named King in 331 BC, and Dakrour Mountain. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated how comfortable and safe he made me feel—we connected instantly, and it felt like traveling with a friend. He’s also an amazing photographer and captured every special moment for me. Hands down, the best tour guide I’ve ever had!

Siwa Oasis Tour - This trip was absolutely amazing! The dune bashing and sandboarding was so much fun. Swimming in the salt lakes was stunning. The food was delicious, especially the meal in the desert. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Our tour guide Huseyin was brilliant and really accommodating. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Absolutely must do trip... - Absolutely must do trip in Egypt! Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Especially the guides in Siwa. The driver spoke almost no English which led to a little bit of confusion during the journey and then also when getting into the rooms but no real issues. Both hotels were gorgeous and the activities were so much fun.

Must do visit to the Oasis with Touritos - Gamal and the Touritos team were great to visit Siwa with. I felt safe, very immersed in the culture over the 3 days, was able to try lots of different food, and saw beautiful varied sights. Siwa is stunning and a relaxed place to visit - would recommend! Thank you from Canada

A very fun adventure in Siwa - One of the best trips we've ever made! We visited amazing places, tried very tasty food, and we were very well cared for! Everywhere there was always water, and we were offered snacks to eat. We had a lot of fun in the dunes in the desert, sandboarding, visiting ancient temples, swimming in the saltwater pools, dining in the light of candles in the desert, strolling in the center of the city, watching the sunset on the island in the lake of the oasis, all this always in the company of our guide Mojito, which was great! Very dear, friendly, with a lot of knowledge about the places and the history of Egypt, easily explained to us on any doubt we had. I found it cute that he gave us Egyptian coins and bracelets with our names engraved! In addition, our driver Samir Hamish also made the ride very fun, always driving carefully, demonstrating his skills when passing with the van in more difficult places, without losing the joy and humor! Even though I can't speak Arabic, and he doesn't speak Portuguese, we talked a lot, and laughed a lot trying to learn new words along the way! He found the word Raposa very funny, and that I was drinking coffee without sugar! Hahahha! An unforgettable trip for us!

Beautiful Experience - Thanks for the arrangement. - Overall experience is good for such a beautiful remote oasis. You'll enjoy the desert, starry nights. If you're into astronomy, then this is the right place to be. You'll enjoy the salt lakes and a traditional dinner in the desert. The atmosphere is so chilling and relaxing and you'll love it. Siwa is a very remote place in the Western Egyptian desert and very close to the Libyan border. Expect full day travelling from Cairo. We began about 5.00 AM and we were in Siwa about 5.00 PM.

Lack of informations - I gave 3 🌟 only because of the people that I met there,because they tried to do a memorable experience.And they did it.But the way the trip was organized had any sense.I booked a 3 days trip,and I have the possibility to go from Cairo in the morning or in the evening.I chose the one in the evening,because was easier for me. Theoretically we supposed to have some places to stop during the way to Siwa,like Marsa Matruh,and it was written that we will go with a car,even if is a share trip.I found myself getting in the bus station,by a driver who came to take me to the hotel.We didn't go to Marsa Matruh because it was night when we arrived there.And the second day in the evening we went back.They let me in a hotel,so had nothing to do with the desert camp.I stayed just one night and 2 days...even if I paid for 2 nights and 3 days.When I arrived to Cairo,they let me in the bus station without anyone who could come to bring me to the hotel,like it was written on the site.As I said,the guides were the only one who did their job and the experience was unforgettable.But the agency...no comment.They could mention those details and maybe I would have accepted to book it like this,but had nothing to do with what is writing there.So chose the trip who starts in the morning,maybe it would be organized in a better way. Personally,I would never book anything with them again
