Pyramids and Beaches - July 09

 

Dear GoBus and team,

 

Following returning home from my long vacation overseas, I spent a total of 6 weeks abroad, but the most exciting time was greatly enjoyed with the GoBus/On the Go team in Egypt.

These guys are absolutely fantastic to their clients – team effort is first class with them all…

 

They’re a great team who splendidly welcomes you to Cairo from the time you arrive and until you leave. For instance, I was met at the airport at 0125 hrs in the morning, fast track through customs to the hotel, and then the next morning we were on our way to experience Egypt. This was absolutely fantastic, the whole time with our tour guides was first class, all the way to Jordon these guys were always there for you, when some of us transferred from one country to another, everything thing went without any problems occurring, especially observing difficulties with other travellers etc.

 

When I returned to Cairo I had two extra days to enjoy Cairo, but without any hesitation I was soon on my way to Alexandria, this was something I wanted to do as an extra, but these guys made it all happen without any hassle and it was made affordable for me to do as well. This goes to shows the willingness of these guys in helping you along so that you enjoy your time with them..

 

Sadly the country standard of living is well below Australian standards, but the acceptance of Australian’s holidaying in Egypt was absolutely tremendous, something well worthwhile experiencing, the whole time spent in Egypt and Jordon also with the concern of loosing one’s own personal belongings, getting food poisoning as well, but during the whole time especially in the midst of their summer heat I went without any medical problems occurring whilst travelling there, since returning to Australia I’ve managed to stay totally free of any stomach viruses and the H1N1 Swine Flu.

 

I consider my vacation was most spectacular for our fantastic group as we all greatly enjoyed our time with this team of great guys and the friendly Egyptians as well...


I will highly recommend your company, especially Egypt tour to many of my friends as the most ideal holiday location to go and visit, it was an experience of an life time for me and others on this tour.

 

Special thanks and acknowledgement to Ayman Wadaa  in Cairo, who met me at the airport and also arranged extra tours at the end of my stay in Cairo, Ayman farewelled me at the airport; this is their dedication to their clients. This is first class service for a budget holiday company. Thanks guys for making this a wonderful holiday for me and the others on my tour.

 

Yours gratefully

Overall the tour/holiday exceeded my expectations and the organisation of the tour was great. Our guides knowledge of Egyptology was amazing and it was evident that he was very passionate about his country and its history.

I think Ahmed Saheed is a great credit to GOBUS, he took a mountain of info and somehow compacted it into an understandable processable amount of info, he has inspired me to learn more about Egypt and I feel my tour would not have meant as much without him! Overall a great trip.

Abs is the best tour guide, I have ever had. He makes you feel excited about learning about Egypt and ancient Egypt all together. The highlight of the journey was the felucca cruise.

The organsiation and care by all personel was excellent. In particular we felt very confident in the care of Abdul who was unfailingly available caring and very informative - I learned more from him on the subjects than ever before. When my friend was sick he was totally supportive and did everything possible for her comfort and reassurance.

Dahab is a fantastic place, wonderful people, beautiful ocean, lots of fun and very relaxing. Wally was fantastic, we were looked after very well but also given plenty of freedom. Perfect! The highlight for me was snorkelling at Blue Hole and Mt Sinai.

The staff and tour leader have been excellent on this tour. In terms of value for money, it's the best tour I've been on.  The experience I've had on this tour would make me use GOBUS again or recommend it.

Pyramids and Beaches - November 08


Dear GOBUS team,
 
I just wanted to give you some quick feedback on the pyramid part of my trip. I left on the 1st of Nov from London to Cairo to then go on the tour. Our tour guide was Maged and I have to congratulate you as he was excellent.
 
Not only did  he make everyone feel looked after and informed, he also went out of his way to make our stay as smooth and brilliant as possible. I was also very very impressed with his knowledge about the history of Egypt and no question was left unanswered. He was full of such passion for the history that it got hold of us all.
 
Thank you very much for a brilliant history tour and the smoothest organisation and best tour guide I have encountered to date.
 
If you have any questions do not hesitate to get in touch.

 
Best regards
Elke


Egyptian Express - October 08


Dear GoBus,

 

We have been meaning to write to you for a while ( we returned in October) to tell you how amazing the trip was. Everything was excellent. We went on the GoBus 9 day Egyptian Express. Our guide Abdoal was fantastic; he ensured we had the most amazing time.


Because we came all the way from Australia, we were really excited and Abdoal made sure we loved our trip! He put so much effort into making sure everyone on our trip had the most amazing time. He was caring and funny and never lost enthusiasm (even during Ramadan.) He provided heaps of facts and information and knew his Egyptology extremely well. He made everyone feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. He was happy to answer any questions and to help out whenever asked.

The tour was well organised, provided heaps of information and was well-paced. We were pretty comfortable the whole time,despite the range of transport and loads of traveling. 

 

The accommodation provided was better than we expected for the price. The highlights for us were the felucca, the donkey ride to/ and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Abu Simbel and the Pyramids/Sphinx. We also went on our own in a taxi to the Kahn El Kahlili markets (a very full-on experience but really good!!) 

 

The level of attention on this tour was superb;being collected from the airport and having our luggage carried made everything so easy when we first arrived. We were taken to the airport at 2 in the morning by Simon who saw us through customs and everything...this is so helpful and truly wonderful. Simon was our second person of most contact and he was excellent. The tour was such good value for money! Thank you for such a wonderful tour that we absolutely loved. Next year, we are considering the Go Bus Trans-Mongolian tour from Moscow to Beijing.

 

Once again, it our pleasure to write to you about our amazing trip and say thank you to the GoBus Team, especially Abdoal. Simon and Alladin were also wonderful.

 

Kind regards,
Brooke Bennedick and Peter Cole

 

Pyramids and Beaches -  23rd March 08

 

Hi John,


Just wanted to send you a quick email to say thanks so much for helping us to organize our trip to Egypt. We are currently in Dahab and having a fantastic time. The tour was just so fantastic, it was possibly the best trip we have ever been on! Our tour leader Said was just the best. He was so enthusiastic and so organized. He was so knowledgeable about all of the historic sites and we learned so much from him.


I read in the GOBUS handbook that you have now started GOBUS Turkey tours. Do you have a website for this? I would love to check it out as we are going to turkey this summer.
Thank you so much again!
