Experience to remember forever. Scenic nature is at the level of world wonders. Service and organisation is perfect. Highly recommend to join once in Cairo. Secure enough time in advance.

The trip was nice, but it was not what we were expecting. We were hoping to have plenty if time to walk in the deserts and explore the area. In the end, the tour was mostly a driving tour with quick stops here and there. It took us about six hours (including driving, stops, lunch) before reaching the first stop, and we had about 15-20 minutes at every stop before being told by our driver that it was time to go. The sand boarding was also very quick. The driver picked up a board that was left on the side if the road by another vehicle. Each of us went down the sand dune twice. The next day was almost only driving, except for a 15 minute stop in the black desert. Also, despite booking the English tour, our guide did not speak English. As mentioned on another comment, the driver being on his phone while driving was also a problem. While driving on the desert, we felt like the driver nearly hit rocks on the ground several times because he was looking at his phone. The sites that we visited were amazing. The white and black deserts made us feel like we were on a different planet. The camping night in the white desert allowed us to explore this area a little more and to sleep under a sky full of stars. The dinner that our driver prepared for us was also very good (chicken, rice, vegetables, salad, fruits). The people who served us lunch were also kind and welcoming. All in all, the trip is good for people who want to drive around the area and see nice landscapes, but for someone who would want to explore the area more, I would recommend booking a different tour, or maybe booking a longer tour to have more time at each location, because we sometimes felt like we were in a hurry.

First of all, the experience itself is amazing. Sleeping in the white desert was wonderful, the food was very tasty and the tent was quite comfortable. We also saw desert foxes, which I loved. Nevertheless, I must say that I find it quite stressful to be in a fast car driven by someone who frequently checks their cellphone. I do understand that desert roads are often quite monotonous and if you drive the exact same route more frequently, I can perfectly understand that it gets a bit boring. Looking at your phone will never be a suitable solution for me though. As someone who just recently had a car accident while traveling, I would really rather be sure my driver is 100% focused on the road. It's literally my life in their hands. I am really sad to not be able to give 5*, because the activities themselves (black desert, white desert, dinner under the stars, crystal mountain, etc) would have completely deserved it. Hope this review helps make sure safety gains more importance!

At first we had an issue with our hotel so last minute we needed to change hotel pickup locations. We were afraid we would miss the booking. Touritos did a great job accommodating for us and was at our new hotel early the next morning! Our tour guide was Ahmed, he and the owner greeted us in the lobby and went over our trip. Ahmed was the third tour guide we have had with La Vacanza Travel, and maybe even the best one yet! He has so much passion for his work and it shows that he loves what he does! My wife and I had a lot of fun and we were amazed at all the sights and knowledge Ahmed and our driver Waleed were able to show us. The Bedouin food was incredible! I highly highly recommend requesting Ahmed for your tour, you will not be disappointed. Very real and unique experience and we can not wait to book again with both Touritos and La Vacanza Travel ! Thank you for a lovely time.
