Tour operator with a twist

This was our first vacation from TUI in Egypt.

And on the second day of rest - 05/09/21 we were organized a meeting with the hotel guide, the meeting, which was promised to be held in 30-40 minutes, took more than 2 hours (2 hours in the morning 9.15-11.30 in Egypt - this means that you will not get to the beach, because hell). Okay, we decided to listen to info about excursions and the hotel.

About the hotel info - 0!!!!

All about excursions.

After the lecture, they gave us less than 1 hour (from 11.30-12.00) to decide on the purchase of excursions. If during this time you do not buy a tour, then do not contact the guide (this is what they said!!!!). Tourists can not contact the representative of the tour operator?!!! - Yes!

Okay! We were driving and knew where we wanted to go, so we decided right away.

Another unpleasant moment was when the guide (Noah), who led the meeting itself, announced the price of the tour for adults and children, and the second guide, to whom we paid (Mikey), said completely different prices (naturally higher!). because this is the official tour operator we paid for everything Mikey said.

As a result, it turned out that all tourists have different prices !!!! How can this be from an official representative?!!!! We rested with 3 families - and each has a different price. (The issue was still in paying for tickets for children - someone paid, someone did not, but at the same time the guide Noah announced that the children were free. We resolved this issue on the spot, we returned the money for the tickets to the children. But the sediment remained !!! )

The icing on the cake was the gift "Sightseeing tour of the city". The guide said it would take 2-3 hours, but!!!!! we went shopping for oils, perfumes, sweets...6 hours!!!!!! 6 o'clock Carl!!!!

The whole bus asked the guide to take you to the hotels, but no!!!! We needed a couple more shops!

Don't see this scam!!!

Still very interesting moments. For example, the escort on the bus to the Bathyscaphe tour, who for the whole journey did not utter a single word about the city or about what awaits us, asked himself a tip)))) Seriously?! (Officially purchased tour from a tour operator at three prices, silence on the bus and another tip. Something).

In general, the TUI left a negative aftertaste.

As well as from TUI representatives in the hotel
