Where to buy excursions.
Please tell me who was and used, where in the Hilton long beach or around it you can buy excursions in the vicinity (except for the tour operator) and who can you recommend. There is a desire to visit Luxor. We will go from 21.12.10 to 28.12.10. Thank you.

There is nothing around Long Beach. We, while relaxing in this hotel, took an excursion to Luxor from our operator (at that time it was Pegasus). A possible option, if you do not like your hotel guide, take a tour from a "foreign" operator, the price will be the same, just a different company.

It’s clear, but reading the reviews, it was felt that if we compare the tour operator’s and street tours, then the meaning is almost the same, and the price is almost 2 times less ... What I personally saw more than once, though in Turkey. Maybe not in Egypt? or who will you run into?

In Turkey, I always take tours on the street. In Egypt - always with the operator. Excursions are cheap, the same Luxor at Pegasus cost $ 40, on the street, it seems, 30.

and the last story with the overturned bus still didn’t convince you that tours with a tour operator are more reliable? but in vain ... take care of yourself, life is worth much more than the difference of 10 dollars for an excursion ... tour operators still value the license more than street vendors

And the numerous stories of this summer with overturned buses of TOUR OPERATORS You, Zhuzhman, did not convince you that there are no guarantees with a tour operator?

Watch and read the news carefully, Pachok. just large tour operators (Tez Tour, Pegasus, Coral) have no problems with transport and drivers. what we have seen from our own experience with Tez excursions.

If the difference is ten dollars, then you have to go with an operator. But if you go to Israel, Pegasus has 180 dollars, and the local 95 have a difference ?!

Your personal experience means nothing. Thousands of people can say the same about street tours. Therefore, it is better to turn to the facts:
On May 25, 2010, the PEGAS-Turis bus accident led to the mass death of tourists - the tourist bus of this company collapsed from the bridge into the Aksu River near the Turkish resort of Antalya. As a result of the accident, 17 tourists died and 24 were injured.
On July 22, 2010, a Pegasus minibus, which was carrying out a transfer from the airport to a hotel for tourists from Barnaul, overturned 12 kilometers from Manavgat.
From the history:
08/13/2006 overturned transfer bus with Russian tourists near Belek
09.09.2007 Tez Tour bus accident, Ukrainian guide died and tourists from Russia and Belarus were injured
10/04/2007 bus of the Russian operator Sanmar crashed into a pole
07/03/2008 transfer bus accident, guide died
On the first and last occasion, I did not find the name of the tour operator in the news, but is there any doubt
that the group transfer is carried out by TO, and not by street offices?
So ... Zhuzhman, CAREFULLY watch and read the news!

I support Pachok. Careless driving is the mentality of the inhabitants of Egypt. I sincerely believe that tour operators can impose certain requirements on drivers. But!!! Egyptian drivers are like children, as long as parents do not see, it is possible without a hat in the cold. Traveled to Cairo and Luxor with a tour operator. About thirty buses at the same time. At first, more or less, drivers drive tolerably, but then they get bored and (probably due to their temperament) they begin to "play". They overtake each other, put their legs up on the torpedo, talk on the phone. As a result: on the road from Cairo, our bus drove independently, "well, it broke away from the others" (although it should go in a column) and the driver was sincerely glad that he overtook everyone. So draw your own conclusions. Operator or not, there are no guarantees - this is not Europe. Rely on yourself and...

Do not give in to provocations!!! Don't you see how Egyptian travel agents advertise themselves under different nicknames?! Do street vendors have cheaper excursions? Well, well! So, if something happens to you on the road (and it can happen at ANY agency or TO), then YOU CAN ONLY MAKE CLAIMS TO YOUR TOUR OPERATOR !!!, HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU, including treatment, but try show them to street vendors?! How many cases have there already been that people were even denied insurance because of this? Hidden agents, I'm sorry if my information takes away from you a piece of bread, a knife and people's health - more expensive!

Are you serious? What, in the insurance it is discussed that to buy excursions only from your tour.o.? That's impossible!

How much???? No one! Unless, of course, the tourist bought insurance in TA with the inscription "nothing is an insured event."
The heresy about "invalid insurance" is usually carried by representatives of TA/TO. If something happens on the road, then NEITHER the street agency, NOR TA/THAT is responsible for anything! This is the business of the insurance company. But if a tourist was smart enough not to read the conditions of insurance before traveling, then this is really grief. Typically, insurance is valid in the country for a certain period of time. With whom the tourist rode there on excursions - it does not matter.
Dear friends! Read Your Insurances! If the agency sold you the cheapest insurance, with minimal coverage and deductible, go to a normal insurance company and get yourself additional insurance, it's inexpensive and fast.

In short, I went and arrived, I report: Tour operators Luxor costs $ 85, Intourist, since it was ours, with a discount of $ 75, in a street bureau about 3-4 km from the Hilton in the Cleopatra shopping center area $ 50. True, we didn’t go with anyone ... Well, nothing, next time. I was pleased with the questionnaire, which was distributed to everyone by the Intourist agent at the hotel, with the sauce that it is necessary in order for us to send you back, plane tickets, etc. There, at the end, it was written that the tourist undertakes not to go on excursions with anyone except Intourist, otherwise the insurance is not valid and no one is responsible for you. Well, we didn’t even begin to fill out and sign this outrageous heresy, and nothing happened to us because of this, the planes flew as expected (as it was possible at that time on December 28 :)) I read the insurance, there is naturally nothing said about this .
