Meeting with the guide
Is it worth it to go to a meeting with a tour operator's guide if we are not going to take excursions from him? Will he create problems later :)?

and you go towards them so that they tell you about the excursions and, accordingly, buy them. Different guides of tour operators act differently, who will threaten you later, who will call your number, someone will force you to sign a piece of paper "that you are warned about the responsibility when buying excursions on the side)))"
go to a meeting and then be free to do what you want

They signed such a piece of paper, they did not quite understand the meaning. Is the signature on it a waiver of insurance if the food is not with them and an insured event occurs? Why is there a line "a copy for the police, for the embassy" at the bottom?

Did it say "cancellation of insurance" on the paper?
insurance applies to everything except any extreme excursions, no matter where you bought this excursion.
Why is there a line "a copy for the police, for the embassy" at the bottom?
then, that many tourists, buying an excursion "on the street" then make claims to the guide. And he's completely out of business here.

Meeting with the guide, most often, is scheduled for the next day after arrival. Be sure to go to the meeting, because. at this meeting, the guide not only offers excursions, but also talks about the hotel, answers all kinds of questions from tourists, and most importantly, gives information about the time of departure from the hotel and flight home. Most tourists fly on charter flights, the departure times of which change, sometimes quite significantly. Information on departures can, of course, be viewed at the maintenance stand in the hotel, but it is better to get general information from the guide.
You are on vacation, not in prison, and no one has the right to force you to do anything without your desire. If the guide behaves incorrectly towards you, you can contact the TO from which the tour was purchased and tell them everything you see fit. Guides are people, and the human factor was, is and will be.

information from the departure is always posted on the maintenance board. with the names of those leaving. the guide meets at the beginning of the holiday, by the end everything can change...
in 99% of cases, the meetings are designed to convince the tourist to buy an excursion from his guide.

Yes, I am of the same opinion that you can go to a meeting with a guide and recommend that you go to him at a time convenient for you. according to the information associated with the hotel, the guide should provide you with all the information. In small hotels, everything is simple and obvious, but in huge 5-star hotels, where there are several restaurants on the territory with their own rules, the ALL system, also in each hotel is individual, other services, if you need it, contact the guide. And if not, relax as you like. imaginary registration of the guide does not follow. As a last resort, give the guide copies of the documents required from you. A good hotel guide and without intimidation can draw your attention to both excursions and communication with him. It's a pity that there are only a few of them now.

You can go if you are at the hotel for the first time. If you are not going to take excursions from a guide, just say that you are not interested. If you do not go to a meeting, no problem. No one will scold.

If it's your first time abroad, then it's worth going. Because in addition to basic information about the hotel, you will be told where to change money, how to get to the center, how to use insurance if necessary. (this is, of course, if your hotel guide is professional and will not be focused only on selling excursions). Do not panic about intimidation that your insurance policy will not work in case of trips not with MOT. these are just words, because when buying a policy, YOU entered into an agreement with an insurance company that takes care of insurance services in Egypt. Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid of.
In my opinion, it is better to allocate 1 hour from your time at the beginning of the rest (if necessary or unclear) for such a meeting. But all points over and will be placed. And you will also know the (phone number) of your host in case of unforeseen circumstances. Because some TOs may not have an info-stand for example. My advice if you are new to Egypt is to go to a meeting.

You can go, but don't sign anything! You have concluded a contract with an agency and with an insurance company, and not directly with a tour operator or a guide representing him. Mutual responsibility only within the framework of the contract. Everything else has no legal platform.
The papers that the guide distributes are nothing more than scarecrows. The main goal of the guide is to get a percentage of the sold excursions.

orhideya21, Annex tour is not an insured person, she is the insured, and you go as an insured person or as an additional insured.
The policyholder is an intermediary between you and the insurance company who takes out insurance and pays money instead of you.

The operator's guide has only one opportunity and task - to sell you an excursion. It's worth walking if you want to buy a tour from the operator. A guide selling excursions is often unable to give information about the hotel if he himself has not lived in it, he does not deal with the problems of settling, tickets, departures, and so on. The guide who accompanies you to the hotel often composes "ten plagues of Egypt" for those who do not come to meet the hotel guide. Among these fabrications I heard the following: the need to activate health insurance, the hint that tourists who did not show up were at an increased risk (compared to those who came) at the beach and even delay their return flight, the need to "register a voucher or ticket". And somehow, the previous time, in Turkey, a heartbreaking story sounded about how parents did not bring a baby to a meeting with a guide (although they themselves came) and then the return flight was delayed as much as 3 days, everyone was placed in a hotel for this time , but a family with a baby was also placed, but with big problems, just a miracle. They can be understood, they have their own goal - to provide this meeting, and then sell excursions.

And our guide changed our room at the Rhodes hotel because I was allergic to a flower bed) When I asked at the reception, they didn’t change it! I didn’t take excursions from her, as I was with a small child, but I noticed that the Russian-speaking Germans who came took excursions from her, and not from their guide - that’s such a responsive guide for 4 years I got called Natasha from the Southern Cross or Abotis, she sat almost always in the hotel
