Which travel agency to choose?
We really want to go to Egypt. We've read so many bad things that we don't know which travel agency to choose!
Tell me which travel agency to choose so as not to fly over and especially not to overpay. We are from Moscow. Thank you!

You should choose not a travel agency, but a hotel and resort where you plan to relax.
The travel agency sells you an air tour and transfers money for the hotel you have chosen.
For my part, I recommend choosing a hotel with its own reef, and preferably located in the bay.

Look at the prices of the main operators, decide, and then look at the agency with which the operator you like works. Prices, as a rule, at agencies are the same as on the operator's website. This season I'm for TezTour - the hotel I chose for November is cheaper than TurTess. I just don't like Pegasus.

If you look in general, then in my opinion the position of Pegasus in Egypt is stronger than any other tour operator. It's my personal opinion! And as for reliability, then Tez Tour and Turtess and Pegasus.

Maria, you have much more of them in Moscow than in Ukraine ...
Mostrevel, after the deal with Tui, has become more reliable.
Air carriers have a related business. S7 is doing well.
There are plenty to choose from: Intourist, Sanmar, Coral, Anex, Natalie, Troika, etc.
Pegasus sins by postponing charters for long periods ...
Number one - TezTour, but the price is too high ...
You choose. If you want to save money, wait for discounts or last-minute deals at TezTour.
I went most of the trips from them. Everything is high quality and clear, although Pegasus did not let me down either ...

It is necessary to choose not a travel agency, but a tour operator.
A travel agency is just a retail point of sale for tours made by a tour operator. Since tour operators rarely sell tours directly, you have to buy from travel agencies.
But in the event of some kind of force majeure, it will not be the travel agency that will be responsible for you, but the tour operator. The task of the travel agency is only to help you choose a tour, collect money from you and transfer your order to the tour operator.
Some travel agencies are also tour operators for some of their "favorite" destinations, usually very specific ones, in which they themselves make tours.
Again, this is more the exception than the rule.

What is quality?
For me, for example, any hotel where animation is noticeable, where everyone lives in the same building, and even located in the city, will be a priori of poor quality.
Everyone has a different definition of quality.

flew to Egypt from Pegasus, Motsravel (already merged with Tui, did not like how the organization of excursions was accepted) and Intourist. most of all I liked from the foreign tourist. and how the excursions are organized, and how they met and saw off. and of course the guide was very good. There are no questions for foreign tourists.

And we bought a tour from CORAL.
The organization of the tour was excellent.
Happy day everyone!

I also looked at this hotel, but this October
I am going to Braika in Marsa Alam, as I liked this place much more than Sharm.
By the way, where have you been and what do you compare this hotel to? And then when reading your recommendations, there is a feeling that this hotel is the only place in Egypt where you have been.
About the hotel where I was for the first time, I have been writing rave reviews for several years, because for the first time the impression was just very strong.

Papa74 - Dreams beach - be on the 1st line,
Dreams vacation - on the 2nd - but this is conditional, just a little further from the sea. No difference. The territory is common.
About the hotel - Helnan Marina - reviews are much worse.
But anyway, thanks for the advice.
M.B. We will also visit Helnan Marina.

abysfinks, did you fly with GLOBALINTOUR? Did you like the service? Departures were not transferred? How did you meet, etc.?

Yes, everything was right on schedule. I realized that GLOBALINTOUR is a cheap clone of TEZ, because. starting from Sheremetyevo, I received documents from the TEZ representative, and then TEZ was everywhere. We met as usual, without any overlap, and one was taken to the hotel (from this flight to Dahab, I was the only one traveling from TEZ, I got an individual transfer there and back). I liked the work of the hotel guide. The hotel administration promptly responded to all comments from her (Nina). Nina even sometimes came to see the quality of the buffet. When the local travel company could not arrange a trip to Cairo for me, Nina did it for me within a day, it turned out to be 1.5 times more expensive, but everything is clear and with a taxi to Sharm and back and with a transfer to the TEZ bus.

Yes, I heard that TEZ has several subsidiaries that sell tours cheaper, but the service is at the level, since the meeting party is TEZ. But I didn't know that GLOBALINTOUR was one of them. Thanks for the info! Do they only fly with Aeroflot or do they have other airlines? It's just that Aeroflot has a large surcharge for fuel ($100 versus the usual $40)

I won’t say anything about other airlines, because. I do not have such information. Try calling them. Phone numbers are on their website. I was charged $70 for the fuel surcharge (against the usual $40).

WELL people .. From the travel agency, much, if not all, depends. For example, I prefer to spend my vacation without worrying about the fact that some unnecessary conversation will spoil it for me. Everything is discussed and chosen by me in advance. Well, the second plus, no matter what happens, I know that the travel agency will adequately solve all my questions, with just one call. I myself am from Moscow, and I use the services of the Aizen company only. So far, only positive impressions from the whole holiday.
