Reviewed on 2024-12-09: Excellent value trip. Great organisation. Bring extra money (Euros) for compulsory extras. - A brilliant, but long day out. The minibus was clean and comfortable, the two drivers friendly and safe. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. Timetable was perfect. Although the drive was very long and very hairy at times we saw parts of Egypt we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. So interesting and different from the hotel resorts you would otherwise only know about.
