Amazing experience - The trip was well organized, we went on time returned on time, the guides were super kind super helpful, the team in general was very friendly and they follow up professionally. The food could be better, but it was an unforgettable experience 🤍

Really good tour - It was great, the guides are awesome and we were visiting everything. On the other hand the trip is really long and you have little room on the bus so it became more uncomfortable. I would have been happier if we spent more time in the Egyptian Museum and at the Pyramids. Moreover on the way back it was sad when we stopped for hours waiting, since we could spend this much time with sightseeing. Overall it was worth it, the organisation could be better, but for this amount of money it was a really good trip. I recommend people who bear this much travelling by bus, and being accompanied by guides all day. I definitely not recommend it those who are with kids.

This trip is a must. Absolutely fantastic 👏🏾 - Another tick off my bucket list. I knew it was going to be along coach ride I preferred this to flying as I don't like flying. However the late night pick up by the time you sleep you are there. Once there it was non stop museums and ancient history. Our guide was fantastic. The pyramids were amazing as well as all of the other sites. This is a must if you visit eygpt. And thanks again viator another perfect activity and hassle free booking. Thus is the 4th destination I have used the app. Let's the adventures continue

Wouldnt recommend viator - Incorrect information provided when we booked the tour. Although advised by operator that no visa is required, we still got one at the airport for all of us and still ended up getting charged by viator when a stamp wasnt done on 1 of the passports by airport officials. Also the tour lasted about 27 hours. Just had a 5 minute stop at the spinx where as it was about 45 mins at a perfume shop which wasnt needed, nor a part of iternary. Wouldnt recommend viator.

Bad experience - Horrible experience that ruined my holiday and visit these beautiful places. Let’s start from the beginning: they pick us up from the hotel at 1 am but we leave at 3 am because we waited for the people who would do the visa (other tours get it for you days in advance because they inquire if you have it). Other stops and long waits during the trip that make us arrive at the Egyptian Museum at 10. Of course we visit the museum in a hurry and we don't even see Tutankhamun's mummy. We pay €15 in taxes but they ask us another €10 for the very short Nile ride and that is not worth it. They ask us another 20€ for the carriage to visit the pyramids (duration 5 minutes) and the coachman was also annoyed because he wanted the tip at all costs. Very short visit of both the pyramids and the sphinx. The Italian guide is nice but you do not understand much of what he says. Very tired we ask not to visit the papyrus museum and the oasis of essences but they still take us. We return to the hotel at 3 am!! Really an absurd thing, on the description it was not mentioned this return so late or we would have taken the plane. Bottom line: we spent a lot of money more than the price of the visit, almost equal if we had booked the excursion by plane, also the places are visited quickly without enjoying them fully. Be wary of the times written here and they will tell you why you will be late and ruin two days of your holiday!

Shocking!!!! - We spent over 20 hours on a bus, upon arrival at the museum we was given ear pieces to listen to the tour guide my husband was missed out I asked the tour guide for an ear peace for him but I was ignored we couldn’t use the toilet until end of tour. The Nile cruise that was outlined at an optional extra on your website became mandatory and my family was charged £40, a family on the same tour as us was only charge £5 for there child I questioned the tour guide why he just dismissed me and walked away. The meal was appalling they didn’t cater for my youngest son who has food allergies. We was dragged to various shops where you have people trying to sell you things which ultimately resulted in us only having 30 minutes at the pyramids, we wasn’t allowed inside the pyramids we was told by our guide there was nothing to see only interested in our money for camel ride and tips which the tour guide conveniently arranged for us.
