Amazing experience - It was a memorable experience. We got to see the museum, perfume and oil show, the Nile, pyramids, papyrus institution and the sphinx. Felt very safe the whole time all thanks to the charming and handsome security guy (if you have his phone number please let me know😜). Lovely meal was also provided at the end. The tour guide was very helpful. All jokes aside I highly recommend this tour. Even though our hotel was a little far they arranged appropriate pick up for us.

Wow - The pyramids, the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world, retain all their majesty. We went by bus from Hugarda to Cairo, a journey of about 8 hours, it was worth every penny! You will find tourist police on camels and if you want trips around the pyramids on carriages. We had lunch in a restaurant overlooking the pyramids of typical local food, buffet menu and every dish was divine (drinks are included)

Nice trip! - Cool trip! Is recommended, no hidden costs, everything as stated. We were picked up at the hotel at 1:40. We were in Cairo at around 8:30. Then we did all the activities according to the program. It was exhausting but worth it. The crew was great!

Thanks - The tour was very beautiful and very tiring. The guides and our tour manager were very attentive. The only problem with the tour was that the road, which should have taken 4 hours due to the Egyptian police, took 8 hours because they kept stopping and waiting. I would like to thank Muhammed and his team again for their interest and concern.

Cairo day trip - First trip to Egypt and paid for the Cairo trip to the pyramids and got more than we expected , museum of Egyptian history was outstanding and the boat trip on the Nile to the floatin restaurant was lovely ( $10 for the boat ) , then on to the Bedouins home for tea/coffee. Then on to the pryamids and sphinx at Giza ( old Memphis ) which was outstanding , we paid $10 each for the panoramic view including camel 🐫 ride and didn't disappoint . When we thought the day was done we stopped at the Egyptian papyrus museum which was interesting . All in all this trip is one I would highly recommend for any visit to Egypt . Many thanks to our guide for the day Mahmoud you definitely made the day special .

Cairo and GIza - Fantasic trip with amazing guides and drivers who got us there safely despite the crazy cairo traffic. Thank you for an unforgettable day. We travelled with 4 children ages between 0-14. Guides were helped to look after the children and ensured they also had a great time.

Good time ... but many extras to be paid for in order to get the good time - After reading good reviews we opted to book in advance of going. Communication up to the day was really good. The timings were way off (original pick up was 0130, confirmed day before for 02:15 but actually was closer to 02:50). Tour was sold as 14 people max and a mini bus. Actually what turner up was a full size coach and about 30 people on the tour. Egyptian museum was first stop. Sold as optional but I don't know what you would do if you didn't buy the tickets and join rest of the tour. Tour gets split into language catered parties which was really good. All tour guides were nice and approachable. The museum is a little rushed. We completed the tour in about 30 minutes, any questions asked weren't really answered as guide keen to get to next exhibit. Next was a trip along the Nile (extra cost) but was a nice 15 min boat ride but no stand out sites to see (but nice not to be in bus) Lunch was nice enough but again quite quick (rice, meat, veg - drinks cost extra) Perfume shop was next stop and was a hit with the family. Had nice drinks, owner exhibited all products and we purchased a few too. Then we went to the pyramids. They were as good as hoped however you do have to pay more money (not optional) to go into the area where the pyramids are (despite being sold as a pyramids tour). To go in the pyramids is then more money as are the camel rides etc. After that you visit the sphinx and gift shop area. Finally you stop at the papyrus shop which again was brief but fun. Journey home is about 5 to 6 hours. We arrived back to hotel about 2330. A long day, had good fun, but felt everything was constantly extra in terms of money and a little rushed in terms of time (especially museum) 3 starts out of 5. Glad we did it. Could be improved
