Absolutely worth it - Very well organized one day trip to Cairo. We didn’t miss anything. Program lenght are just enough to keep your energy on a good level till the end. Museum-Nile boat trip-Pyramids in a good balance. Drivers are nice and helpful, guide is a professional, shared a lot of fun facts and interesting stories on top of the basic information. Highly recommended tour.

It was truly a master service in all forms ! Nice and careful staff, everything was perfect as described. And they even managed to find my lost item on the bus, and get it back to me. Highly reccomend them!

Thankfully we booked with Egyptra. - We did two day trips from Hurghada with Egyptra. Excellent service, I can not stress this enough, and I would certainly book with Egyptra again. They take you to where you need to go. The tour guide is well informed and will provide you with the historical significance of whatever site you're visiting. They don't ask you for tips or harass you in any way. We were super comfortable on both trips. They just do what they meant to do which was really refreshing. The best excursions we had were with Egyptra.
My advice, if travelling to Egypt, is to book your excursions through Egyptra instead of booking at the hotel. We booked 2 excursions with a different company through the hotel, one was good but the other was terrible plus we kept getting harassed for tips. You will not have these problems with excursions booked through Egyptra.
Thankfully we booked the bigger excursions with Egyptra.
The first trip was to Luxor and was amazing. We were picked up on time in a Van which was super comfortable. The drivers and tour guide were really helpful and polite. We saw the Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple and Karnak temple and grounds.
The second trip was to Cairo, and again we were picked up on time in a nice Van which was really comfortable for the long journey. The route there and back was really well planned out in terms of breaks and arrival time to the various locations we were visiting. It's a long trip, but it didn't actually feel that long. The tour guide again was super nice, informative and helpful. We saw the pyramids, sphinx, museum and had a boat ride on the nile. It was again an amazing day.
We made some really special memories on both trips with Egyptra. Both locations were phenomenal and I cannot fully put into words what it felt to see the sites, especially the pyramids in real life.It is breathtaking.

Pyramids and Egyptian museum - Well organized tour, friendly and knowledgeable drivers and guides! The tour is recommended here! The only thing is to prepare yourself for a long day, the journey is really long! I would have avoided visits to perfume and papyrus shops, but still not invasive and well managed! We entered the great pyramid experience which I recommend but it has an extra €25 per person! The included lunch is a medium level buffet.

Cuts out most of the hassle - It was an excellent trip thank you.
The only problems were delays beyond the company's control, police checks on all tourist buses and vans mainly.
The Cairo guide was excellent, a total positive.
The drivers too were top notch. Efficient and safe and most importantly some great safe driving skills when we had a blowout. I always appreciate being kept alive.
And a no fuss repair.
My only issue, a lengthy stop to sit through a perfume sale, but no-one objected when I skipped it. Better if you leave it off though. Tourists don't enjoy these stops, they endure them.
Thanks all round.

Takes the hassle out - It was an excellent trip thank you.
The only problems were delays beyond the travel co's control, police checks involving lengthy holdovers. Not probs with their docs, holding all tourist buses.
The Cairo guide was excellent, a total positive. Deserves good tips
The drivers too were top notch. Efficient and safe and most importantly some great safe driving skills when we had a blowout. I always appreciate being kept alive.
And a no fuss repair.
Also I feel the trip was great value, though that may be cos we booked at the last minute.
Thanks all round.

Don't book! - The drivers drove very poorly, phone in hand, swaying and saying 'sorry' when they drove too fast over speed bumps because they saw them too late... gosh.
The guide was also bad. He didn't teach us anything.
We visited the Egyptian museum in <40 minutes, but to our greatest surprise we visited a perfume shop (it was not on the schedule) where products were pushed to you. We were here for more than an hour!
Finally, on the return journey, a driver also took 2 ladies to the hotel and everyone had to wait 30 minutes on the bus... while everyone wanted to go to our hotel.
Conclusion: do not do this trip with this travel company! They also do nothing about complaints/feedback and just laugh it off.
