amazing Tour with great tourguide - The Tour was really great we got told pick up time is 1:35 but they came a lil bit later cause they also had to pick up other people.the bus was comfortable with ac and Toilet in it.you share the bus with people who ordered the Tour in different languages and the one with the most of the same language is basically the leader of the guides.we for example booked the Tour in english and 95% of the rest in polish so we had our own Private tourguide just for us 2 in english which was amazing Service and our guide was also amazing.the road from hurghada to cairo took around 5 1/2 hours with 1 stop for around 30min to move your legs and get something to eat or drink,and no people to try to sell you Souvenirs.the first stop was a nile river Tour for around 40min which is optional if you want you can take it and it Cost us 10$ for 2 people.was better than waiting outside the bus for 40min and not doing anything.the next stop was the National Museum of cairo where we spend 1hour in a personal Tour and than 30min where we could explore in on our own.but entrance fee isnt included in this package so you need to pay around 10$ per person for the entrance ticket.the next stop after that was a you could say perfume shop where you can get explained how they make the perfume in the past, its optional and you dont need to do it and can wait outside,was around 15min.after that we went to the Restaurant which was a Buffet with bbq'ed meat,and side dishes you can choose from,the food is included but drinks you need to pay for. After that we finally went to the pyramids,first stop is at the biggest pyramid where you have around 5min to make pics,and here you also need to pay around 10$ per person entrance fee.after that there is a little drive in the bus to the other pyramid where you get around 40min to spend your time how you want.they make you the offer that you can take a camel ride or like a rikshaw with horse to go to a better place to make pics where you see all 9 pyramids,the 3 big ones and 6 smaller ones,but it will cost also 10$ per person,but in our personal experience it was 100% worth it to do that for the view.than after that we went with the bus between the biggest and Middle pyramid where we got again 20min to make pics and walk around.than after that we got to the Sphinx and spend around 20min there too for pics and history lesson.after that we went to the bus again and went to a store where they explain you how papyrus Was made and you could also buy some,took around 25min.and after that the way back started,we sadly got caught in traffic so the road back took longer and there was a stop to stretch your legs and get something to eat again.we arrived back at our hotel at around 23:30,so you can expect the Trip to take at least 22hours but in our opinion its 100% worth it to do this trip to see the last remaining of the 7 World wonders

Amazing Experience - This tour was the highlight of my trip. Seeing all the artifacts in the museum was unreal. The pyramids were incredible to see. It was impressive to see all the work the ancient Egyptians put in to build these structures and they are still standing strong. The camel ride was not included in the tour but it was worth the extra cost. Our guide went above and beyond with taking our pictures. He made sure we got spectacular shots. Our tour guide, Mohammad, was very knowledgeable. He explained all the historical facts you would expect your guide to explain. This tour is worth it! Yes the bus ride is long but it will all be worth your wild once you see all the beauty Cairo has to offer.

Saved a lot and enjoyed the main places of Cairo - I recommend this agency, everything went smoothly from booking to the end. Basically 5 minutes after booking we chatted on whatsapp. We were picked up at 1 am with a big bus and had lots of space. Dont forget to take warm clothes, it gets chilly in Egypt at night. In the morning we arrived in Cairo and visited every place without queues because of the pandemic. Our guide was helpful and her english was great. We saved over 2/3 of the price comparing with the hotel agency.

Day tour was fun - It was fun and worth every penny. Although the journey was long winded the whole experience was fun. The tour guide were good however i would tend to take advantage of your surroundings and just go by yourself

The Best Trip we have ever been on! - We booked this trip prior to leaving for Egypt and I am so pleased we did. We are a family of 7. 2 seniors, 2 Adults and 3 Teens. We were collected from our hotel at 3am and travelled to Cairo in a luxury private Mini bus with 2 drivers. They were such lovely, professional people who really took care of us during our journey there and back. They made 3 stops on route and ensured we were comfortable throughout the journey. On arrival we met our tour guide who was extremely knowledgable (having previously worked for Thomas Cook for 20 years) and very helpful. He gave us a tour of the museum. We also had a boat trip on the Nile, where he took wonderful photos of us as a family then escorted us to a boat on the Nile where we had our lunch. It was very nice! We then Headed for Giza to the pyramids. It was a fantastic experience. He arranged for us to ride a camel to the Sahara desert. This was one of the highlights of our holiday. I would definitely recommend doing this. You can see 9 pyramids and the people looking after the camels take amazing photos and videos of you and your family during your ride, for a small tip afterwards. Well worth it! I can’t say enough about how amazing this trip was. We felt completely safe at all times and we will remember this day forever! We were so impressed with this tour and this company, we booked another trip with them to Luxor on Monday. We can’t wait! Thank you for the most memorable, magical day! If you are in two minds whether to book this trip, you will not be disappointed going with this company. They exceeded ALL our expectations!

Wow amazing tour and experience - I recommend this your too everyone. I have one word and that is wow! The tour started with that we got picked up by a family bus. The bus was perfect not to big and not to small. The drivers where so kind and offered too stop for toilet breaks and food break. Once we arrived to Cairo we meet the wonderful history professor Nagin. He was our tour guide. He told me most amazing stories and arranged such a memorable tour with a lot history. We went to the museum of Cairo, had a boat tour on the Nile. Had the most amazing lunch and after that did we see the amazing pyramids. Nagin arranged that we could walk in a pyramid for free. He also arranged a camel ride to the top of a hill so we could have the most beautiful view of the pyramids and take beautiful pictures. He was very helpful so we wouldn’t be bothered or tricked by the sellers that was working around the pyramids. My whole family loved this tour and we are still talking about it!

A Good Duo - Very good way to see both Cairo/Giza when in Hurghada. Comfortable journey on the coach there end back and the lunch and pyramids were amazing. Drinks at lunch are only 50EGP£ hot & cold. I think this trip does have good value despite sightings not being included. Pyramids: 200 EGP£. Museum: 200 EGP£. I didn’t do the following below but I believe; Nile Boat Ride (Optional): 200EGP£ To enter pyramid (Optional): 100EGP£ Camel/Horse ride(Optional): I think was 300/400EGP. I advice not to ride camels or horses because it’s unethical and unnecessary for them to suffer just to capture a panoramic picture.

Fast paced but Informative and fun - Pick up was directly at our front door however one tour guide came to our hotel in a taxi to pick us up to take us to the bus. The process to pick up and drop off customers was time consuming and made us feel skeptical of the overall experience but once we made it to the tour bus the remainder of the trip was exactly what we paid for. Our guide was very informative and answered any questions we had. He also made the effort to get to know each of us in his group. The locations we visited were awesome. We felt very safe riding around in Cairo. All shops and souvenir staff we were introduced to were friendly and not overwhelming. My only suggestion would be to spend less time at Sultans and maybe add the additional time at the Egyptian museum. Sultans was amazing we bought a few items but we did not think we needed so much time there to discuss sample and purchase products.

Travel was awful. No clear ticket price on museums and need to know up front what is covered in price we pay - You think you have cheap trip, but it get more expensive as you are literally being used as a cow being milked. You pay and pay and pay. I wonder if this big company we give the money to, give the driver or the workers any money. Because it doesn’t seem like it
