Highlight of my trip! - This was my favourite day in Egypt and the highlight of my trip! I would highly recommend anyone wanting to visit Cairo from Hurghada to book this day trip. The drivers - Shady and Whalid were amazing and really looked after us throughout the day - the best drivers! Always on time, super friendly and accommodating. I felt at ease with them, and they also made the day fun. Our guide was also friendly and accommodating in looking after us, he made sure we had enough time and did what we wanted to do. There was 6 people in total on the trip which was a great size and as a solo traveller, I was never lost. Each language was well catered for. The minivan was super comfortable for the long drive, and the views on the way were amazing with enough space for everyone. The included drinks were also well appreciated. Everything was well communicated, we knew exactly what was happening and when. They are very upfront and clear about what's not included/is included/pickup times, etc which was also really good. Loved every bit of this trip - the museum, the Nile cruise, the lunch, the pyramids, the camel rides, going into the Pyramid and also seeing the sphynx. Wouldn't have changed a thing and everything we did was good quality. It is a long day, but they make it fun and comfortable - bring a small pillow to sleep in the van. I enjoyed it so much, I booked the same supplier to Luxor and had a great day. Just book it, you wont regret it :-)

Highly recommend - Yasir as a tour guide is truly exceptional! His expertise in Egyptian history is remarkable, evident from his 20 years of experience as a tour guide. The journey to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx was awe-inspiring, and Yasir's knowledge added immense value to the experience. I highly recommend Yasir as a tour guide for anyone seeking a profound exploration of these iconic sites. The adventure to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx was beyond words; it felt like stepping into history itself. Yasir's insights and storytelling truly brought these iconic landmarks to life. I wholeheartedly recommend this agency for a journey filled with wonder and enlightenment. The drivers Hasan Ebonor were absolutely attentive! I left my rucksack at the restaurant they went back and go it for me whilst I enjoyed my tour.

The Egyptian Experience! - This is one of the best tours you can do in Egypt. We were picked up promptly from our hotel in hurghada and driven to Cairo in a air conditioned very comfortable minivan. Our two drivers Hassan and Ebenor were absolutely amazing! The are very safe drivers even though they drive really fast. The drive itself is 6 hours so if you don't mind the long day it's really worth it. Our guide Yasser is so awesome and extremely knowledgeable. He took us everywhere and explained the history to us really well. The Nile boat ride is so lovely and relaxing and the lunch is great too ! The heat is super intense so be prepared when you're at the Pyramids there is no shade. This is a throughly enjoyable experience so long as you don't mind the extremely long day. Thank you so much guys for an amazing day ! Hope to see you again !

A beautiful experience in Cairo - My girlfriend and I were really very positively surprised by the tour. Before we did a tour to Luxor, this was also good, but more stressful, less impressive and still a lot more expensive. Everything was right on this trip to Cairo. The drivers were not only very forgiving and nice, they were also in a good mood and drove well. The guide (German/English) spoke super German and was very sympathetic and explained a lot and knew an answer to every question. He also warned well about tourism traps etc. The program was very comprehensive and yet very compact. We were back home more than 2h before as planned and still saw everything. I've never been so happy to tip the guide and the drivers. Absolute Recommendation!

Perfect tour - Yasser was a great guide - everything in the itinerary was covered in good detail, and Yasser was really knowledgeable about all the sights. He was honest about what entry tickets were worth buying and which ones weren’t, and he recommended we look inside the Pyramid of Teti at Sakkara which was really worth it! We were taken to some papyrus and essential oils shops where it felt like we were expected to buy things but it was also interesting to learn about how they’re made, and we just said no without any issues. Overall really recommend the tour and HurghadaToGo as a company :)

It was a great tour - Guide was great he gave a lot of information and was extremely helpful with taking pictures. It was a long trip of 5 hours with two stops. at 9 o'clock the museum opened the guide was then connected. guided tour of the museum and then free time in the museum. after that a nice lunch where only the drinks were not included. After lunch to the pyramids. This was great the drivers and the guide showed us everything there and the guide took several pictures and gave tips for beautiful pictures. Last stop was the sphinx again enough time to take beautiful pictures. After this unforgettable day back to the hotel this trip also took 5 hours with two stops.

Worth it - What an impressive experience! We were a small group of seven Dutch people, which gave us plenty of space in the van. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and spoke with such passion about ancient Egypt that it really came to life. The included lunch was delicious with plenty of choices. It was quiet at the pyramids, while it was busier in the museum. Fortunately, the guide managed to position us in such a way that we were hardly bothered by this. This trip is definitely recommended if you are in Egypt! During the tour you also visit a "perfume factory and a papyrus factory." Unfortunately, you don't get to see the factories themselves, and it felt like the focus was mainly on sales. That was a disappointment. All in all, this trip is really worth it! A tip: take a pillow with you for the long drive.

Tour with many shortcomings - The transfer picked us up on time at the hotel, however, the two drivers took many breaks to smoke. At two stops, they stopped smoking exclusively without giving us the opportunity to go to a toilet. The tour of the museum was informative, but very hectic and in a noisy environment, so much could not be understood well. The guided tour took place in both German and English. The Nile trip was pleasant but not recommended for the price of 10 € per person as the trip took only half an hour and there was little to see. Before we went to lunch, we were taken to a stall (this was not mentioned in the description) where we were offered oils and perfumes intrusively. The stay there lasted about half an hour and caused general discontent. At lunch unfortunately no drinks were included, but the food was delicious. After that we finally went to the pyramids. It should be noted here that admission is only valid for the outdoor area. Access to the interior of the pyramids costs an additional €19 per person, which I found outrageous and rip-off. At the pyramids and the sphinx we had only half an hour, although we were only allowed to see the sphinx from a distance. Although visiting the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx was impressive in itself, I cannot recommend the tour overall. She was chaotic and poorly organized.
