Excellent experience, value for money - This trip is long and tiring but what a trip, the value for money is excellent, we did so much, things your eyes can’t believe, our drivers were brilliant, plenty of toilet breaks but take some $1 bills cause you pay for the toilet paper, they got us there on time to everything, 2 driver that work so well together with sharing the driving when the other is tired. Our guide was knowledgeable and so lovely he told us who to trust and who not to, he got us a great deal on souvenirs, spoke great English and looked after us very well, top man. The Nile boat ride was lovely, our own private boat and lovely guys looking after us on that. If I could have a moan about anything it was the perfume shop, I feel he wasn’t happy that I wasn’t interested in what he was selling and I did end up walking out I do think this should be cut out and more time being spent in the museum or at dinner. The museum was unbelievable and our guide showed us all the best artefacts. Dinner was lovely it was across from the pyramids but you need to be on the second floor to see them while eating but the dinner was lovely even though it wasn’t quite a pyramid view. Drinks are not included in the meal but there cheap enough to buy. Our driver shared the driving and got us back pretty sharpish which we was happy tired by then, swapping when tired and only stopped once as we just wanted to get back, very good driving and always felt safe. All in all it was an experience of a life time and well worth the long day. Worth every penny for everything we seen and did 5 star service absolutely loved it thank you so much to the drivers and the guide they deserve the credit as they were excellent.

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.

Do it!! - Small group turned out to be a large group , several excursions in 1 bus and therefore also differ among themselves , we booked incl drink on the way but we are the only one in the bus together with boat trip payment , asked and received drinks twice , fine English-speaking guidance, very hasty day so but definitely worth it , many beautiful things seen with good explanations - definitely worth it !!

Tourguidin Alma with heart - Off the front... If Alma (tour guide) were not, I would have given fewer stars. We were picked up 1:30 at 8:30 to arrive in Cairo. In between 3 breaks for the drivers with a duration of 10-30 minutes. Once in Cairo, Alma greeted us warmly and this caring and warm manner kept her throughout the tour. With a lot of knowledge she could answer every question and give us a lot of information. She was an asset to the entire tour. What saddens us is that Old Cairo was not part of the tour for you, even though it was stated in the course of the tour. Furthermore, we were dragged to a sales stall and the boat trip can really be saved. You can't see more than on the jetty where you get in the boat. Therefore, actually only 3 out of 5 stars if it had not been for Alma.

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.

Tour doesn't keep what it promises. Booking office Viator cheeky and opaque. It's too bad. - Basically, it is a pity that a tour is offered here - with Alt-Cairo - before which nobody knows anything locally. For both very nice guides 'Alt-Cairo - despite Friday and thus 'free' was not known in the program. The booking office took the ‘error’ on its head. However, they were not willing to refund any of the booking price and only offered a ‘submarine tour’ as compensation, although we left a day later. I chose this tour especially because Alt-Cairo was there. At GetYourGuide and FTS Travel we have had much better experiences. Here we had booked a trip to Luxor. That was absolutely great - especially the logistics with WhatsApp and the general info.

BEWARE AWARE.. Please read Carefully... - The reason I've given a one star is i personally feel ths company are misleading with the pricing... I booked this for My partner and myself at the cost of £67 per person £134 in total, What I didn't notice is at the bottom where it states NOT INCLUDED is a mandatory extra payment of £20/€20 or $25 per person 🤔 For so called Transportation ? and insurance costs ! bringing the total for the trip to £174, No mention or reminder from this company about the extra cost until you're within the 24hr no refund bracket 🤔 Probably my own fault for not reading it rite that I understand, BUT why is this not in the overall price when first booking and paying for the trip... I could have found same trip cheaper with another company with no hidden small print charges... Please don't get caught out with their booking price....
