- Hurghada - At around 1:00 a.m. you will be picked up from your hotel and taken to Cairo in an air-conditioned coach. Once you arrive there, you will be met by your tour guide who will accompany you for the entire tour. The trip begins with a visit to the Egyptian Museum, which, in addition to its over 120,000 exhibits, also houses the golden coffin of Tutankhamun. Afterwards you will enjoy lunch. The rest of the trip takes you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The tour of the pyramids ends at the Sphinx and the temple surrounding it. At the end of the trip you may visit a perfume factory or a papyrus factory - this depends on the time remaining. Due to the convoy, the journey from Hurghada to Cairo (one way) can take between 6 and 8 hours, as all buses and cars have to be driven in a police car for security reasons. The coach will drop you off in front of your hotel at around 11 p.m.

Mario was amazing! And so was the trip! - Totally worth the 6hr journey by bus, we were the only english speaking tourists, and we were assigned Mario as our guide, it felt like we had a VIP tour and pass everywhere, he was so good, knowledgeable and made us feel really welcome. Me and my husband were on our honeymoon and he made us feel so special, cutting queues and taking us to the best spots for photos and explaining everything in great detail. It was all so amazing to see! And being in egypt where everyone expects Tips and pressures you into paying for things, Mario never once made you feel like that, he was suprised we even gave him a tip, and when we declined riding camels, he didnt try and change our minds and just got us back in the bus and drove us to an amazing spot for photos. Then just let us wonder around alone for a while.
No regrets. Best part of our trip to eygpt!

Beautiful!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯 - Perfect Value for Award!
Simple and fast organization even at the last minute!
Super stylish, to do really worth it, for sure, the journey is long but for the Award and the unforgettable day you will spend it is worth it!
For the meal, having a woman who does not eat everything, even there are choices..the service also at the top in the establishment, small friendly garden to take the meal, and the head of the establishment present on the premises and with little care for you 😉
* Rafat our Guide was super cool, very professional, just like Egypt tours, again thank you Rafat😘 and your company.

Memorable Cairo Trip! - Thanks to Book Egypy Tour and our Guide Khaled we experienced an unforgettable Cairo excursion. Khaled is the best Guide possible: he speaks very good Italian, is nice, helps you understand well the most important information of the history of Ancient Egypt and knows how to take you where you see the most beautiful things. We did the hike alone with Khaled, always attentive to our needs and what beautiful photos he took of us. Lots of fresh water whenever needed, helped by the driver Shaaleb (I hope it's spelled that way) who managed to drive through the chaos of Cairo with the lightness of an Ibis.
Khaleb then really knows everyone in Cairo, everywhere we went they greeted him and that was a good thing, because everyone treated us like pashas. Thanks again to him and Book Tour Egypt, the best possible for a trip to Cairo. We will certainly see you again when we return!

AMAZING DAY - Fantastic day from start to finish. Rahmy (not sure how to spell his name) our tour guide was absolutely brilliant, his knowledge on everything was incredible. The driver was brilliant as well.
Picked up from hotel to the airport early morning. Museum, went for food, then the amazing Pyramids and Sphinx, on a horse and carriage. Then lastly up the river Nile on a boat. Amazing day with Rahmy.
Would highly recommend.

Good Experience but not good as we expect - The excursion was good, however, we didn't have a guide in Spanish (as we book), and that wasn't good. The guide was an expert in Egyptology, but more free time was essential during the excursions. For example, it was not possible to buy souvenirs at the museum because we only had 5 minutes. The lunch itself was poor, however, the guide's good explanations and the drivers' good disposition made the experience positive.
