Amazing experience - Communication was good and prompt pick up time. Long but amazing trip. First stop at the museum with a friendly, knowledgable and helpful tour guide. He added some humour which was nice. There was no pressure to take the Nile boat trip either. The restaurant we stopped at had bbq chicken and kebab as well as buffet food. Drinks were reasonable. The pyramids didn’t disappoint. Option to do a camel ride or horse and carriage to a vantage point ideal for photos. Camel and carriage at extra charge. Our young driver was friendly and cheerful. He took photos. Money expected for this. Visit to a perfume shop. Last stop for the trip was the papyrus museum. Interesting however there was the hope of us purchasing a picture (which we didn’t do). On the trips make sure you have some change as it is expected that you pay to visit the toilet. The drivers were professional and friendly. Ensure you read the inclusions/exclusions too. All in all an amazing experience!

Absolutely amazing - Very amazing. The team was very cooperative and friendly. It was very enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable and explained to us very clearly during the trip. The museum was also full of ancient Egyptian Pharaonic secrets. We visited the very large pyramids and met the original Egyptian people who drive the camels. How nice, friendly and kind they are. Thank you very much, Funny Picnic, because you were the reason we enjoyed this wonderful tour. I will repeat it when I return to Hurghada again.

Thank you - Our trip to Cairo was an enchanting adventure that immersed us in the rich history and culture of Egypt. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the awe-inspiring visit to the famous Pyramids of Giza. Standing in the shadow of these ancient wonders, we marveled at the sheer size and massive structures.
We visited the Egyptian Museum, which houses a large collection of artifacts, mummies and treasures dating back thousands of years. As we navigated the labyrinthine corridors, we were fascinated by the intricate details and historical significance of each exhibit
Our experiments were not limited to effects
We were accompanied by a know-it-all guide who explained all the ancient cultural secrets to us
I highly recommend Funny Picnic, thank you

Great effort - Very professional and easy to communicate. We had a small group experience. Bear in mind that you should have small for some tips and extra things if you like to do. I felt safe with them and looked after them. We had used them for everything safari and boat trip too.

Neither the tour itself nor Cairo are worth seeing! Much suffering and little time for the few "beautiful" things. - We started at 12:30 a.m. in a fully loaded coach that left for Cairo after about 1.5 hours. The long drive was extremely uncomfortable, and when we arrived in Cairo in the late morning, our first impression was staggering: miles of construction sites, piles of garbage and homeless children, starved and dehydrated cats and dogs (also in cages for sale) shaped the image of the city. Our guide Hannah claimed that the Nile area was better, but we could not see any visible difference.
The visit to the Egyptian museum was rather disappointing, and this even though we could see two real mummies. We had only a relatively short quick run and hardly any time to take photos, which was very frustrating. After the museum, we visited a papyrus shop, where we were quite intrusively tempted to buy.
The subsequent lunch was not edible, which further clouded the day.
The pyramids and the sphinx were the only highlight. The sight of the monumental buildings was overwhelming, and for once we had plenty of time to take photos.
Unfortunately, the impressions were again clouded with the suffering of the animals. Starved and dehydrated horses, donkeys and camels who have to run up and down in this heat all day.
Also, you should be prepared that dogs can also meet strays directly at the pyramids.
Unfortunately, we were dragged back to a shop afterwards before we could finally start the return journey.
The entire trip took almost 24 hours, which was very tiring.
Overall, we would not recommend this tour. You are constantly pushed to make purchases and feel that the experiences are only minor.
While the pyramids and sphinx are a must, it would be better to focus solely on these goals.
