Excellent 1 day trip to cairo - What a fantastic trip from booking until the trip finished. Kept informed throughout. Value for money trip and loved it. A massive thank you to Ahmed Mohammed Hassan (tour guide) what a Guy. Looked after us well, was extremely knowledgeable, funny,helpful, very friendly, great advice, he made the trip fantastic and was good fun. I am so glad we had his company what a credit he is, He arranged the day so we could go to the pyramids earlier so we wasn't in the intense heat of the afternoon. He gave me advise around the pyramids and how some of the picture takers can act he told me how to deal with it but I got caught out, nothing major that I couldn't handle but he was there in a flash. And no problems. What a Guy Ahmed your a star. Also a big shout out to the amazing driver! Zanaty how that man got us around the mad streets of Cairo was brilliant. We had plenty to drink, he drove us in comfort and showed off his exceptional driving skills, both Zanaty and Ahmed treated us to a new food treat that we have never heard of or tried and they bought for the group some fruit I believe off a cactus which showed there hospitality. Another great guy also a credit to the tour operator. Made our day great very friendly guy!!

Flawless Experience - Perfect - Flawless experience - highly recommended... Ms. Heda was our travel consultant and she was amazing, super supportive and patient through the whole booking process - she then regularly followed up with us during our stay - to make sure everything was up to standards. Would definitely consider her an asset to the company. We booked 3 nights in Cairo and 9 nights in Sharm Al Sheikh. Ms. Asmaa was our operations consultant and also did a good job. Both my wife and I come from international hospitality background and quite picky / demanding... But these guys just went the extra mile and made everything happen... Thank you for an amazing service and vacation.

Amazing trip to Cairo and the Pyramids from Sharm - What an absolutely amazing trip! I was advised a group of up to 8 people and turned out I had my own private driver and personal tour guide. This made such a difference, they went out of their way to ensure I had a great time. The guide was so knowledgeable about Egypt and make all the difference in the museum as it made things a lot more interesting and easier to understand. Big shoutout to Wael my guide for the day. Nothing was ever too much of an asked, even the 100 photos he took for me. Flight from Sharm to Cairo was easy, domestic flight so no huge queues. All in all would recommend this to anyone.

Fantastic trip to Cairo and the pyramids - An absolutely brilliant day. We were collected on time from our hotel, taken to the airport for our flight to Cairo. When we arrived we were greeted by our guide Ibrahim what a brilliant enthusiastic and knowledgable guide. It turned out we were the only two on the tour, so we were treated like VIP’s. Our driver was fantastic and I have to admire his patience and skill manoeuvring the Cairo traffic , the man was brilliant. Our day was spent visiting the pyramids , the sphinx , Cairo museum. After lunch, which is included in the price, we had a few other stop offs at a papyrus museum and a perfume shop, we ended the day with a trip down the Nile. Just being driven through Cairo is an experience itself and I highly recommend it. We were returned to the airport in plenty of time for our flight back to Sharm el Sheikh. I cannot express just how fantastic this day was, everything was perfect. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this a day to remember for the rest of our lives.

What an experience - thanks to our amazing guide Ahmed - The tour was very well organised and communicated well, our driver Khaled was great and our tour guide Ahmed Waheeb was amazing. He was so knowledgeable, informative (and not to mention a great personal photographer too) and he made our whole experience. We learnt so much more than expected! Lunch was ok, we also stopped at a papyrus and perfume shop which wasn’t listed on the itinerary. I did also start to feel incredibly unwell and Ahmed was very kind and hospitable throughout the day, he really made us feel at ease at every single stop and I’m so grateful he was our tour guide! Overall, the day was an incredible experience of Cairo and one that we truly recommend.

Best experience!!! - Myself and my boyfriend had the best experience with FTS Travels on our trip to the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo. We were collected promptly from our accommodation and dropped to the airport. At Cairo our driver was waiting for us. He had good A/C and refreshments on hand for us in a cooler in the car! Was definitely needed in the heat. There was no wait times for our driver throughout the duration of the tour, he was very prompt and ready to collect us after each stop! Our tour guide Ahmed Waheeb came along with us the whole way and was giving us a great insight to Cairo as we zoomed through the crazy roads of Cairo city. First we went to Khan el-Khalili (the famous market). We saw the small colourful streets filled with shops, cafes, restaurants etc. We then headed to the Egyptian Museum. Ahmed told us many interesting facts about the main pieces here. You could spend weeks in the museum here, there‘s A LOT to learn and see for your own eyes here which gratefully our guide did as much as he could with the time we had. After this we were on our way to the Pyramids! Just before we got there we stopped at a buffet restaurant for some lunch which was included in the tour. The food was very good. We then headed up to the Pyramids which were only a few hundred metres from the restaurant. It was crazy to see these live in the flesh and not just through pictures or in a book, we both could not believe our eyes. They are magnificent. Ahmed, our guide had a nice surprise for us too… His photography/videography skills! He captured sensational photos and videos of my boyfriend and I. He captured all of the memories for us! ( I have attatched some of these). We then got to see the Sphinx which was also truly magnificent, and Ahmed told us lots about the history of it and the location. After our few hours in Giza, we were headed back to the airport, we stopped for some shopping in a Papyrus and perfume shop. You don’t have to buy anything but it’s great to learn about. We were shown how the Papyrus is made, and got an Egyptian coffee in the perfume shop! That concluded our tour in Cairo and Giza, overall we had a fantastic day and fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend anyone who is visiting Egypt to do this tour to see the last existing Wonder of The World.

Brilliant trip with excellent tour guide and driver - Amazing trip with FTS travel and especially Mohamed and our driver who made the trip 10x better. Communication was good and they have been very helpful, our admin lady Heba has also been a dream to organise with and has been very helpful for the planning of the trip. We first went to the market in the morning which was a good choice as this is when it was not busy and we preferred this, a private boat cruise on the Nile, then onto the museum and lastly the pyramids and sphinx. Mohamed was very knowledgeable and told us so much more than we would’ve picked up on the information boards in the museum, we had a lot of free time to go around when we visited the different places and didn’t feel rushed. I also want to say that the driver was very helpful and polite, they both really made the trip that much more enjoyable! Cairo is a very busy city and this trip with a private car is the perfect way to enjoy Cairo as it can be quite overwhelming. We where hassled at the pyramids but this was expected, our tour guide Mohamed did all he could to make it as pleasant as possible and he took some really great pictures of us, and knew all the perfect places to get good photos. Overall we were really happy with the trip, Mohamed and the driver (which I can’t remember his name unfortunately!) are a testament to the company, thank you very much to both of them!
