Fun - The tour was very entertaining. Camal and the other guides gave very relevant and friendly information. It was very good for Turkish tourists to bring a guide who speaks Turkish. If I came again, I would love to go on tour with the same team. If you go, say hello to this team.

Lovely Day with super guide! - We thought many times to book our tour to Cairo from sharm el sheikh. comparing between by plane or by bus. By plane extremely expensive. So we decided to do it by bus. The trip little bit long. But worth to do it. Our guide Ahmed was super helpful and very professional. He made our day different. Recommended!

Avoid this Tour operator - ETO it's called. - Firstly the pick-up time was advanced. Then they did not turn up and finally said, it was for the next day. I had to send them a screenshot to prove the date of the trip. They turned up to pick me up after a wait in the middle of the night about 90 minutes late, me standing outside the hotel on the road. Pathetic tour organisers. Then I remarked to the guide as to why another tour guide was with his group at the Carthage site explaining, and he let us go see the ruins on our own, he replied, that every guide has his ways. He was paid to explain to us the history of the objects. He went to sit at the small shop near the exit. Very rude answer and behaviour. Then the police escorts are a pain as they go to take hours either way and checkpoints in the same country??? Why, is Sharm el Sheikh not in Egypt that people need a visa to go to Cairo? My pick-up driver was not convinced that I had an E-Visa because the immigration officer kept the copy of my printed e-visa and said, he had made an entry in my passport…. Just written EV. It was difficult to convince and finally, they accepted. The lunch was the most pathetic, hard few pieces of thin chicken, and almost everyone on the bus that I spoke to said, it was the most pathetic meal they had had – and no drinks included, at least water could have been added for no cost. And now the cost, USD 74 odd for the hour journey each way, visit 3 places and rubbish lunch.

Take a flight instead! - We highly recommend paying for a flight instead of the bus it is the longest most uncomfortable ride I have ever been and my husband and I are over the road truck drivers so we are used to going the distance. The bus never came and picked us up. They went to the wrong hotel, and said that our hotel changed its name so they had a local person pick us up in their personal car by beeping their horn on the side of the road they didn’t even pull into our hotels so we could verify who they were. They drove like a bat out of hell to catch us up to the big bus when we arrived there were two seats on the big bus sitting together for my husband and I. This entire tour was also in multiple language, which would take away from the time you had to ask questions and made everything feel extremely rushed. The bathroom on the bus was disgusting to use and then after this almost 20 hour tour everyone that was on the bus smelled very bad themselves on the seven hour ride back multiple people kept their nose covered to try to make it. The locals harass you very bad and even after you pay for a camel ride or a horse and buggy ride, they tell you a three dollar tip is not enough and they usually get $20 American dollars as a tip the ride itself only cost $25 and they do not stop until they get the money they want at this point you are away from everyone else and only alone with them. It is extremely uncomfortable and I do not recommend doing any add-ons besides the $10 Nile boat tour.
