A special trip to Cairo – worth a repeat!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and enjoyable trip!
My trip from Sharm el Sheikh to Cairo by bus was very organized and comfortable. The bus is clean and air-conditioned, and the seats are comfortable, making the long trip much easier.
The driver was a pro, and the stops during the flight were well thought out to give travelers a chance to rest. Once in Cairo, we started our tour by visiting the Egyptian museum, where we saw incredible ruins, then headed to the pyramids and Abu Hul, and the experience was memorable!
The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, giving us valuable information on every landmark we visited. Lunch was delicious and overlooking the Nile, adding a magical touch to the trip.
Overall, the experience was great and highly recommended to anyone who wants to visit Cairo in a convenient and budget-friendly way! Would definitely repeat again.

Beautiful experience
Fantastic experience, despite the many and tiring hours by bus, on our arrival we met Khaled, our guide, speaks very good Italian, was super professional and above all is a beautiful person. We had a really good time. Recommended (if you have no problem travelling by bus for several hours)

Unforgettable day
Very nice day in Cairo for the visit of the museum and the Gyseh plateau to see the pyramids.
1:30 for the museum visit, it's not enough, much too short.
Visiting the papyrus factory as well as the oil and perfume shop is useless, only commercial..!
Fortunately our guide Ahmed very nice for explanations in French.

Nice, but be prepared
The thing no one will tell you before the trip: at night you might most likely be taken from one bus to another. There is a great chaos happening with all these bus tours to Cairo. Be ready to have questions unanswered. Before you arrive to the museum in Cairo and meet your guide (who will accompany you for the rest of the tour day), you will be lost and not understand anything going on. Just be prepared.
The very excursion throughout a day is interesting, the guides are very open and nice. The buses are not comfortable for sleeping though. Be ready for this. Our tour was in February. At night it was very cold in the bus.
My advice is also to take some food with you apart from the one which your hotel will pack for you, as what they pack is mostly pastry and some juice/water. No vegetables, no yogurt, everything very dry.

Top organisation
That was great. Top organization with French-speaking guide. A luxury bus. Pick-up from the hotel. I would recommend Book Tour Egypt to everyone. Professional team

Unfortunately necessary to see Cairo. Maybe unlucky me on the bus
Required to see Cairo by sharm. Consider whether it is worth taking the plane because the journey is hard enough. If you find nice staff you might as well sleep. I had the misfortune to find the driver and bus driver talking loudly (screaming) , smoking inside the bus and keeping the windows open so noises and whistles. Very cold on the bus. Little respect for tourists. In my case. I wish you luck with your bus

Amazing trip with n English!
We really enjoyed the trip because our guide Fahmi was very good at organising things! We had a lovely panoramic photo with camels on the Pyramids! We went on a boat trip on the river Nile and Fahmi took a lot of funny photos and a beautiful video. As he said he was a professional photographer.
Also a big thank you to a guide on the bus and a bus driver for a smooth journey! Xxx

Visit to Cairo
My wife and Iwe were on a trip to Guiza where our guide was the wonderful Mahmoud. A very warm and friendly man who talk about the history of Egypt with such passion that everyone wants to listen to him. Mahmoud and the bus driver made our trip incredibly pleasant and took care of our comfort and well-being. I highly recommend him. Very good experience! Deffo i will come back

Nice experience
We went to cairo on 25th (wednesday) and in overall it was a very nice. We travelled with 3 small children (3yo,5yo and 7yo) the bus drive is long so have that in mind, however it was night as we got picked up around 00:30 and arrived to the main bus around 01:00 am so kids was sleeping untill 8 o'clock and by that time we was almost in cairo. There is a toilet and air conditioner in the bus, we also took some stops for toilet and brekfast. The staff was nice the only thing is that I feel like in Russian was given more info then in English (as a Polish person I could understand some parts and in English they were never mentioned, after all when we arrived to cairo our guide was speaking English).In Cairo we spend all day. We was moving fast from one activity to the other but they were trying to show us as much as they could.In museum everything was well explained and we had time to look around. Any questions we had our guide answered, he was very friendly and told us some facts about town as well when we drived from one thing to the other. In my opinion pyramids and museum is most interesting. If someone feel like they missed out on papyrus museum cause they went to the perfume shop insted - we visited both and I can tell you, in both they'll just try to sell you goods more then explaining how things are made. However the museum and shop visit was on the way anyway and we did not spend long time in there around 10 minutes. Then before pyramids we went to eat. It was a buffet type of restaurant. Friendly staff, local cuisine it was nice to try actually. The owner brought some chips for our kids as well and i think this was very kind of him a specially that my little girl is a fussy eater so that was thoughtful. On pyramids and Sphinx we spend over 2h and I am glad we had our guide with us as locals can be really hard to deal with and try to get money from you on every step, sell you something or make you pay for taking picture. I was really stressed at some point a specially with my little one not feeling well and every step I took someone was jumping out with random things. Our guide however instructed us before we got there and told us what can happen and how to deal with it, he did talked to them few times as well, once to allow us take a picture on the rock otherwisewe would need to pay I assume. He even offered to take a picture for us multiple times without asking for $$$ 😅 The experience is nice but as I said be ready for long bus drive each way minimum 8h and on the way back you'll be exhausted 😁

Everything perfect
Everything went great, the bus ride is long and the stops are many, but we had a free seat next door to be able to be comfortable. Our guide Al mohamed (Benedetto) was amazing, very nice and prepared. I recommend this experience to those who do not want to give up a day in Cairo but aware of the physical stress to be faced.
