Fuyez !!!!
A fuir !!!! Visites à toute vitesse bâclées pour nous emmener dans des boutiques pièges à touristes qui vendent des articles semblables à ceux présents sur Amazon. Pris pour des pigeons toute la journée, pour couronner le tout le guide nous plante dans le caire car nous n avons pas voulu lui donner 1 pourboire à issue de cette journée d'horreur dans laquelle nous avons payé une excursion hors de prix au final avec le rajout des boissons ( eau, petit déjeuner, balade sur le nil) prix de revient à plus de 100 euros par personne et cela sans avoir céder au harcèlement pour acheter leur babioles dans les boutiques partenaires, un véritable scandale !!!!!!!!!!

The croc on the Nile
The tour of Cairo was fantastic and the tour guide Sirwhat made it an experience that will be unforgettable. Only downfall was the long journey on the coach but that was expected but the thing that needs improving is hygiene in terms of toilet cleanliness.

Enjoyable unforgettable trip with drawbacks
Me and my girlfriend went for this trip and we have a great time visiting cario, the only thing I would warn others is toilets, No toilet paper on bus which we was aware of and the halfway stop the toilets were shambles, mess in women's and males. On our way to cario we stopped in the museum which I felt was rushed we didn't have time to look at the gift store or have a look around our selfs due to the guide telling us we needed to go, after the museum we went down the Nile on boat, we had a great time here with music and dancing. Our guide Jamie took some great photos of us to add to our memories which we were happy with. From there we went and had lunch which wasn't great the food in Egypt as a whole isn't the best but this was a small restaurant not much room and the toilets wasn't great either there was a women and boy trying to sell toilet paper at sink (both female and male toilets). We eaten what we could and left from here to the pyramids Which was the highlight to the trip ofcourse but we felt our pyramid experience was rushed and we didn't spend enough time here if we was to go back we would go in on our own back to fully experience the area as it was rushed front start to finish. We went to 2 shops after the pyramids and I felt if we didn't waste time in those shops that none of us had interest in we could of spent more time at the pyramids. Overall the trip was great our guide Jamie was great he made our time very enjoyable besides the minor draw backs of rushing etc. Also the traveling distance was very long we had a tyre blow out on the way back to sharm el sheikh which delayed us a couple hours we left our hotel around 00:15 and returned 5am following day total of 29 hours a very very long day I recommend people to fly over the bus worth paying the extra.

Very good but long
Very good trip with an excellent tour guide, felt very safe on the long journey as a convoy with the police. Only things I would change is not going to the papyrus or perfume shop and spending more time at the pyramids. Also make sure the bus driver checks the tyres before taking off so we don’t get stuck for 2 hours! Top tip bring toilet roll and hand sanitizer

Lengthy tiring trip but worth it!
This trip was very exhausting and uncomfortable but given the value for money its worth it. The coach picked us up at midnight and around 2am I realised the Air-con had been switched off it was about 30+ degrees many of us was struggling to cope with the heat so I went to the front of the bus and complained and they soon pulled over and put it back on but shouldn't have gotten to that point really. The coach was completely filled so solo travellers be prepared to sit next to someone else for 10+ hours. The English passengers (5 of us) got split into a seperate group with a English speaking tour guide for the museum, pyramids, spinx and nile trip which was good 'Sarwat' was a great guide and gave us lots of interesting and useful information. He also took us to a perfume shop and papyrus art shop as added extra stops which was nice. The pyramids and spinx were amazing. Be prepared for extra costs around every corner. Extra £10 each for the nile trip, drinks not included at the lunch stop, also the pyramids you have to pay extra if you want to see all 9 from a distance. GET YOUR CAIRO VISA BEFORE THIS TRIP. It was such a faff sorting it out on the day and costed us extra to sort through the company. Take own loo roll. Don't recommend for children or those with health issues. I'm a healthy 23 year old women and my legs and feet swelled up so so bad from 20 hours of sitting I was in agony. But Egypt is safe to travel to guys :)

A long journey, but 100% worth it
First of all, it is a very long bus journey both ways - you'll be shattered the next day- but it's 100% worth it. This was the highlight of our trip to Sharm El Sheikh. When you arrive at the Egyptian museum in Cairo, you're split up by languages. Our English guide Sarmad was excellent. He had excellent English and made the whole experience engaging and enjoyable. He really cared about his group and learnt all our names, teaching us about the common scams to avoid around the pyramids.
Seeing the pyramids and the Egyptian museum are a bucket list experience and was overall a great day.
Tip: make sure you get up and walk during the bus journey as we both ended up with lots of pain in our legs due to fluid build up

Wonderful landscapes
Group of 9 people who have been to Cairo by bus, the experience of being on the spot live the atmosphere of these historic places is indescribable magical, only one note I have to make the trip is endless but not because of the tour operator but because of all the controls that there are along the way left at 1.30 am arrived at 10.30 am, return departure h18 arrived at 4.00 am. you could also close your eyes given the spectacle that we lived only if the bus was a great comfortable silent tourism, and instead we found ourselves in a bus all dirty with fan always at maximum for the whole trip, air conditioning at most the seats very narrow rudeness and disrespect of other tourists, of other nationalities 'that have not the slightest respect of those behind , swollen feet pain the back pain, impossible to face such a long trip in this situation, without being able to rest close your eyes for at least a few hours, maybe better to fill not all the seats and leave passengers a little more 'comfy, then the wonderful guide kind patient attentive to all our needs, but the transport bad! Our second excursion was to the beautiful Blue Hole with motorized camel and jeep safari... beautiful we had a lot of fun and the views are postcard like in a movie. He always drives with us, ottimo.il his Italian, we had a wonderful day. Great prices very advantageous!!!

Great trip to Cairo/Giza
We did this trip on 28th Sept. The journey over night is very LONG so prepare yourself for an overnight full bus. We luckily sleep for the majority of it so woke up as we were heading into Cairo. It took about 8hrs on the way there & 9hrs on the way back. The trip round Cairo itself was excellent. My girlfriend & I were given a tour guide for the day called Mohammed who was brilliant. He took us round the museum, on a nile boat trip (extra £10), to a papyrus shop, oils shop, the pyramids, the sphinx. He was very funny and knowledgable! I'd recommend this as it's such good value for money.

What a sham ladies and gentlemen
SCAM assured!
Before I begin with my papyrus here is the preface of my experience.
I'll start by asking the agency, as they were willing to do that, if I can get my girlfriend a visa. You can do that, how nice. For the price of 30€? All right, come on, so what, 600 L.E.? They say okay. The guy arrives with a monstrous delay who asks me for 30 €, I tell him with a nice smile that I am ready to give him 600 L.E.. It remains there, motionless, exchange of glances, impassive as a mummy. He knew nothing. The boy who came on purpose knew nothing about the exchange of views with the agency that took place earlier. Nothing to do with 600 L.E. nun se po ago. Deal 660 L.E., I'm a little twitchy but all right, come on, we're on vacation, let's relax.
I write to the agency this, I attach photos of their answer which is "they bring you, not us" as to say we did ours because it's up to you. As if to prove ours we did it wrong (but hey, you're on vacation, relax) mo come on don't make a fuss so much at most ruin the day for you not us.
Quiet trip on the bus (quiet except for the return the driver hit a wall, but it's okay, it happens, let's turn a blind eye, because, as I said before, we are on vacation)
1st Stage Egyptian Museum: Watchwords "make it quick." This translates into a visit to the Egyptian museum lasting not even 30 minutes where we saw very little and quickly. Bottom line, we saw practically nothing.
2nd Lunch Stage: We refused to spend 20€ each to get to the restaurant with a boat in the Nile (those who went there were disgruntled, not advised). Buffet restaurant that did not include even a glass of water, only almost edible food. Obviously here we had to wait 1 hour who had decided to arrive via Rijeka when we could stay longer in the museum.
3rd Stage Papyrus Museum: let us draw a pitiful veil. It's just any store where they explain for 5 minutes how to make a papyrus and then try to sell you any. We stayed an hour here.
4th Pyramids Stage: wonderful! We also purchased the camel walk from the 3rd to the 2nd pyramid (I recommend doing so, not from the 2nd to the 3rd) with a lot of beautiful photos at a cost of 700 L.E. in total.
5th stop Oil Shop: here too we stayed an hour. What about ladies and gentlemen, any oil and perfume store.
Return trip with stop at a local fast food restaurant around 11pm
Why do I say it's SCAM then?
Because the stops and the trip are perfectly organized to try to draw as much money as possible from the customer. We have wasted hours and hours in useless shops that are everywhere that are blatantly friends or people taking percentage. Hours that we could use to stay in the Egyptian Museum for example (but useless for them of course because if you spend money they do not arrive in their pockets)
I do not recommend relying on this agency at least for this excursion, there are other better ones.
