A very good day

The National Egypt Museum was for me the highlight because of the history lesson we became through our guide Mohamed

Nice trip to Cairo

We really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful sunny day. It is definitely recommended. Seeing the Pyramids was a great experience.

Plagues of Egypt

A very long day, on a very uncomfortable bus, with not very nice staff, but that was not the problem, on arrival at the Cairo museum, we joined the hundreds of others in the push and shove to get in, so you can imagine what it was like inside, then probably the item most people go to see, ( King Tutankhamuns mask ) No Photos Allowed someones great idea. Working to a tight schedule which is impossible to take things in, we're given only 20mins. free time, just about time to get out. Next came the usual tour guide perks, perfume and river boat cruise, and then after "lunch" off for round 2 of the push and pull at the pyramids, well 2 of them, another perk, to take a horse and buggy up to the point where you can see all 3 in a line, free time now to find and photograph Sphinx but not enough time to get close, it's now off to another tour perk, Papyrus painting, but that's it, so now we head for home, but not before another perk, pick up members of another tour, jam them on the bus, just to make the long drive even longer. Think thats it, well no, come the time to be dropped of at our hotel, we're dropped off on the wrong side of the road, and while trying to dodge the traffic the tour bus just missed us, which just about sums up the type of company you'd be dealing with. So if you're thinking of going to Cairo, then the sights are definitely worth seeing, but not this way, and definitely not with this company. It's little more expensive, but if we were to do it again, we'd go by plane, more time to see the sites and take in the history, and a lot less travelling time.

Les 24 heures du Caire... ou antiquité... d'autobus !

LES FAITS 1h30 du matin Problème au départ. Je suis avec un groupe russe et un interprète pour le russe. L’accompagnateur me proposera en cours de route (pause ) de monter dans un autre bus, interprète sera en anglais. Je décline. Je ne vais pas mettre le bazar car je me dis qu'arrivé au Caire il y aura bien un autre troupe de la même compagnie (ce qui est le cas). Le bus : très ancien... Feu de croisement défaillant ! Le bus se traine en côte (60 kms/h). Problème de direction (à mon avis). Le bus tangue. Les chauffeurs font de leur mieux (je connais bien ce métier pour l'avoir pratiqué jeune). Il rattrape le jeu... mais on ne fait pas des miracle avec un vieux bus ! 10h30 Arrivé au musée. Changer de groupe pas possible. Je dois rester avec mon groupe. Au musée je trouve un groupe français avec le soutien de mon accompagnateur et le guide russe... Pour le programme : Le musée en 1 heure La balade sur le Nil : je n'ai pas de choix . Je ne vais pas attendre une heure dans le bus...1à euros en sus ! Pas de papyrus ! Un magasin de parfum... Pour le bizness ! Temps perdu Le repas moyen avalé à toute vitesse dans une vaste cohue ! Les pyramides en retard et pas de Sphinx ! Trop tard c'est fermé ! 18h00 Le retour : même conditions de route ! Arrivé à 1h30 du matin soit 24 heures et non 18 ! Bref : Ce type d'autobus n'a rien sur ce type de programme. En France : interdit de circuler ! Le chauffeur et l’accompagnateur ont fait de leur mieux. Mais on a trop trainé et fait des choses inutiles... Il fallait non seulement avoir le bon autobus et center sur l'essentiel. Le musée, les pyramides, le sphinx et surtout avoir un vrai autobus. Les 24 heures du Caire dont 18 en autobus !

Horrible bus, long ride; awesome Cairo

The bus to Cairo was horrible: it was small, crampy and dirty. It was advertised as luxorious but it wasn't. I really liked the day in Cairo: we had around an hour in the old museum, the buffet lunch was OK and the pyramids and Sfinx were great. We also had an "excursion" in parfume shop. All in all, I don't know if other companies have better busses - if they do, use them. I am happy that I had a visit in Cairo and next time I will go there by my own and also for couple of days.

Fantastic tour guide

Tour guide was fantastic, the transfers though were a bit of a pain. Getting picked up at 0220am only to sit on a roundabout waiting to swap coaches until 4am. All in all though, a great day out

Unforgettable experience

Unforgettable experience, the journey is long but worth it. Our Francophone guide Aziz was excellent, we were lucky to have it only for ourselves because we were the only French. The guide will meet you in Cairo. The museum is really interesting, and the final bouquet the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, extraordinary! The buffet is not very good, place not very clean but they are details. The boat tour on the Nile is not necessary, too expensive for what it is but the alternative is to wait in the bus 20-30 minutes. To conclude, I think you should be lucky enough to have a good guide, thanks to Aziz we saw and learned the maximum in a very limited time.

Memorable introduction to Cairo by a fantastic guide!

We recently took the bus tour from Hurghada to Cairo, and overall, it was a great experience. The bus ride itself was decent—comfortable enough, but it can be a bit challenging for those who have trouble sleeping while traveling. However, for the price, it was absolutely worth it. The highlight of the trip was our guide, Hanan. She was absolutely wonderful! She provided us with so much interesting information throughout the tour and made the entire experience feel enriching and engaging. She was also incredibly helpful, especially when my wife and I decided to go inside the pyramid—she went above and beyond to assist us. This tour is perfect for anyone wanting to experience the iconic pyramids, the Sphinx, and get a quick but memorable introduction to Cairo. Highly recommended!

Décevant

Excursion décevante Église et mosquée non comprises dans l’excursion, perte de temps, nous n’avons pas pu rentrer au grand sphinx, photos de loin. Au musée, pas d’écouteurs car trop de monde, visite express… Restaurant, nous avons mangé sur le pouce en 15 minutes, la nourriture immangeable, dessert une orange et viande 4 de chaque pour 6 personnes. La guide russe monopolisait tous les commentaires dans le bus. Pas d’organisation! les organisateurs et les guides toujours en conflit. Vraiment décevant cette excursion pour le prix payé.😡😡🤬🤬
