Adventures in Cairo
One of the best trips I’ve ever been to.
The coach ride wasn’t the best but Cairo compensated for all the hardships- The Egyptian Museum with all the antiquities- The restaurant with beautiful view on the pyramids - the Papyrus Shop with amazing pictures- The camel ride at the Giza pyramids- the fantastic boat trip on the Nile and the perfume shop.
Our tour guide GEMEL was the best - thanks a lot!!!

Day Trip to Cairo - Bloody fantastic!! (16th August 2022)
What an absolute fantastic day! This trip is brilliant! The coach journey is long, but it’s totally worth it!!! Sarwat was our guide for the whole day and he was funny, brilliant and a very nice gentleman. His knowledge is outstanding! He tells everything like a story and hooks your interest from the second he starts talking. The tour around the Museum was excellent, and we even had 40 mins to explore on our own as well - which we used to see the Tutankhamen exhibit. Then we had a lovely boat ride on the River Nile and Sarwat had no problem taking pictures of me and my wife at the front of the boat with the view. Then we went to the Pyramids, and WOW!! They are everything you expect and more!! On site Sarwat stayed with us, again giving us some more fantastic information and he also made sure we did get caught out of any of the “tricks” from people trying to sell you items. Myself and my wife had a beautiful horse and cart trip and were able to take some brilliant photos of the 9 Pyramids. It was just fantastic!!!
Finally the Sphinx! Again just wow!!!! You will truly be in awe of the fantastic monuments that were built 3000+ years ago!!
This trip was part of our honeymoon and the team certainly made it very special! Thank you to everyone and BIG THANKS TO SARWAT! All the guides were fantastic, but if you are with Sarwat you will most certainly have a fantastic day and learn lots!

Cairo - Pyramids all top --- Local guide a FLOP
Hello everyone,
I wrote a review a few days ago about our day trip to Cairo and the Pyraminds. The rating was a 2 out of 6 possible stars.
I'd like to revisit it here, because with the 2 stars I'm doing the MA of the tour company wrong. They have done everything to make the trip as pleasant as possible. The reason I had only awarded 2 stars is due to the fact that we had a guidebook in Cairo "ATEF" that wanted to pull us over the table from the very first moment. He wasn't even interested in telling us about his country's culture or history for a second. Rather, he was busy selling us any unnecessary activities.
The tour company was even willing to reimburse 50% of the costs afterwards, but I refused.
In summary, if the guide seems dubious to you, then immediately object and contact the tour company. They'll help you.
In my case, I had a migraine attack and could not defend myself on the spot. I just let it get to me.

The BEST. way to experiment Cairo and Giza.
An excellent trip. Definitely recommend! If you go request Sarwat as your guide. He was very knowledgable and friendly

Not wat we expected
The piramids were great. The museum tour was not needed as we did nog see anything special, and the waiting line was too long. The tour guide was not good… went very quick past anything. The only thing hè really took his time for was the explanation of the Islam, which has nothing to do with the pyramids. We did not ask for this.

Great tour Guide Sarwat
Fantastic company very attentive and keeps you informed before and during your holiday and they want your true thoughts and feedback, recommend 100% and our tour guide Sarwat deserves a pay rise and massive bouns. EGYPT IS SAFE to visit.

Great tour guide
What an amazing day with our tour guide Sarwat educated proffessial tour guide we were very luck to have him take our tour very passionate and diverse explained everything in full in an fun and interesting way very engaging and approachable made sure we were safe and looked after making sure we understood local customs and made sure we got value for money on gifts and souvenirs he made sure we got the best price and we did spend at lot of money as the price was so good and he tailored the tour to what we wanted to see this tour guide made our holiday to egypt complete and turned around the horrendous cramped coach journey to Cairo around and made me a very happy customer he deserves a pay rise and a big bouns. We seen so much on this trip the Old Egyptian Musem and the extensive pecies they had was amazing the bedouin oil fragrance shop we were treated like VIP and got an offer 4 large bottles for £300 it was worth every penny the smell has retained now we are home and it works just like in the shop looking on amazon we got a better deal in egypt at the shop our tour guide reccomend. The meal was the best meal of the whole time in egypt and the back drop out the large windows were the pyramids. Perfect lunch after lunch we went to the first pyramids and move to 3 separate stops Sarwat went in to great details and answered all our questions in full. He organised a horse and cart ride which was good priced and so much fun he made sure the man who took us got photos of the 7 pyramids back drop and he ride was amazing he advised to let him know if any issues arise and not to give money out unless he was around as he would not let us get ripped off we had total trust in Sarwat and he made sure we were looked after we visited a shop and he made sure we got a welcome gift from the stall holder and he brought 2 items we really likes which were hand made in egypt and we got extra presents as well from the stall holder. We saw the sphinx and walked around the area we seen so much Sarwat arranged a view of a traditional papyrus shop where we were shown in detail how papyrus was made and treated very well showing us different art works we bought 7 pieces from there and even got prices thrown in for free with free writing on 2 of them it was a fun experience and I would do this trip again and hope we get Sarwat I would not do the coach bit again due to issues which were sorted out on the return leg but would fly. Egypt is safe it is a must to go.

A wonderful experience!
Wonderful agency, super professional who helped us with our excursions.
We made three excursions with them:
The first Cairo with the bus a bit tiring for the 9 hours out and the 9 hours back, but as soon as you get there you forget them because it is worth going there. The super new and controlled roads to Cairo we were escorted by a police car throughout the journey. Once there you will be entrusted to the Italian guide, ours was really kind and super prepared! You will see the Egyptian museum and if you want, you will take a ride on the Nile and then have lunch overlooking the pyramids. After lunch we witnessed the making of the papyri and then visited the pyramids and the sphinx.Then we return to Sharm!
The second excursion was to ras Mohammed also there we had a very nice but super scrupulous guide, he guided us to snorkel with fins, masks and life jacket and for those who could not swim he carried them with his life donut. After snorkeling we went to the magic lake and the gate of Allah, we visited the mangrove channel and the two rifts of the earth caused by the earthquake.
The third excursion was the quad bike ride in the desert, also with an Italian guide, we were able to see the sunset behind Mount Sinai and we met the children of the Bedouins (bring with you food, sweets and chocolate because they accept everything) you can touch your heart. Then we stopped in the Bedouin tent where we were offered tea. The final judgment is that the three excursions were all organized great! The agency is always present and ready to fulfill our every wish! The best in the area for quality, price and availability! Thank you, thank you and thank you again! You made us love Sharm! ❤️

Good customer service
Unfortunately the website don’t tell you that the trip might take longer due to security checks, so each way you might be travelling up to 9h. I had to cancel the trip due to that but the tour operator was super helpful and friendly and offered an alternative solution .
