An absolute must..

Absolutely loved this trip. We had been before but our children were much younger then and could not remember the Pyramids ... so we went back again!! Very hot day but totally worth it. Picked up from the hotel and taken to Hurgarda airport. Flight to Cairo airport where we were met by our guide Mr Falcon. We went to the Pyramids and I have to admit that it has changed so much, it is more organised with proper roads and no more rubbish around the place. The 'sellers' are vetted by the government so there is not so much pestering as they could lose their licence to trade at the pyramids. There are horse, camel and carriage rides available and this is going to be an additional cost. - $10pp. We did not do this as it was enough to walk around the site and see things up close. We walked around the outside of the massive Pyramids and went into 2 tombs and these were free but you can pay for entry into one of the other bigger pyramids. - $15pp It is very very hot and stuffy in the tombs so be prepared! We then went by bus to the Sphinx and learnt lots about that and got some fantastic pictures. Next was a buffet lunch, which we were all really ready for as most had not had anything to eat at all. We then went to the new Cairo museum and this was again an additional cost - about $30pp but an absolute must as it is fantastic. Really need about 3 days to see around the whole thing but we managed to see all of the Tutenkhamun treasures... and it gives us an excuse to come back to Cairo again in the future. Then we went for a small sail down the Nile - $10pp before returning to the airport for the return journey. Very long and hot day but so glad that we did it. Bit upset that we ended up paying so much extra money on top of what GetYourGuide charged so check that you have included everything into your tickets when booking the trip in the first place... but lessons learnt. Take snacks with you as you never know what time you will get to go for lunch as this is totally dependant on other members of the group and what they are doing and how long it takes them.

Awesome visit to the pyramids

We went with Rasha for a fantastic day in Cairo, visiting the piramids of Giza and the Great Egyptian Museum. It was an awesome experience worth every penny.

Spent most of the day in the airport and paid extra so many times

Booked on the 4am flight from Sharm. Problems from getting there. Wrong tickets were ordered through this company for the museum.. had to pay extra. Was dropped off at numerous places... felt pushed to purchase goods from so many different stores. Dropped back off at the airport at 3pm. Flight back to Sharm was at 10pm. Overall would have booked elsewhere if we had known. Spent a fortune and feel thoroughly ripped off.

A good trip

Nour is a very experienced guide and the whole tour experience was very good. We especially enjoyed his kindness, caring thoughtful attitude, Especially his great sense of humour. He has given us wonderful day! Everyone should see the Pyramids once in their lives and the new Grand Egyptian Museum is simply stunning. We did get to visit the perfume shop and the papyrus shop but they were not hard sells and the coffee in the perfume shop was quite good. I have dealt with FTS before and this years experience was as good as last time and I’ll be using them again for future Egyptian tours.

Thank you Nour! What a great day

I booked this trip with my boyfriend as a nice break away from our hotel in Sharm el Sheikh. Nour looked after us for the day and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He even took lots of photos of us at each attraction making sure we captured each moment for our memory books. This was a nice added touch and really appreciated! He also answered our fifty million questions and was a great guide. Highly recommend and will definitely reach out to him when we come back to Egypt for more trips!

We did the one day tour...

We did the one day tour to Cairo from Sharm. Fantastic communication, transfer service, and tour. Hema was an encyclopedia of knowledge and I was blown away with how thorough he was with Egyptian history. 10/10 would recommend
