Great value for money. Never had such a good trip before!

We had a fantastic trip to Cairo. After some email problems that Get Your Guide (recommended!!) solved, we went to Cairo for a day with a return plane ticket. Awesome!!! Pyramids museum, other snacks and the bazaar. A well-spoken guide. No hassle and hidden costs if you don't want them. Very worthwhile because everything was right!!!

Brilliant day out in Cairo ..highly recommend

This trip was very well organised and everything ran smoothly. As we were 5 hours away flying was a great option and very easy. We managed to cram lots into the day including the pyramids, the papyrus/ oil perfume shop with good information about these processes. We also visited a mosque and went on a boat ride. We had lunch at a local restaurant which was delicious. We also visited Cairo old town in the evening and a museum and market. It was a long day but well worth it to see these sights. Praise to FTS and the guide Ahmed who took into account what everyone wanted to see. Brilliant day!!

Perfect Day! 😊

The trip was absolutely amazing. Everything was organised so well. Our flight and transport was so smooth. Flight very short. Air conditioned comfortable mini van for getting around Cairo. Our tour guide Mohammed was excellent, informative, friendly and kept everything moving nicely. He was so patient to take our pictures also anytime we asked! Everything was arranged so that we hit each spot with minimal crowds. It was a perfect day. I would recommend Fts travels to anyone doing this strip or similar.

Incredible planning from start to finish!

Had the most INCREDIBLE day trip from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo. The planning and organisation from FTS was amazing from start to finish. Our tour guide Mo was super knowledgeable about ancient Egypt, and quite possibly one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met! He went out of his way to buy us a local falafel wrap (the best I’ve ever had). Our driver for the day Amir was also a wonderful human! The chats, the laughs and an amazing insight into Cairo from both Mo and Amir made our day wonderful. If you’re planning on doing a trip like this, go through FTS! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much!!!

Please read...Cairo trip heads up!

If you are in Egypt it is 100% worth seeing the sights in Cairo however be warned as on our trip although our guide was lovely I feel like he wasted too much of our time trying to sell us stuff ( papyrus shop, perfume place). I feel like this ate in to our time to see the actual sights! We only spent 40 mins in the Egyptian museum which I am really dissapointed with. Our guide was too busy taking us shopping! Just a heads up that there is an underlying pressure to 'buy' when they take you to the papyrus and perfume places. Our itinerary went straight out the window as soon as we sat in the car. Fair warning all...apart from that seeing the pyramids was magical. FYI you need to purchase an additional ticket to go inside the pyramid which is not included in the tour cost.
