The trip on the bus is already exhausting because of the road conditions - however, this should not be blamed on the organizer a
from the resort with pkw to the bus 6h and 2 breaks a 20min later in kairo handover to our first class tour guide just perfect

This company need to be reviewed
The trip was a very long trip however it stated on the 16-18 hrs so that’s fine you planning to stay in hurghada with children I’ll probably say the best way to travel to Cairo excursion is by plane!!! We got picked up at the hotel at 2am arrived in Cairo 10am 1st activity was the museum which was amazing and lovey the tour guide explained everything and gave plenty of time for everyone to explore around by themselves! It stated th bus have toilet which is completely untrue no toilet on the bus the stop in shops for people to use toilet and each stop charges you like £5 loool the 2nd stop was Nile city by boat you have to pay for this separately on site $10 per person child adults same price if you don’t want to do you can stay on the bus for 45mins so basically you won’t have a choice then to go on the boat, 3rd stop is lunch buffet style the food is nice and lovely however the queue is so long and you only get 45 mins so you may not finish lunch after spending 20 mins just in queue sad, 4th stop some perfum shop which basically not even on the tour guide so waste of time 5th time the pyramids amazing stop however because they spend unnecessary time at the perfum shop you will only have 30 mins 6th stop camel horses dinky rides make show you have atleast £5 with you as they will not allow you come off the horse donkey or camel rides until you give them a tip and the tour guide will not help even your trip is paid in full they will tell you and pressure you to give tip going back to the hotel is a nightmare as our driver disappeared for an hour we were stuck on the bus oooopssss!!! It was a good trip overall for adults if you travelling with children look for alternatives and make sure you have at least £100 with you even if the tour is paid in full you need money for toilet breaks, water other stupid attractions that the add ons good luck everyone in nit using this company next time

Uncomfortable trip never again
Good things were visiting pyramids and seeing sphinx also guide I think called Hanin and museum
Bad things were Big bus which made you feel like in a coffin with so little room in between seats especially when person in front of relaxed seat down was the most claustrophobic uncomfortable ride have ever had
Make sure your phone is charged for taking pictures as saying there is usb charging is untrue
90% of the time is taken up by picking up people at different hotels and visiting perfume place and papyrus picture shop which I assume is to earn commission on sales as they are waste of time
24 hours of feeling like a sardine is not good

A very long day but worth it to see the pyramids
As others have all said the coach trip was extremely long (8hrs there and 6hrs back) from hotel pick up to arrival in Cairo. There were very long stops at multiple check points. We had a police man on the coach and with us for the whole day, called Shariff he was very polite, friendly and made us feel safe.
Our guide for the day (forgot his name) had a good sense of humour and did a good job getting us to each site.
Cairo is an experience and our highlight was seeing the pyramids. There were optional extras but no pressure to join.
Our boat cruise on the Nile was fantastic, we had a friendly Albanian group with us who were playing music and dancing. We joined in and it made the boat experience 100times better.
The lunch buffet was ok. The Egyptian museum was rushed but we saw the main parts.
We chose a horse and carriage at the pyramids because we were told you wouldn’t have time to walk. You will have time because your coach will drive up halfway.
I managed to sleep on and off on the coach journey, but glad I did the trip at the start of my holiday so I could relax and catch up.
I would recommend this trip but be warned it’s an extremely long day.

Très mitigé
Notre avis est très mitigé.
Nous avons été pris en charge à 1h10 du matin pour une arrivée vers 9h au musée du Caire.
Il faisait froid dans le bus qui était inconfortable.
Nous avons fais la connaissance de notre guide, qui parle Francais.
La guide n’a pas arrêté de nous presser toute la journée, il fallait faire vite vite vite. Dans le musée si vous voulez faire des photos vous aller devoir vous échapper quelques minutes.
Nous avons perdu du temps au pyramides et au musée tout ça pour nous amener dans la fabrique de papyrus et dans une parfumerie.
La fabrique de papyrus et la parfumerie sont interessantes mais 10 mins suffisent on vous force à la consommation.
La guide incite également à la consommation pour nous vendre des bracelets soit disant en argent ou en or (fantaisies de mauvaises qualité) tout le long de la journée.
La balade sur le nil , noté comme facultatif dans la réservation est en fait obligatoire (si vous refusez de la faire, vous rester en bord de route dans le bus) elle est sympa mais ne vaut surement pas 10 euros chacun , de plus qu’elle ne dure que 20 minutes.
Le restaurant était bon mais attention toutes les boissons sont à vos frais (et non précise par la guide).Nous avons donc payé 4 euros pour deux petites bouteilles d’eau…
Une fois arrivée au pyramides on va encore vous demander de payer, cette fois ci pour faire un tour en calèche ou en chameau ( encore une fois 10 e par personne). Pour notre part nous avons refusé de la faire (la guide n’était pas contente de ce refus) , et avons pu faire malgré tout de très belles photos.
Nous adorons ramener des souvenirs mais il n’y a pas d arrêt souvenirs mis a part sur le coté des pyramides (ou le nombre de souvenir est restreint).
Peut être qu’avec une autre guide le voyage aurait été plus agréable.
Nous sommes ensuite reparti vers 16h30 pour une arrivée vers 22 h à Hurghada.
(Le trajet du matin est plus long que celui du soir).

Fantastic day trip to Cairo
The organisation of the trip was excellent and everything was made very easy for us. The tour guide was brilliant and made sure that we had a day filled with great memories of the pyramids, camels, sailing down the Nile, the oldest Mosque in Africa, Egyptian artefacts in the museum ( apologies on behalf of the British museum guys). Highly recommend! It’s a long way to drive in the coach but if you sleep fairly well like me then that is more than worth it!

Awesome Trip with very good Touguide :)
We got Hanen as our Tourguide for the day and she did an amazing job. Everything was very well organized and she gave a lot of information during our Trip. I can recommend her highly as a Tourguide. At each stop she gave a short briefing so that you knew what is going on.
