Incredible once in a lifetime trip
Amazing trip and our guide (Italian and English speaking) Ahmed was incredible and very knowledgable. The bus journey was long but the trip itself makes up for it, there were regular stops for refreshment and bathroom breaks. Cairo is a busy city but you feel safe and the attractions are incredible. Definitely value for money and would love to book with the agent again for Luxor in the future

Cairo Day Trip
What a fantastic trip and a lovely experience. I was fairly apprehensive as a solo travel venturing out of my resort but needn't had worried. I had my very own personal guide 'Big Ahmed' and driver who were very welcoming and went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable in their presence.
Ahmed is extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to provide me with a comprehensive insight into all things great and the history of Egypt. Highly recommend this excursion!

A long but well worth doing experience.
A well worthwhile trip, a busy packed in lots to see once in Cairo. Our English speaking tour guide Fahme was excellent and very accommodating. The bus trip to Cairo was a bit disjointed with alot of waiting around, without a lot of updates. Overall a very good experience and would recommend doing.

Great tour
The trip by bus was very long but we expected that, the bus had air-conditioning and chairs reclined so couldn't complain too much. We had a small private tour with Fahme who was very knowledgeable and spoke good English, he made the tour great, took pics and showed us the sites and where to buy quality souvenirs without getting ripped off. I would highly recommend the trip with private tour guide although the journey by bus is very long expect to be gone at least 24 hours altogether.

Indimenticabile
Tutto organizzato benissimo,
Guida preparata , nessun momento morto…
Sicuramente è impegnativo perché ci vogliono molte ore in bus (che comunque è comodo),
Ma ne vale davvero la pena!

Excelente
El autobús es cómodo.
¡El guía Ahmed fue por excelencia!
No solo le apasiona el tema, sino que también nos ayudó a negociar buenas ofertas de compras.
Hay paradas intermedias para mayor comodidad, etc.
Éramos seis angloparlantes en una multitud mixta de ruso y bielorruso, ¡pero recibimos nuestra propia guía personalizada una vez que llegamos a El Cairo!

Esperienza che consiglio!
Escursione molto bella, piramidi assolutamente da vedere. Viaggio in bus stancante ma fattibile, ne vale la pena. La nostra guida Aziz è stata molto brava e disponibile (spero possa venire in Italia un giorno 🤞🏻)

Excursión de un día a El Cairo y las pirámides.
El recorrido fue absolutamente brillante desde la recogida hasta la entrega. Nuestro guía turístico Fahmed fue increíble e hizo que el recorrido fuera aún mejor al agregar su toque personal a nuestro viaje. Explica con gran detalle todos los lugares que visitamos con mucho conocimiento sobre la cultura. Un día realmente increíble.

Bad nights but great day.
Mixed emotions about this trip and will write with total honesty. Starting with the night journey to Cairo on the convoy bus. The bus arrived at 1:30 am and emptied with the previous people who had been to Cairo the day before. We then borded straight after, which ment the toilet had not been emptied from the previous customers. It smelt awful and was unusable. We did stop at a service station but the toilets there were not really any better. I was travelling with children and an elderly parent and this was not good. The driver also chained smoked the whole way there while driving and the smell and smoke started to effect me. When we arrived in Cairo we we split into a small group of 11 people for the English tour. This was really good! Our guide was Femi and he looked after my elderly mother, providing places for her to sit and getting the shuttle bus to come to her so she did not have to walk far.
Cairo is not really that accessible for disabled or elderly people so please bear this in mind. There are lots of steps and hills at the attractions. However, Femi tried his best and we really appreciated that. He was very good at taking photos and gave great information. He even provided pop and ice cream for the kids at no extra charge. He arranged for the horse and cart for my mom and the kids to have a camel the price was £20 which we thought was great. The night return journey was just as bad if not worse than going because we were tired and the toilet had still not been emptied. We arrived back at the hotel around 2:30 am.
The day in Cairo was really good would recommend that to anyone but going by bus you need to be prepared for a really long drive 8-9 hours because of the check points and the convoy is police escorted and this takes time. However, I appreciated the security of the police being there and understood the reasons why we had to wait at times. If your on a budget, young and don't mind roughing it then you will be fine but you might be better flying.
