Amazing day trip to Cairo!
We were picked up from our hotel by a small mini van at 12:30am, which then dropped us off at a meeting point. We boarded onto a coach, which had a toilet (no tissue paper or hand soap be warned!) but air con was working perfectly, with some rude passengers who had their seats all the way down, however, the driver soon resolved this for us. Be prepared for a long and arduous journey, with a packed coach full of passengers. The journey took 8 hours there, with several check points and only one break midway, but took slightly longer returning back (9 hours). We were separated into our own tour groups based on language where we were greeted by a fantastic tour guide who accompanied us the whole day (from 10am-6pm). The museum was spectacular (but hot) be prepared to only spend around 1.5-2 hours inside, as it is a large extensive place. We then chose to book a river Nile boat tour at an extra cost, which lasted around 20 minutes. Lunch was included at a restaurant which was average. We then visited the pyramids and the sphinx which was the highlight! I would suggest to bring snacks throughout the day, toilet paper and hand soap and to book this tour for a Friday (like we did) where there is far less traffic and congestion!

Sharm El sheik - Cairo in bus
Qualità prezzo ottimo rispetto alla massa ed altre agenzie che propongono il viaggio per El cairo in aereo anche a 250€ a persona
Viaggio lungo in bus ma durante gli orari delle
Partenze di andata e ritorno visto l ora si dorme.
Guida in italiano ok perfetta, professionale e anche molto simpatica .
Dopo la visita al museo egizio ci hanno proposto un giro sul Nilo , molto piacevole per 10€ a persone . (prezzo trattato ovviamente)
Il Cibo scarso di qualità . Pranzo a buffet in un posto locale di Giza vicino le piramidi
(unica pecca da segnalare ) : abbiamo trovato capelli nel cibo
Piramidi spettacolari non ci sono parole
Consiglierei l’esperienza 😁

Amazing but long trip
A great trip. Everything smoothly and on time. Great guide named Sarwad (I think). Everything except the trip on the Nile is paid. A very good dinner. The only drawback is a very long and tiring journey that lasted nearly 10 hours one way and over 11 hours the other way. But it's worth it to endure so much! I definitely recommend it! This trip was the best day of our visit to Egypt.

Schöner, anstrengender Trip
Wir waren alles in allem sehr zufrieden mit dem Trip. Zunächst sollte man wissen, dass man ein ZUSÄTZLICHES Visum zur Reise von Sharm el Sheikh nach Cairo benötigt. Dieses wird in den Reisepass eingeklebt und kostet 25€ am Flughafen, falls man dies nicht hat, konnte man das über Book-Tour-Egypt noch buchen für 30€.
Wir wurden um 00:00 Uhr abgeholt und fuhren dann mit einem Stopp an einer Raststätte ca 9 Stunden nach Cairo. Der Reisebus war klimatisiert. Anschliessend waren wir am Vormittag im Museum. Dort trafen wir ubs mit unserer deutschsprachigen Tourguide (Manal). Sie wusste sehr viel über die ägyptische Geschichte und ihr deutsch war fabelhaft. Sie hat uns ebenfalls sehr viel über das Leben in Ägypten mitgeteilt und uns gesagt wo wir aufpassen mussten. Danach hatte man die Möglichkeit eine Niltour für 10€ zu machen auf einem Boot. Dies war nett, jedoch nicht unbedingt sehr spektakulär.
Wir fuhren anschliessend zu einem Restaurant vor den Pyramiden. Das Buffet war inklusiv, jedoch zahlte man für ein Getränk 60 EGP (was 6x so teuer ist wie normalerweise für ein Wasser). Anschliessend fuhren wir zu den Pyramiden. Dort wurde uns ein Kamelritt empfohlen für 10€ p.P. Die Fotos hiervon waren super. Jedoch waren die Beduinen sehr fordernd was Trinkgeld anging und wollten grössere Noten aus dem Portemonnaie haben. Idealerweise nur wenige kleine Noten ersichtlich haben. Ebenfalls sollte man wissen, dass alle Personen, welche Fotos von einem machen wollten auf Trinkgeld aus sind. Anschliessend hatten wir etwas Zeit für die Pyramiden und die Sphynx. Danach hielten wir bei einen Parfümladen in der Nähe. Hier verkaufte man Parfüme und Cremen SEHR teuer. Nach dem Kauf bemerkte man jedoch, dass die gekauften Ölparfüm sehr verdünnt sind und daher nicht lange so riechen wie im Laden. Ich empfehle keinen Kauf in diesem Laden. Anschliessend schauten wir uns Papyrus noch an in einem weiteren Laden und machten uns auf den Rückweg.
Alles in allem ein sehr spannender Tag. Die Reise war jedoch sehr lange und wir waren unglaublich froh wieder im Hotel angelangt zu sein.
PS: wir hatten unser Portemonnaie im Bus vergessen und das Büro hat uns bei allem geholfen und alles organisiert, dass wir es wieder holen konnten. Ebenfalls fehlte nichts drinnen!

Il Cairo
Per la 4 volta ritorno a Il Cairo sempre con book tour egypt... e per l'ennesima volta non si sono smentiti... serietà ... puntualità ... i prezzi più bassi del mercato ma non perché son bassi la qualità e scarsa anzi è ottima e le visite non sono ridotte ... per la seconda volta ho incontrato la guida Karam ... ottima guida parlante italiano simpaticissima e preparatissimo... affidatevi a loro prezzi top e qualità super top

Agenzia seria
Bella esperienza. Sono davvero puntuali e seri. La nostra guida Mohammed Salem che abbiamo incontrato una volta arrivati al Cairo, rimarrà sempre nei nostri cuori, gentilissimo, preparato, serio, una persona davvero stupenda e poi parlava perfettamente in italiano ! Il viaggio è un po’ stressante, sono molte ore in pullman infatti consiglierei sempre di andare con l’aereo … ma è soggettiva come cosa… Abbiamo visitato il museo egizio, poi giro al Nilo, pranzo con vista piramidi di Giza e infine visita alle piramidi e sfinge !

It was painfully disappointing experience, the best bits was seeing the museum and the pyramids which we paid for twice
We were on time to get the bus, got to the coach, the people on the bus didn’t want to make space.
They had their bags on the seats, pillows on their seats and didn’t want to sit next to their friends and family.
The guide that was making sure we had our visa wasn’t professional, he didn’t speak English rarely to us. He explained in Arabic what was happening to the group but what about the English people you offered an English guide for. He didn’t ensure the seats were available for the additional guests,
The journey was supposed to be 8-9 hours which ended up being 11/12 hours. The stop offs were supposed to be 20mins but again ended up being 45minutes there waiting for rest room break and cigarette breaks.
During the bus journey we had no seatbelts and the chairs where loose. This was a big health and safety concern for me and my children. When the bus pressed the brakes the seats slid forward with us in them. These are the seats at the very back of the bus. I have video evidence of this. The seat could be picked up if I wanted to.
We first got to the museums has far as I am aware we already paid for everything the only thing that need to be paid for was the Nile river boat ride and that too was not up to standards. We were constantly waiting around and the guide seem like he was having a heated discussion with the boat drivers. The lunch was atrocious and we didn’t eat from being picked up at 00:00 and then having lunch at 13:00. We had to o serve ourselves and the flies where just hovering around the food which wasn’t very hygienic.
We paid for the entrance into the museums, we paid for additional services which we wasn’t informed about. I feel as if this is a scam tourists.
We basically paid for a bus ride with racist travellers and the guide on the bus couldn’t speak English or chose not to maybe due to racism. We were on the bus and the guide who counts and makes sure everyone is on the bus. Didn’t explain what was happening why we stopped. It is 3 am and the driver is unaware about his drop off points.
We now ended up stopping at the wrong hotels on the way back for no reason as this is unprofessional people trying to run a business.
