Amazing day trip to Cairo & great value
Well organised trip that is great value - a must do if you’re staying in Sharm. I highly recommend it!
Got picked up about 4am and taken to the airport (note that if you haven’t already purchased a visa then you will need one before you fly) short 1 hour flight to Cairo where we met our driver (Mohammed) and guide for the day (Ahmed). We also met the rest of our group which was only 7 of us in total so a nice group size.
First stop was pyramids which were amazing, might be one of the best things I’ve ever seen and would recommend going just to see these!
Ahmed was great in explaining the history and construction and we had a good few hours to explore these. You have the opportunity here to do a camel ride for an extra charge if you’re interested.
Next stop was the oils/essence experience. Here you are shown different types of essences and then given the opportunity to buy these. Personally I could have done without this but others on the trip purchased some items so maybe just a personal taste
After this we went to lunch which by that point was well needed! The food wasn’t that great but we were so hungry we just made do.
After this we went to a papyrus shop - this time no one in our group bought anything so not sure if this is for everyone.
After the shop we headed to the museum which was really interesting. Best part was Tutankhamen room although bear in mind you’re not allowed to take photos in this room!
Next was Nile cruise which is also an additional charge - this part was nice and relaxing after what had already been a long day by this point, personally I’d of liked this to be longer.
Finally we were driven the old town and Ahmed took us exploring the narrow and very busy streets! This was a great part of the day but
could be a bit stressful for anyone who doesn’t like large crowds.
We were then taken to the airport and we were grateful for our driver to stop at McDonald’s on the way back so that we could have some dinner!
Arrived back at our hotel around 11:30pm, so a realllllly long day (about 20 hours) but a really great day nonetheless.
Overall I’d definitely recommend this trip, just be wary of how long of a day it is. Make sure to bring spending money as you will need it if you want to do the camel ride/nile cruise etc.
I think there are some parts that could be taken out/shortened to make the day shorter but that might just be my personal taste.
My final tip is to definitely book via Book Tour Egypt vs Tui as it’s several hundred pounds cheaper!! Ahmed was excellent throughout the day and kept up his energy and enthusiasm even whilst he was fasting. He was also good in keeping sellers/beggers away from the group so we felt very safe with him.

Organised trip. Good value.
Well organised trip. Good communication from the operator.
Flights on time.
Great to have everything organised prior with entrance fees included to main attractions.
Food lovely on the trip.
Extras to pay for are the camels & the Nile cruise. These are optional but would definitely recommend.
Only negatives were the oil factory & papyrus. If you're into that then it's interesting.
I would have preferred a longer cruise on the Nile instead.

Amazing
Booked the two tour with overnight accommodation and what a tour!
Excellent and prompt communication whilst booking which was reflected with on time pick up and drop off. Everything clearly communicated and ran like clock work.
Khalid and Schumacher (our driver) were both friendly, kind, respectful and knowledgeable.
Allowed us to savour all of Cairo’s beauty, charm and landmarks in two days.
Highlight was obviously The Great Pyramid of Giza but we were also able to visit the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum.
Came away with an amazing amount of knowledge which we would not have been able to gather on our own.
I loved that we were able to experience a taster of Cairo via the River Nile, visiting the mosque. Hanging church and market.
We left Cairo with a full belly and full heart.
Highly recommend the two day tour.
Thank you for organising an unforgettable tour.

Facile, le transport...
Tout facile, le transport et le guide est sympathique. Excursions bien faites. Couvert tout ce qui est mentionné lors de la réservation. Vous pouvez faire en solo c'est sûr.

Journée incroyable
Du début à la fin de la journée a été extrêmement bien organisée. Nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité et très bien informés par notre guide extrêmement compétent qui s'est assuré que nous avons vu tous les points forts et avons eu la meilleure expérience possible. Notre chauffeur était toujours exactement où nous avions besoin de lui et nous avons fait plusieurs arrêts pour manger et boire chaque fois que nous avions besoin. Le Caire est un endroit fou, et nous nous sommes beaucoup enfoncés dans notre journée, mais l'expérience semblait facile et directe. Mes deux enfants ( 12 et 16 ans ) ont vraiment apprécié la journée et mon mari a dit que c’était l’un des plus beaux jours de sa vie car il a toujours eu l’ambition de voir les pyramides. Je recommande vivement cette expérience.

Voyage avec fils
Bien organisé du début à la fin. Ramassé à l'hôtel. Guide facile à trouver au Caire. Excellent guide, il était vraiment compétent. Excellent pilote, comment il nous a fait passer de a à être sans chute était incroyable.
Une fois dans ma vie, une occasion pour moi et mon fils, et nous en avons profité chaque minute

It’s a very long day!!...
It’s a very long day!! Cairo is mad! The driver is worth every penny. Be prepared to say NO, you will be asked for extra. You can do an optional horse or camel ride near the pyramids, but you will then be asked to TIP.

Excellent trip and service!
Last week, my friends and I visited Cairo by plane. From the beginning, booking the trip was easy and smooth, with excellent communication throughout. Upon landing, we were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Khaled. Khaled's extensive knowledge and ability to answer all our questions impressed us greatly.
What we appreciated the most was his engaging way of sharing information, which was easy for both us and our kids to understand. He even followed up with questions to ensure we had memorised the details, a brilliant method for engagement! We loved that we could openly discuss with Khaled what we wanted to see and what we preferred to skip, allowing him to personalise our experience. We truly felt that he was dedicated to us and made every effort to meet our expectations. We will definitely recommend this company to our friends and family, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful day trip in Cairo. Thank you, Khaled, for the brilliant memories!
