Incredible Pyramids Tour with a Few Small Hiccups – Still Highly Recommend
We had an amazing experience on our Cairo tour to see the pyramids, Egyptian museum and felucca ride.
Our tour guide Shimaa was super lovely, incredibly friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She shared so much interesting information throughout the day and really made the experience feel special and well-organised.
Our Cairo driver was also wonderful, very kind and welcoming, and even provided drinks in the car which was a really thoughtful touch.
Our driver in Sharm El Sheikh was unfortunately about 40 minutes late to pick us up at the end of the evening, which meant we missed our dinner reservation, which was disappointing.
One tip for anyone planning the trip: make sure to get your visa at the airport when you first arrive in Sharm. We arranged ours the morning of the flight to Cairo and it felt quite stressful and would likely be difficult in peak season.
Other than that, we would definitely recommend the experience overall, the pyramids were incredible and the tour itself was really well put together.

Amazing experience
Excellent trip and service, Just make sure you book the Grand Egyptian Museum if you want to see King Tut's exhibition.
We were picked up early from our hotel to Sharm El Sheik airport by a private driver. Sharm airport was a bit chaotic to say the least, be prepared to have all belongings thrown through the scanner! However, the flight was swift and hassle free.
We were met outside Cairo departures terminal by a driver who took us to meet Hannah our tour guide for the day. Hannah was incredible! she was so knowledgeable about the pyramids and throughout the museum, her English speaking was eceptional. She made the trip for us!! Take plenty of drinks and comfortable shoes as we spent the majority of our day on our feet.
Following the pyramids, we had the option of seeing a papyrus paper factory, which we accepted. We were then treated to a buffet lunch af a local restaurant 5 minutes drive away included in the tour package
The Egyptian Grand Museum was next on the tour, which was incredible and very large, due to Ramadam it unfortunately closed at 4pm and we felt could have spent many more hours there as we did not see all the exhibitions.
To finish off the day, we had a 30 minute boat road down tbe Nile
The only downside was we were dropped off at the airport at 6pm but didn't fly until 10.35pm, when we landed back Sharm the same driver was waiting to take us back to our hotel.
Overall a really enjoyable but tiring day. We were very impressed with the Hannah and our driver who stayed with us throughout the day!! The tour operator kept in touch via WhatsApp prior to the trip and throughout. Would definitely book again with them!!

Excellente expérience
L'aéroport de Charm el-Cheikh était un peu chaotique avec un personnel misérable. Soyez prêt à passer la sécurité. Les sacs ont été jetés à travers le scanner et des effets personnels sont tombés sur le sol. En dehors de cela, ce fut un transfert vraiment en douceur au Caire où nous avons été accueillis par notre chauffeur qui nous a emmenés aux pyramides. Le guide nous y a rencontrés et nous avons passé une journée fantastique. Prenez beaucoup de rafraîchissements car c'est une tournée bien remplie. Nous avons fait une pause dans le musée où il y a un café

Fantastic Pyramid Tour with Hannah!
We had an incredible experience visiting the Pyramids! From start to finish, the arrangements were seamless. Communication was a breeze as the team reached out via WhatsApp, making the coordination effortless before we even arrived.
A massive shout-out to our guide, Hannah. She was absolutely fantastic! Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, but she was also exceptionally patient with all our questions and photo requests. Having her with us truly made the day special—we couldn't have asked for a better guide to bring the history to life.
The only minor critique we have is regarding the timing. We finished the tour around 3:00 PM, but our flight wasn’t until 10:00 PM. Since we had quite a bit of a gap, it would have been wonderful if the itinerary included some extra sightseeing, like a visit to the local markets, to fill those afternoon hours.

A great trip, seamless coordination and fantastic organisers
My dad and I had such a great experience on this trip from Sharm to Cairo. Firstly, Ahmed’s communication on WhatsApp from start to finish was exceptional, I didn’t have to think about anything, he was so responsive and sorted everything so efficiently. The trip is naturally quite intense with the travel and many spots to see in Cairo but every stage was seamless, the drivers in both locations were waiting for us as soon as we were ready for each next step, the flight was a very quick 45 minutes. Once in Cairo, our guide Shimaa was brilliant, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and gave us a great first introduction to the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum- we both found it fascinating.
Thank you all for making it such a great and efficient day!

Avis mitigé: des points à améliorer. Bonne journée, mais des couacs...
Les points négatifs:
1) nous avons réservé cette excursion en novembre et on nous a immédiatement demandé 35 euros supplémentaires pour le billet d'avion, au prétexte qu'au prix de départ, nous resterions 4h à l'aéroport au retour. Pas très honnête de ne pas nous l'avoir dit dès le départ...
2) La veille au soir, on nous a annoncé que nous avions la possibilité de visiter le grand nouveau musée pour 30 euros de plus. Nous ne savions pas que l'ancien existait encore et avons été pris de court.
3) La journée au Caire s'est terminée tôt et même si nous avions réglé les 35 euros supplémentaires au départ pour décoller plus tôt, nous sommes restées 2h à attendre notre avion. Pourquoi n'avoir pas prévu une autre visite? Ou nous faire ^partir plus tard le matin?
4) Le guide n'a pas manqué de nous arrêter dans une boutique d'huiles essentielles et épices. Nous avons fait un petit achat pour lui faire plaisir pour trouver ensuite les mêmes produits dix fois moins chers...
5) Nous avons été prises en otage entre le chauffeur et le guide dont les avis divergeaient et avons regretté ensuite de ne pas avoir visité le nouveau musée...
6) Un repas médiocre (entrées bonnes mais plats chauds très médiocres et froids) mais le repas nous importait peu...Ce n'est pas grave.
7) On ne nous avait pas dit qu'il fallait un visa . Nous l'avons appris par l'agence de voyage de l'hôtel et avons paniqué...Heureusement, en pleine nuit, l'assistance à l'aéroport a été au top! Mais si nous l'avions su, nous l'aurions commandé en ligne.
Les points positifs:
1) La ponctualité des transferts .
2) Un guide francophone privé.
3) Un chauffeur et un guide très sympathiques.
4) une ballade à dos de chameau proposée par le guide et agréable quoique un peu chère (20 euros la demi-heure).
Bref: une bonne journée mais des interrogations demeurent quant aux intérêts des uns et des autres sur le choix du musée ou les activités annexes...
Je compte revenir au Caire avec mes enfants et je passerai par l'hôtel au même prix.
