I wish they would stop...
I wish they would stop including tourist trap market shops. This made the trip unworthwhile and wish we would've booked a tour somewhere else

Wat te doen in Sharm-el-Sheikh
Dagtrip naar Sharm el-Caïro inclusief vlucht, Pyramids GEM of Ancient Museum
Alle 27 foto's bekijken
Overzicht
Ontdek het grootste museum voor oude Egyptische kunst en zijn schatten uit het rijke verleden van Egypte, zoals de hoogwaardige grafgiften. Tijdens een bezoek van ongeveer twee uur vertelt onze gids op humoristische wijze over de belangrijkste tentoonstellingen en beantwoordt hij uw vragen. Bewonder het laatste overgebleven wereldwonder - een werkelijk legendarische ervaring! In totaal vindt u hier drie piramides: de piramide van Chephren, de piramide van Cheops en de piramide van Menkerinos. U kunt de omgeving te voet, te paard of op een kameel verkennen. Na een bezoek aan de piramides van Gizeh gaan we naar de Sfinx, veruit de grootste en best bewaarde sfinx. Het bestaat uit een mensenhoofd op het lichaam van een leeuw. De Sfinx werd uitgehouwen uit de resten van een kalksteenheuvel die diende als steengroeve voor de Grote Piramide van Gizeh. Feluccatocht op de Nijl. In overleg met de reisgroep en tegen betaling beschikbaar.

Fantastic tour guide/ no complaints pertaining to them. Other things could be improved
I would've given this experience a higher review if it weren't for a few things I will mention. The positives: - Our Tour guide was fantastic. He went above and beyond with customer service. He was very knowledgeable, well informed and patient with us. He was willing to answer all of our questions and gave us enough time to ourselves to explore the sights and Museum by ourselves. We didn't feel rushed at all. The flight with Egypt air was efficient and overall the timing of the travel was a straight forward journey. Pick up was easy and efficient. - Food buffet was good. Filling and sufficient. The three bottles of water provided was great throughout the day. The negatives: - Online communication- I messaged the company almost 3 weeks before excursion however plane tickets were given to us less than 24 hours before journey. As well as pick up time information. This I believe should be a lot better. At least 3 days notice should be provided. Name on plane ticket was incorrect and this could have caused lots of issues. Luckily the airport staff didn't pick up on the error. Taxi driver also had a friend in the car once we were picked up. - Perfume shop and papyrus experience was a waste of time and we didn't enjoy the experience. We felt very under pressure to buy their gifts also. We understand that they have businesses but at the same time if someone is telling you, that you're not interested in buying something once, that should be enough to back away. Instead we felt hounded and very uncomfortable by this, and that if you didn't buy their gifts or accept their drinks you were met with guilt. The overall Experience was good but would've been a lot better without the additional trips we made to perfume shop and papyrus shop. - For things with additional costs- there should be an option to opt out. But there was no alternative really. It was pretty much you had to do them. For those who do not budget for the additional things, it was tiring having to deny and explain why we wanted to opt out. I would've recommended this experience if it wasn't for the shop visits. That unfortunately let it down and the reason for the average review. Everything else was honestly nothing too detrimental. So if you are willing or want to book this trip, I advise that you make it clear to the tour guide that there is no interest in additional costs - if there are things you would rather not do. There could maybe an alternative option or meeting place for you to wait if this is the case.

Agenzia seria e super organizzata
Esperienza fantastica ma soprattutto super organizzata, dai biglietti aerei al visto e la guida. SUPER AMED 😍 che ringraziamo infinitamente per la sua pazienza e il suo mega tour alle piramidi e non solo, ci ha portati al museo del papiro, dei profumi e al spuk del Cairo che risale al 1500! Una giornata indimenticabile. Grazie Amed e grazie a voi, vi porterò nel cuore ❤️

Geweldige reis naar Caïro
We hadden een geweldige ervaring tijdens het nemen van de reis naar Caïro met Book Tour Egypte. Alles was goed - georganiseerd. Zeker een aanrader!

A must do
We’ve been looked after by the kindest, most dedicated, friendly tour team. The driver, the guide and their extra team are just excellent. Our guide Ahmed gave us the best tour of the Egyptian Museum, with explanations and facts that were fascinating for both adults and children. The Nile cruise was equally pleasant, so was the walking tour of Cairo market. The highlight for all was no doubt the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx, a real wonder of the world. We are still buzzing from this experience, even the kids (aged 11 and 12) said it was worth getting up in the middle of the night for this, unanimously the best day of our fantastic week in Egypt.

Discriminatory treatment, stay away
What started out as a great experience was completely ruined which has totally ruined this holiday for us. We paid over £1,000 and were treated like third-class citizens simply because of our ethnicity and age. This tour is advertised as suitable for ages 0 to 99, yet from the very beginning, we were repeatedly told that our parents — who are in their 70s — would slow others down. They are not in wheelchairs; they simply walk a bit slower. Despite this, they completed the entire Khan Al Khalili market walk after the strenuous pyramid excursion, proving they were not a burden to anyone. The tour guide was extremely biased and unprofessional. He would deliver short, one-line explanations in English for us, but when speaking to the Italian group, he would translate in full, adding stories and extra context. It was blatantly clear who he prioritized. My mum was even publicly and rudely told not to join the Khan Al Khalili market excursion because she would “slow down the group for the others,” clearly referring to the white travelers who laughed at us. This was humiliating and completely unacceptable. We are British citizens of Indian ethnicity, and the way we were treated was disgusting and clearly discriminatory. It is 2025 — this kind of behavior should have no place in the tourism industry. Also we paid full price of the tour for my son who is a 4-year-old child, for whom all entrance fees were meant to be free — so not sure why take his money and treat his grand parents this way. I strongly urge anyone with kids or parents or someone who are not white, no matter what their nationality, to stay far away from this tour.

Spectacular day in Cairo
Spectacular service from start to finish! Communication prior to the trip was excellent & well organised. We were on a small trip, with just 10 of us in total, which was perfect. Our tour guide Ahmed was so knowledgeable & made our trip so enjoyable. We opted for the additional River Nile cruise & camel rides at the Pyramids of Giza & these were so worthwhile, thoroughly recommend. We had enough time at each stop & had time to roam freely if we wished to, which was great. We stopped for lunch & again, the food was really good & we were supplied with enough water for our group. This trip is definitely worth the 21 hour day we had & we’d do it all again without hesitation. Highly recommend this company & we were so lucky to have Ahmed as our tour guide.

Meravigliosa, la consiglio assolutamente.
Questa esperienza la consiglio a tutti, è indimenticabile. Può essere un po’ stancante perché parti la mattina presto, però ne vale assolutamente la pena. La guida Kaled è stata eccezionale, super disponibile e sempre pronto ad assecondare le nostre esigenze. Emozionante la visita del piramidi e anche il museo egizio, alla fine abbiamo fatto anche l’escursione sul Nilo in barca, al tramonto. È molto bella e costa solo 10 €.

Amazing Cairo trip
We had a brilliant experience on this trip. Khalid our tour guide was exceptional, so good with everyone and kids. Kept us all engaged all day with history through questions and answers. When we went to museum in the end we were all able to make reference to what he had been telling us all day. Kids were so engaged and listening as they knew he would ask questions and give prizes. Nile your in the end was perfect icing on the cake.
