Good value for money.
Very value for money. We were picked up at Makadi at 01:00 at night and were home again at 01:00, so the trip takes longer than indicated. The bus ride is long, but it's a fantastic experience and our English guide was really good.
We first booked a trip, which we unfortunately had to cancel 30 minutes before pickup, because our daughter fell ill.
After that I contacted the company, just to ask if they could make a good price for our next trip, but they never answered, which didn’t feel like the best customer service. But when the money was paid there was nice communication.

Just my view
This turned out to be a 24 hour round trip with about 1 hour at the pyramids. This element was hugely disappointing.
I found the trip was tailored around upselling, with trips to a perfume shop and a spice shop where there was a presentation.
There was far to much sitting around, which mate it even worse when we were ushered away from the pyramids so quickly to go and sit on the bus, then sit in a spice presentation before sitting on the bus again..
The museum was also disappointing with the tour guide showing us so little in the museum. The food was good, but the drinks were marked up 150%.
If you want to briefly see the pyramids and are olds with not really learning anything when you are there and are happy to have a full 24 hours away from your hotel then this trip is well priced but please do not expect to be blown away. It’s a whistle stop tour. And take a good book for all the time you are sat on the bus.
I am so happy I didn’t pay through the nose for this trip.

Beautiful and spectacular day! (Just a bit hot 😉)
Lovely day in general.
Good guide and beautiful places!
Why 4 out of 5? I would have appreciated a little bit more time at the museum (30min free time)
The rest was great, good and comfy bus, very helpful guide with a ton of explanations and info about Egyptian history. We learned a lot from him! The restaurant at noon was delicious. The trip to the pyramids is wonderful and well organized. We did some perfume and spice stores which were nice but unfortunately not the papyrus factory. To bad but all and all a great and wonderful day!

Trip to Cairo, Pyramids and Museum
The experience was great. We explored Cairo, visited the pyramids, learnt about the essences and spices used in Egypt. Our tour guide was also amazing and was happy to answer any questions we had. He made sure we all stuck together and made it entertaining. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants to do this tour.

What a scam, what a waste of time: no respect for tourists who are treated as wallets
No respect for people, visiting the Giza site in 30-40 minutes, no possibility to get close to the Sphinx: however, they took their time for Benoist to do useless activities:
-trip that lasted 25 hours (including 3 hours of pickup at various hotels)
-waste of time in optional (paid) activities
- no more time for what we came for: to contemplate the pyramids: we had to hurry
- a person who handles logistics is extremely unpleasant
Do not waste your time with this travel agency, which prefers that you get ripped off in optional activities rather than taking the time for what you endure 10 hours on a bus: goodbye and NEVER again

To be avoided
Our excursion to Cairo was very disappointing on several points.
First of all, the organization of the transportation needs to be reviewed. We had to change buses three times and spent 3 hours 30 minutes waiting in a parking lot in Hurghada, without explanation in the middle of the night.
Regarding the paid options, they are practically forced upon you. If you choose not to take them, you simply have to wait on the bus without any activity, which was not specified.
The visit to the Cairo Museum was much too fast. We had about 20 minutes of explanations with the guide, then only about ten minutes on our own. It is impossible to enjoy the museum or discover the collections at this pace.
We strongly advise against paying for the extra option to visit the Grand Museum. In practice, the schedule does not allow for going there, because the sites close between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM. The excursion advertises about 1 hour 30 minutes at each site, but in reality we only stayed 40 minutes at the museum, 45 minutes at the pyramids, and 30 minutes at the Sphinx. The program is therefore very far from what is advertised.
On the other hand, the visit to the papyrus shop was a pleasant surprise. The explanations were interesting, the demonstration was high-quality, and no one forced us to buy anything.
Finally, the pyramids are magnificent and live up to their reputation. However, the site is unfortunately marked by heavy exploitation of animals. It is difficult not to be shocked by the condition of some camels and horses, which bear whip or iron marks and remain exposed to the full sun all day long. This clearly tarnished our experience.
In summary, despite the exceptional beauty of the pyramids, the poor organization, the lack of time at the sites, and certain aspects of the excursion do not, in our opinion, justify the price paid.

We stopped at many key places in the city. Excellent excursion, nothing to complain about. Very long bus ride
Cairo is a city so filled with culture that all fans of Egypt will love it.
Excellent ride on the Nile with a view of the city and its beautiful architecture.
Top-notch guide, truly passionate and very kind.
The experience at the pyramids is incredible, to be seen with one's own eyes.

Very well organised, professional behaviour from travel organizers. Only compliant, more time should be allowed at Giza Pyramid
Definitely worth trying , if you are not afraid of long bus rides

Could be good
The visit itself as well as the guide were pleasant. The explanations from the Egyptologist were interesting.
However, the bus rides were horrible. A journey that normally takes 5 hours took 9, coffee breaks of 20 minutes turned into a meeting of drivers who smoked hookah together for over an hour, stops to do their shopping, an uncomfortable bus, and the organizers who do not allow you to change from the seat they assigned you, even if other seats become available. All of this means that you spend over 25 hours, most of it on a bus, you have little time for visits, and you end up having to rush through the explanations.
If you want to fully enjoy your experience, do not hesitate to spend a little more and go by plane. You will truly have time to visit and you will preserve your back and your sleep.
