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!!

Excellent experience
Sharm el Sheikh Airport was a bit chaotic with miserable staff. Be prepared to go through security. The bags were thrown through the scanner and belongings fell onto the floor. Apart from that it was a really smooth transfer into Cairo where we were met by our driver who took us to the pyramids. The guide met us there and we had a fantastic day. Take plenty of refreshments as it's a busy full on tour. We had a break in the museum where there is a 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!

Mixed opinion: areas for improvement. Have a good day, but I've had a few...
The negatives:
1) we booked this tour in November and were immediately asked for an extra 35 euros for the air ticket, on the pretext that at the starting price we would stay 4 hours at the airport on the return. Not very honest not to have told us from the start...
2) The night before, we were told that we had the opportunity to visit the great new museum for another 30 euros. We did not know that the old one still existed and were taken by surprise.
3) The day in Cairo ended early and even though we had paid the extra 35 euros initially to take off earlier, we stayed 2 hours waiting for our plane. Why didn't you schedule another visit? Or send us out later in the morning?
4) The guide did not fail to stop us in a shop of essential oils and spices. We made a small purchase to please him and then find the same products ten times cheaper...
5) We were taken hostage between the driver and the guide whose opinions differed and then regretted not visiting the new museum...
6) A mediocre meal (good starters but hot dishes very mediocre and cold) but the meal did not matter to us... It's okay.
7) We were not told that we needed a visa. We found out from the hotel's travel agency and panicked... Fortunately, in the middle of the night, the assistance at the airport was top! But if we had known, we would have ordered it online.
The positives:
1) Timeliness of transfers .
2) A private francophone guide.
3) A very friendly driver and guide.
4) a camel ride proposed by the guide and pleasant although a little expensive (20 euros per half hour).
In short: a good day but questions remain as to the interests of all about the choice of museum or related activities...
I plan to return to Cairo with my children and I will go through the hotel at the same price.
