Prof. Because
It was a beautiful and fun trip, just a little more time for photography 😅 Among the tours I’ve been to, I won’t go without mentioning the tour with the lunch that most suits the palate.

Once in a lifetime . Never again.
Early start, 1:25. Got in the bus , everybody tyres want to sleep. The man was playing music make sure don’t sleep until you get there. They tilt him to switch it off around 3:30 than it was ok . Whoever want to do this exclusion be prepared, 10+ hours in the bus. English German tour guide was a movie star . Very good guy. And one more thing if they offering you something on the bus better to accept it because it can cost you much more. In Giza they will try to scam you for sure . Careful whit the camel man , and also with the security.

Endless day for gale-force visits.
Extremely long day (25 hours!!).
We left at 00:30 to return at 1:30 the next morning!!
Disappointing cruise with engine smoke in the nose and local music in the ears.
The new Egyptian museum is beautiful.
Transport is well organised
We spent 45 minutes at the foot of Mykerinos , seen from a distance kephren and not even stopped at Cheops👎👎👎. We were still allowed to take a photo of the Sphinx 300 meters away....
Restaurant at your own risk...
Not for the kids.

Really look into your trip
We booked this trip as i wanted to do as part of my dream was told it was 6hrs there and 6 hours back that is without pick ups because of running a bit late felt like everything was very rushed I can’t fault the tour guide he was absolutely fantastic and tried his best with everything but the organisation of how it was is pretty poor I understand Cairo is very run down but I wouldn’t recommend going single or on ur own as a woman at all our buffet food included was going to a buffet style place which was really overcrowded that much that we got took in one place then went to go in another and then back to original place the whole thing I felt was very very rushed around all together we had been travelling for 25 hours for a one day trip the coach air con wasn’t working properly the seats were not comfortable at all no water or drinks were given we had to pay on coach for them i definitely recommend if your going to see pyramids to fly there

Exhausting but to do! Watch out for extra costs
A really exhausting day of excursion but how to miss the majestic pyramids when you come to Egypt , but watch out for the additions mini cruise on the Nile, zero and too expensive 10 € /pers , camel and carriage to the pyramids 15 € / person to make 200 m it was really abused if you want to enter a pyramid to see nothing it's 25 € / pers , then the perfumery or you are given a layer 15 € the 15 ml €€€ but we offered you tea lol , followed by the visit to the papyrus factory ... we were lucky that day everything was at least 50% re lol €€€€ and don't forget to leave a tip to your guide €€€€ all this is only optional even if you are encouraged to spend again and again, keep in mind that you don't have to pay all these options .... I really had the bad impression of being mistaken for cash cows . That's a shame. Last tip , whether you take this excursion here or in hotels it's the same service , but here on tripadvisor it's a little cheaper .

Great opportunity to see pyramids and sphinx
It was a good, long day. Aymen was a very good guide.
The driver was great
It hailed!
It would have been better if we could have chosen seats on the bus
As a solo traveller I did not like being in the aisle seat . I did not sleep
It was rushed a bit

An educational journey
Pretty tiring trip even if there will be some stops along the way. Guide Mohammed a shining star. Fantastic to see and touch the pyramids and feel the wings of history. The museum was also a highlight but makes short time. For me, the museum and the pyramids would have been enough. Lunch was unfortunately not so good, loud, crowded and stressful.

Disappointing
We were picked up on time at 2:30am, being the last pickup in hurghada. Coach was nice enough but nothing fancy.
Unfortunately our trip got off to a bad start as our coach broke down just over an hour outside of Cairo. We were left for 2 hours with zero communication as to what was happening and no air con. When a replacement coach turned up 2 hours later, it was noticeably worse than the previous coach. The air con did not work to the same level, it was quite warm, and the toilet was also incredibly filthy. (Side note: toilets on the coach and across cairo do not offer toilet roll, so bring tissues!) Appreciate that the coach breaking down wasn't necessarily your fault but the vehicle should have been better maintained if you are operating a tour, and should have at least kept us informed as to what was happening, and how it would impact the rest of the planned activities.
When we eventually got to Cairo, our first stop was the GEM museum which was brilliant, however it would have been nice to have more independent time there, we only had 30 minutes to ourselves without the group before having to leave, didn't even have time for the gift shop.
Lunch was at an extremely busy BBQ restaurant a short drive away, where we only had 20 minutes to eat. It was a very crowded, loud environment and very over stimulating. We were stood around waiting a while to even get in, again unsure exactly what was happening, eventually we were handed actually dirty plates with some liquid on by our guide (which I refused and found myself a clean plate) - a waiter even snatched a spoon out of my hand as I was serving myself as he wanted to refill the bowl! The food itself was okay but was put off the whole experience by that point so didn't really enjoy it.
After lunch we went to the pyramids, which were of course absolutely amazing, but we were only given 40 minutes to wonder around the main pyramids before having to meet back at the coach.
We then took a short drive to see the Sphinx, where we spent another 30 minutes. - It might have been nice to walk from the pyramids down to the sphinx as it wasnt that far, or again just be told a time and place to meet, and allowed to spend more time at the pyramids, but it was fine.
The whole thing felt very rushed and poorly optimised. We felt we definitely didn't get the most out of our brief time there. Especially considering this was the main reason we wanted to visit Cairo it was disappointing that it was the shortest amount of time we got to spend out of all the locations, and some of it was wasted with the guide trying to sell us cheap souvenirs, giving us an earlier time to return to the coach than the other group, and seemingly additional unnecessary coach time.
Due to breaking down earlier in the day, we did not have time to visit the papyrus museum as advertised. Which was a shame but understandable given the circumstances.
We then set off from the Sphinx to the Nile river cruise at 5pm (after being told we weren’t going to do it due to timing, and had accepted and was happy with because it meant we would get back to the resort in time for late dinner), which took over an hour to drive to, north through the city in rush hour (further from Hurghada). We eventually made it to the boat after sunset. Everyone was understandably tired and low energy by this point, some even waited back on the coach instead of taking the boat ride.
As we set off on the boat the captain essentially turned it into a party boat, completely missing the vibe, with very loud music, which he turned down after we asked, and bright flashing lights.
After the 30 minute boat ride, which started and ended in the same location, not heading south like we hoped, we set off on the coach back to Hurghada at around 7:40pm. We arrived back at our resort at 1:40am, missing dinner. We were luckily the last to be picked up and the first to be dropped off in hurghada, which prevented an additional 1.5 hours each way on the coach.
Additionally, almost all correspondence on the coach was done in Russian, which left other languages, including English, unsure of instructions, what was being said and the historical information being shared.
The Russian tour guide seemed to be good though! The English tour guide was friendly but just not very communicative at all (other than in the GEM), it's like he assumed we spoke Russian too, at points he would just point out good photo opportunities while the Russian tour guide was actually telling them about the surroundings.
Overall, glad we did this trip for the experience, but it was very tiring, drawn out, and inefficient. Only the GEM museum and the Pyramids were worth it.
Although cost effective and a convenient package tour, we wish we just got flights and went with a different tour guide, as we didn't get to spend much time with what we wanted and didn't get to see everything in the tour anyway.
Following this I requested a partial refund by the tour group and explained my reasoning, as mentioned above. They denied it, offering no discount whatsoever. I feel this is unfair and unethical given the experience we had.
Hope that this review is helpful and the criticism is taken on board, and some improvements are made. Thanks for reading.
