Trip of my dreams - The history is fascinating as is the culture.
In front of the pyramids there is a very powerful atmosphere and energy.
These are memories etched forever in my mind.

abduls review - amazing experience, lovely staff always helpful, entertainment in the night but would liked more egyptian music rather than european music. most of shows were ladies dancing with minimum clothes which i didnt feel comfortable with. most of the staff couldnt speak english which was annoying. i asked one staff the time and they said 6pm only to find out in my room it was 4:30pm. they thought i was asking about the time of restaurant closing. the beach is a shuttle bus away 10 mins. several restaurants including the indian was amazing. Great activities to do all around or simply chill out at the pool/beach. We’ve enjoyed our time here.

Very good tour guide if you can handle long travel in couch. - Rough 8 hour sleep on the coach. Outbound. For the return I decided to catch a flight back instead.
Coach did have recliner seats. USB ports. And a toilet.
Arrangement and planning of the tour was managed well. Enjoyed the boat trip and museum tour.
Our tour guide was good. At the pyramids we enjoyed the camel ride very much. Tour guide gave us very good info for our self and safety at the tourist sites. Eg how to avoid and handle the local tricksters and fraudsters.

Excursion into Cairo's past - The tour is very strenuous, those who are not fit,
I wouldn't advise him to take part in this tour, it started in the morning at 02.15,
In a bus with 30 people, the tourguid and the bus drivers were very nice, after about 7 hours bus ride, (when the air conditioning was off, it was unbearable, when you were on, it was too cold, ) boarded in the suburb of Cairo the tour guide, She seemed very nice, then she came around and collected money for a ride on the Nile and a ride on the donkey carriage or on the camel over the Giza plateau, when I said we did not want to do Nile boat ride and a camel ride, she showed your true face. She got mad and started cursing me, but honestly, who wants to do a camel ride in 60 degrees in the sun, that's madness, I advise everyone against it, the camel ride came 15€
Much too expensive, and then came your saying, don't forget to give the camel driver or coachman 5€, since I know that she has the main merit, the pyramids, the Sphinx and also the Egyptian museum are very impressive, but you don't have time to look at things more closely, because you are constantly admonished by the tour guide to stay with the group, we have been pushed through in the fast-track procedure,
We would have liked to take a closer look at everything. The death mask of Tut ench Amun is kept in a small room with the grave goods, the relics hardly come into their own.
Otherwise we were shocked by what a dirty city Cairo is, piles of garbage everywhere, and people live below the poverty line, we were shocked, I also understand that there are many traders at the sights and want to rip off the tourists.
Our conclusion is: we had so much anticipation for Kaira, but are so disappointed and negatively impressed by a 12.4 million inhabitants city. We would not do this tour again, so for us it is not recommended.

Average in truth - Out of the 4 excursions we went on, this was our least favourite. The whole day seemed designed to be a big sell to get as much money from you as possible. A lot of the museum visit was rushed and we missed loads of it by only being shown stuff that was relevant to what was being sold to us later in the day. There's always some additional stops on these trips but we felt that this one was well over the top tbh

The Truth - Unexpected additional charges
Lies
Extortion
Police escorted coach for same reason
Journey was draining/exhausting
Not given enough time
Surprise mini excursions costing additional fees
Changeover of coaches when already shattered.
Once in a lifetime experience but will never do that again!

Ok trip but very rushed. - The tour was nice but long as expected. I wished i stayed more time in the piramids. Tour guide was ok but if you going avoid going to the nile cruise is a wast of time. Instead i think going inside thr piramids it is worth it, and there's 2 prices you can pay 5£for the small or i 15£ for the bigger piramids its worth it. The camel ride you can deffo walk but after a long day i guess is ok to takr a ride. The luch offer was uneatable, busy restaurant and rude staff. Make sure you take.lots of snacks and water. The all. Experience was ok but it looks like they try to take you to soo many places to justify the pricr you pay. I belive tje piramids and the museum woule be a great experience and enough. Perfume museum wast of money and time. Very rushed trip i would not recommend, you better just to go on a private tour in my opinion.

Not the best experience - Yes, we saw the pyramids and yes, we saw the Sphinx. Yes we went to the museum too. However, communication with this company was very poor. The guide was very put out that we didn’t have euros to pay for taxes etc but we never managed to find anywhere to obtain more euros. They did accept dollars though. It’s a very long drive there and back which was expected so not a problem, just be aware! The museum was great and our tour guide was knowledgeable. A short boat ride on the Nile (optional) was lovely. Lunch was “delayed” as it was “not ready” which felt odd as it was a buffet style meal. So we were taken to a shopping spot to buy perfume oil. All this messing about meant that we got 50 minutes at one pyramid, 10 minutes at the great pyramid and 10 minutes at the sphinx rather than a total of 4 hours as advertised! This was very disappointing. We were then rushed off to another shopping opportunity to buy papyrus. Then we sat on the bus for ages waiting to go home.
It felt like we were being given lots of time to be parted from our money and not enough time seeing the wonder of the pyramids. I would consider doing this trip again, maybe, but not with this company.
