Awesome Day Out - To summarize, we had a fantastic time - big thanks to Mona the tour guide and the drivers, the trip was well organized, very informational and the only improvements I can think of are no music on the boat and a better lunch (and that is me being picky). As mentioned it is a long journey ~6 hours each way, so bring pillows, water, packed breakfast/dinner - luckily we all managed to sleep on the bus so wasn't as bad as I was worried it might be. --- We had not used Viatour before, so I was a little nervous to begin with but was quickly reassured by Mohammed via WhatsApp which provided the details all the details we need regarding pickup and answered all my questions. Our Journey started at 3am from the hotel where we settled in and got some sleep for the long journey ahead, there was a couple of rest stops on the way and just be aware that seemingly randomly you might be asked for 10 EGP to use the toilet so have some loose change available. We got to the Egyptian Museum just before 9am and met Mona our Tour Guide who would look after us for the day, she was extremely knowledgeable and we spent nearly 2 hours there, before we all jumped back into the minibus to the Nile Cruise. The Nile Cruise was nice though short and the captain put on some extremely loud music for a strange reason, so not very relaxing. Personally I would have probably preferred to miss the boat ride and spend more time in the museum but that is just a personal thing. Lunch was average but "filled a hole" and you have to pay for drinks and then we jumped into the mini-bus to see the Pyramids The Pyramids were amazing, you had to pay extra to go into them - but the queue was long, the weather was hot and we were all starting to get a bit tired so decided not to bother, Mona provided a lot of interesting information as we walked around and then we moved onto a more panoramic view where we had our camel ride which was great fun and we got some great pictures. Back onto the minibus to see the Sphinx where we walked around and then finally the Papyrus shop and gift shop where we bought some bits and pieces then we said goodbye to Mona and headed back to the hotel. Where do I start? The journey from Hurghada to Cairo is a very long one. We started at 2am and got back to our hotel at 11.30pm. The drivers were very patient, friendly and accommodating. (Thank you Mr Ahmed). Our tour guide Reem was professional, patient and extremely helpful. We had 2 young children with us and she was very accommodating. First we went to the Egyptian Museum, followed by a Felucca ride on the nile which was magnificent, then a spot of lunch at a local restaurant which was lovely(Drinks not included nor lunch for infants). We then went to the Giza plateau where Reem explained everything thoroughly and was so informative. She took some beautiful pictures for us throughout the day. We then went on a camel ride through the Giza plateau finishing off at the sphinx and some more pictures. The drive back was a long one, make sure you bring a pillow with you and a book for the ride. Thank you so much, we enjoyed our day at Cairo and all the staff made it a memorable one.

A day to remember - Everything went very smooth. We received a message 2 days prior to the trip to confirm the details. Our driver met us on time. In Cairo we picked up our guide. Then we visited the Egyptian museum for 2 hours and got many informations about the rich history. Then we went to a private 30 min boat trip on the river nile. After a visit to a papyrus factory we went to lunch, which was not extraordinary but sufficient. In the afternoon we saw the pyramids of Giza. We’ve been taken to the point with the best views of the scenery. From there we had a 30 min camel ride alongside the pyramids. After this we went to see the sphinx. On the way back to Hurghada we dropped off our guide and finally went back to our hotel. We’ve been accompanied by the guide at all sights and got many explanations. Our driver (Mahmoud) and our guide (Mahmoud) were very friendly, helpful and professional.

One day to remember - Driver and guide were very friendly, helpful and professional. Many activities and many things to encounter in one day.

Amazing Cairo Trip - Amazing trip! Our driver was very nice and friendly. Our tour guide, Mona, was fantastic. She had excellent knowledge and gave us a brilliant tour of the museum and the Giza necropolis.

A must do!! - My husband and I really enjoyed this trip. Very reasonably priced. We where picked up at hotel. Driver was very friendly respectful and helpful. Ahmed was our guide he was lovely we really couldn’t have had a better person to show us around. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and great company he spoke perfect English. Thank you so much. We can highly recommend this trip.

First Class Private Day Trip to Cairo - We booked the private trip which really was private, from the transfers to our own personal guide and personal feluka and camel rides. Our driver was excellent and friendly and the transfers efficient both to and from Cairo and throughout the day, and we were back to our hotel in Makadi Bay in time for dinner. It was a long day for him with little rest in-between stops, but he coped brilliantly. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us options and choices regarding the schedule and timing of the activities and for personal time etc. A great but long tiring day, making the 3am pick up from our hotel well worth it.....taking pillows for the back of the car was a great idea.

Pyramids day - We had a great day out, pick up was on time, our driver was excellent, the guide was very helpful and knowledgeable, a perfect day and we recommend you to everyone.

Must do trip! - Thanks to our driver and guide, the guide was very knowledgable and we learnt a lot throughout the day whilst being well looked after. Would highly recommend.

Best trip! Definitely recommend - The best trip to experience new sights and learn about Egypt! Both our tour guide and driver were amazing! Both made sure we was safe at all times, we learned so much about Egypt and saw loads of sights. We visited many places that we probably wouldn’t have seen if we went on a ‘big’ group tour this is why we went for a Private tour and we would highly recommend!! Lunch was included and admissions to museums, pyramids and Nile boat trip. It’s definitely worth the early morning start! We are so happy with our experience and we would definitely recommend! Thank you both for a great day! 😊

Very good service - Very good organization, everything went according to schedule. Departure from the hotel at 3 a.m., long drive but the vehicle was comfortable and the drivers experienced and efficient. The French-speaking guide (Wael Farah) was waiting for us in Cairo. He knew how to capture the attention of 3 children and was not stingy with explanations about the museum and the monuments visited. We were treated to a nice package of photos from him. Walk on the Nile after the museum to rest a little, then lunch and on the way to the Pyramids, where after admiring them we were able to take a short camel ride with a view of the pyramids. We appreciated the respect for the services announced, the punctuality, the all-inclusive price, and no strong incentive to make us buy souvenirs (we had already bought some the day before). Prepare cash for miscellaneous tips as this is customary. Overall, services a little more expensive than other offers but there are no extras to be expected and when you are with family it is really nice to have a minibus just for yourself, even if only to lie down a little to sleep during the long journey.
