Top excursion with small group - The riders of Viator Tours were very friendly and always concerned about our well-being. They have always stopped where you could normally use the toilet and not at the usual tourist traps. The museum and pyramids were very interesting and with German speaking tour guide. Lunch was good, only the drinks in the restaurant were very expensive. (1 can of Coke 0.33l for 3 euros). Also the Papyros factory was interesting, but very expensive.
But you don't have to buy anything.

amazing Tour with great tourguide - The Tour was really great we got told pick up time is 1:35 but they came a lil bit later cause they also had to pick up other people.the bus was comfortable with ac and Toilet in it.you share the bus with people who ordered the Tour in different languages and the one with the most of the same language is basically the leader of the guides.we for example booked the Tour in english and 95% of the rest in polish so we had our own Private tourguide just for us 2 in english which was amazing Service and our guide was also amazing.the road from hurghada to cairo took around 5 1/2 hours with 1 stop for around 30min to move your legs and get something to eat or drink,and no people to try to sell you Souvenirs.the first stop was a nile river Tour for around 40min which is optional if you want you can take it and it Cost us 10$ for 2 people.was better than waiting outside the bus for 40min and not doing anything.the next stop was the National Museum of cairo where we spend 1hour in a personal Tour and than 30min where we could explore in on our own.but entrance fee isnt included in this package so you need to pay around 10$ per person for the entrance ticket.the next stop after that was a you could say perfume shop where you can get explained how they make the perfume in the past, its optional and you dont need to do it and can wait outside,was around 15min.after that we went to the Restaurant which was a Buffet with bbq'ed meat,and side dishes you can choose from,the food is included but drinks you need to pay for.
After that we finally went to the pyramids,first stop is at the biggest pyramid where you have around 5min to make pics,and here you also need to pay around 10$ per person entrance fee.after that there is a little drive in the bus to the other pyramid where you get around 40min to spend your time how you want.they make you the offer that you can take a camel ride or like a rikshaw with horse to go to a better place to make pics where you see all 9 pyramids,the 3 big ones and 6 smaller ones,but it will cost also 10$ per person,but in our personal experience it was 100% worth it to do that for the view.than after that we went with the bus between the biggest and Middle pyramid where we got again 20min to make pics and walk around.than after that we got to the Sphinx and spend around 20min there too for pics and history lesson.after that we went to the bus again and went to a store where they explain you how papyrus Was made and you could also buy some,took around 25min.and after that the way back started,we sadly got caught in traffic so the road back took longer and there was a stop to stretch your legs and get something to eat again.we arrived back at our hotel at around 23:30,so you can expect the Trip to take at least 22hours but in our opinion its 100% worth it to do this trip to see the last remaining of the 7 World wonders

Amazing Experience - This tour was the highlight of my trip. Seeing all the artifacts in the museum was unreal. The pyramids were incredible to see. It was impressive to see all the work the ancient Egyptians put in to build these structures and they are still standing strong. The camel ride was not included in the tour but it was worth the extra cost. Our guide went above and beyond with taking our pictures. He made sure we got spectacular shots. Our tour guide, Mohammad, was very knowledgeable. He explained all the historical facts you would expect your guide to explain. This tour is worth it! Yes the bus ride is long but it will all be worth your wild once you see all the beauty Cairo has to offer.

Saved a lot and enjoyed the main places of Cairo - I recommend this agency, everything went smoothly from booking to the end. Basically 5 minutes after booking we chatted on whatsapp. We were picked up at 1 am with a big bus and had lots of space. Dont forget to take warm clothes, it gets chilly in Egypt at night. In the morning we arrived in Cairo and visited every place without queues because of the pandemic. Our guide was helpful and her english was great. We saved over 2/3 of the price comparing with the hotel agency.

A Good Duo - Very good way to see both Cairo/Giza when in Hurghada.
Comfortable journey on the coach there end back and the lunch and pyramids were amazing. Drinks at lunch are only 50EGP£ hot & cold.
I think this trip does have good value despite sightings not being included.
Pyramids: 200 EGP£.
Museum: 200 EGP£.
I didn’t do the following below but I believe;
Nile Boat Ride (Optional): 200EGP£
To enter pyramid (Optional): 100EGP£
Camel/Horse ride(Optional): I think was 300/400EGP. I advice not to ride camels or horses because it’s unethical and unnecessary for them
to suffer just to capture a panoramic picture.

Fast paced but Informative and fun - Pick up was directly at our front door however one tour guide came to our hotel in a taxi to pick us up to take us to the bus. The process to pick up and drop off customers was time consuming and made us feel skeptical of the overall experience but once we made it to the tour bus the remainder of the trip was exactly what we paid for. Our guide was very informative and answered any questions we had. He also made the effort to get to know each of us in his group. The locations we visited were awesome. We felt very safe riding around in Cairo. All shops and souvenir staff we were introduced to were friendly and not overwhelming. My only suggestion would be to spend less time at Sultans and maybe add the additional time at the Egyptian museum. Sultans was amazing we bought a few items but we did not think we needed so much time there to discuss sample and purchase products.

Super uncomplicated and great value for money! - Very straightforward booked through Whatsapp. The transfer and the entire tour took place as agreed. It was a coach with around 25 tourists. Our German speaking guide Mohammed was great and super competent! Unfortunately, only the final visit of alleged Bedouins to Cairo was more like a sales show. However, the otherwise super organized tour, sphinx, pyramids and co. quickly consoled them.

Superb site of pyramids and sphinx - Very long road with many stops for police checks, sometimes very long!
Lunch in a restaurant really not great, like tourist factory...
Great museum, really very interesting.
We had bought an excursion with French-speaking guide and ended up with a large group of Germans. We had a French speaking guide but he gave us only short explanations, when the guide who spoke German explained for thirty minutes, for us it was summarized in ten minutes...
However, we made a magnificent discovery of pyramids, sphinx, magical moments, indescribable beauty!!!
Although the price of the excursion is high, one hundred euros per person, all day we were asked for extras, walk on the Nile without interest, dromedary ride supposedly indispensable to take the most beautiful photos and of course the stop we would gladly have avoided in a perfumery!!!
Nevertheless, the memory of the pyramids will remain an unforgettable moment.

Travel was awful. No clear ticket price on museums and need to know up front what is covered in price we pay - You think you have cheap trip, but it get more expensive as you are literally being used as a cow being milked. You pay and pay and pay. I wonder if this big company we give the money to, give the driver or the workers any money. Because it doesn’t seem like it
