Amazing experience - The tour was really great, very informative. We went to the museum which was great as a lot to see and lots of history. Then we headed to the Nile cruise which was great too. It only costs 10£ per person. After this we headed to the papyrus gallery which is amazing as it has many different drawings and really great quality. After this we had a lunch and headed to pyramids which were the best. We also enjoyed the ride on camels even tho it can be really scary. Would recommend to anyone but don’t think it’s a great idea for families with small children just for the travel. We have been picked up at 1.15am and arrived to Cairo museum at 8.30 so it was a long journey. Mario our tour guide was really great, friendly and informative. Given us tips and hints and also was really patient.

Great Trip - The trip was very good. Our guide Mario was great and knew pretty much everyone we saw in Cairo, he definitely helped deter a lot of the hassling because people respect him and know not to bother his group which was a bonus for us. The itinerary was great and the bus had very good air conditioning and was very spacious. Overall a great day and would definitely recommend

Excellent trip - Flew from Hurghada to Cairo and then Cairo the Luxor for the excursions. In Cairo our tour guide was very good, extremely informative and friendly. We’d definitely recommend this trip to our friends and family. Always take some extra money with you however as you will go in some shops during the trip.

Best daily trip to see Cairo from Hurghada! - Depite the few reviews i read on booking.com, the tour outperfomed all of our expectations. Our guide Mario was super friendly and he knew almost everyone in the city. Did the the Nile tour as well. Worth it. Lunch was great and tasty. And then the pyramids! With a camel it was unreal. Finally we could admire the magnificent sphinx. The bus was also comfortable; time went by quickly. Overall: highly recommend the tour 6/5

Lovely day in Cairo with a knowledgeable guide - Had an amazing day in Cairo, with a knowledgable & friendly tour guide who took us to the Cairo Museum & then to the pyramids & Giza. Our only let down was the journey & the local tour operator, we were expecting a big bus to take us into Cairo, a mini van turned up , 30 minutes into journey we were told to get out the van & get into a taxi we were called by hotel name, told to hurry, no explanation, we asked what was going on no explanation still, we thought we had been kidnapped! Eventually we got out the taxi & onto another bus , still no explanation or apology for an obvious booking error, the driver of the first van was extremely rude, & impatient, especially when we had to fill in a form with name & hotel details, telling people to hurry we were filling it in in the dark! Trip advertised as offering water, soft drinks & snacks , never was anyone on the coach offered any, very poor service. Hence a star knocked off for the first part of our journey , once in second coach we felt safer & happier

Father's Day in Cairo - The satisfactory organization could improve in the departure and arrival phases. As in my case. They came to pick me up at the facility and take me in a 12-seater to take me to the point where the luxury coach was. While for many others who resided in central facilities, the 54-seater bus went directly. This operation wasted around 45 minutes on the outward and return journey. And the failure to respect the scheduled return time of 4.30pm while the largest group returned at 5.20pm. The rest was excellent. The Asis guide accompanied us on a visit to the Museum, the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Essence factory and the restaurant. Allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beautiful history of the Pharaohs. He pampered us and took care of us in safety. Professional.
