Incredible day! - What an incredible day we had. It was very long and tiring but definitely worth it! We started at midnight where we were picked up from out hotel by mini bus. Then we changed to a big bus. I forgot to arrange visa for myslef, but tour organiser kindly offer the day before to do it for me. I payed 400 egiptian pounds. But to be honest no one ever collected my passport or put any visa in it, so not sure if I had one or not. We arrive in cairo around 9am. Where me and my partner where separated form the rest of the bus. We had a lovely tour guide who through out all the trip was explaining everything to us. We had a choice of what attractions we wanted to see and which to miss and also how long to spend on each. He took some amazing photos of us. Special recommendations to our camel tour guide around the pyramids Omar Sheriff, he made it very interesting for us and is very nice person. Overall it was amazing and would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic Day - The tour was individually tailored to my wishes. The pick-up was on time and the driver drove very safely. I was able to take as much time as I wanted on the tours and Amazing planning, luxury and comfortable car. The guide and the driver were respectful and knowledgeable. Essak helped taking pictures as he was my tour guide and I was a solo traveller.

Amazing Experience - This was one of the most amazing experiences me and my friends have had so far! This is a tour really worth taking! The itinerary was followed step by step and at the and of the day left us with a smile on our faces! To this contributed our guide Mohsen! He is a role model of a tour guide for sure! He was very friendly, kind, easy-going with a nice sense of humor and with a deep knowledge of the Egyptian history and culture! He explained us everything we saw in this tour! Thank you Mohsen!! We really enjoyed every minute of this and it is a must for anyone visiting Cairo!!

nice trip, good price - nicely organised. The museum visit was a litle short, we were shown the main expositions but there was not much time for closer look. You will be offered a boat trip on Nile and a camel ride in Giza. Each costs L.E. 200 per person. Normal price for camel is 350, so there is a discount for you. Afterwards you go to perfume shop (15-35 EUR per bottle, depends on volume), you can bargain very well there. They speak many languages. However you can get lower price in old town of Sharm el Sheikh (around 60 $)

Pay attention to the entering fees are excluded !!! - I regret to say that I do not recommend. I have something to say to warn those who want to join this tour. 1. The person we contacted via whatsapp requested a Cairo visa for 25 dollars per person, including our 3-year-old child. 2. The road took approximately 10 hours (not exactly mentioned) 3. The guide who met us in Cairo separated us from the group and said that the entrance fees were not included in the package we purchased. He demanded an extra $61 per person. Thus, the tour price was 80+25+61=166 dollars per person. It is not worth the money, although it is better to get around by private vehicle. However, the guide (named Nabi) and the driver were kind people. So be very careful about what you buy and what you don't buy.

Good but stressful - It was a nice trip and we got to see the things we wanted to, but all troughout the day it was so much stress. Stressing trough the museum and we only got 10 minutes to go and see alone. Stressing trough the food, we didnt even get to be done with eating our plates. And the bus ride was the worst, small place and many stops. But we got to see everything we wanted to, just be ready to stress some.
