All Sharm el Sheikh Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 44

We originally booked with another company and they canceled somewhat last minute as they said not enough people booked for “old museum “. We thought it was because we got an incredible Black Friday deal and force us to re-book. Instead, we booked with FTS and ORIGINALLY were a little disappointed with the extra price UNTIL our arrival in Cairo. Then our socks were blown off !! We didn’t realize this was a PRIVATE tour we had unknowingly booked. It was only a couple $100 more, but WOW what an experience!! Our guide Nour was so knowledgeable about everything Egypt ! He got us access around all the line-ups so instantly in to every site !! He’s a 2nd generation tour guide in Cairo and the passion for his history just flowed out of him. There was not one question he couldn’t answer and flawless English!! Would do this tour again in a heartbeat!! Was so impressed with how every detail from hotel pickup to hotel drop off went, even with a delayed flight !! Amazing job FTS !!

First time riding a horse and I was nervous but Achmed was kind an patient with me I was soon at ease. I booked for the 2 hours and had the pleasure of riding 2 of there beautiful horses, Mango and Chocolate who were very well cared for and the scenery was stunning. Totally professional from start to finish. Highly recommend

Sharm el Sheikh Airport was a bit chaotic with miserable staff. Be prepared to go through security. The bags were thrown through the scanner and belongings fell onto the floor. Apart from that it was a really smooth transfer into Cairo where we were met by our driver who took us to the pyramids. The guide met us there and we had a fantastic day. Take plenty of refreshments as it's a busy full on tour. We had a break in the museum where there is a café

A really enjoyable afternoon and evening riding a quad bike into the desert! This is the second time we have done the activity and it was just as good as the last. Well organised, fantastic staff who really look after you. Really affordable price and great quality for the money.

Thank you to Hamed for a fantastic day out in Alexandria. He arrived to collect us on time and looked after us all day. We did everything we wanted to do plus a little more, and he drove us safely all day. The car was comfortable and he speaks good English. I would highly recommend a tour with him if you get the opportunity. A perfect day out, thank you!!

The visit to Petra is simply amazing. It is well worth the time spent getting there, however there is no escaping the fact that it is very, very long. Our trip started at 00:45 and ended at about midnight. It was all incredibly efficient though and by and large ran like clockwork. The only delay was when we arrived in Aqaba we were kept on the ferry for about an hour as a customs officer hadn’t turned up. There’s quite a bit of queuing too, you queue to leave Egypt and again to enter Jordan, and then the reverse on the way back. It is mostly queuing outside, it’s still dark (in early Feb) and was quite cold so make sure you have a jacket with you. The guides were great, and our tour bus catered for three languages. I saw previous reviews where people said that people spoke over the guides when it wasn’t their language but that wasn’t our experience. Petra itself is a sight to behold, absolutely stunning! The Treasury, jaw dropping! And the site is huge, we could have done with an entire day as you just can’t see it all in the few hours you are there for. There is a walk of around 45 mins in each direction which is downhill on the way in and therefore uphill on the way out. We are both 65, and quite active, but had no issues at all with the hike. You can take a golf buggy (which I think is $22 cash each, one way. Please check as I’m not too sure, or take a horse). We felt the lunch at a nearby hotel wasn’t great, but as it came at the end of the visit to Petra and we were about to sit on a coach for several hours, it was better not to over eat! Some have complained about the toilet stops being at shopping villages to buy souvenirs, but I couldn’t really see any other options. That said, there was absolutely zero hassle where we stopped, the vendors showed respect and left you alone to browse in peace. And no tips required to use the toilet! Don’t be put off by the journey, it really wasn't too arduous! Petra is an unforgettable experience, the Jordanian people are so friendly and welcoming, it is well, well worth it! I’m not sure why no one offers a two or three day trip though, if they did, we would have done that instead.

The entire experience was amazing. Booked both snorkeling and diving. The crew were superb. My wife is pregnant and couldn’t manage swimming for long. A crew member took her (pulled her ) and all those who couldn’t swim around to see the coral and all the way to the White Island.. We made a mistake however. Unfortunately you cannot dive with seeing glasses on. Pack contact lenses or custom prescription goggles if you need your glasses to see. Food was great. The boat was 5 star. Definitely memorable

I end up on this trip with the same company I did Tiran island - Dolphin Red Sea. Very good and patient instructors. All explained well. 2 intro dives 10min each felt so much longer and they take amazing photos under the water if you want to buy extra as souvenir. Really good experience and I would go with them again.
