Cairo day trip

A_A, Feb 2025

Lovely trip which included boat trip and lunch. Mr Mina the tour guide, explained things in English. He is a very helpful individual. Our driver was also punctual and made the whole journey go really smooth. Thanx to both the driver and Mr mina

From start to finish, the journey was incredibly well-organized and utterly captivating.

The day began with a smooth transfer from Hurghada to Cairo, allowing us ample time to explore this mesmerizing city. Our Egyptologist tour guide was exceptional. Their deep knowledge and passion for Egyptian history truly brought each location to life. We started with a visit to Old Cairo, wandering through its ancient streets and absorbing the unique atmosphere. Our guide enriched the experience by sharing fascinating stories and historical insights. Next, we headed to the Egyptian Museum, where the extraordinary collection left us in awe. Our guide's expertise made the exhibits more meaningful, particularly the Tutankhamun treasures, which were a highlight. The intricate details and history of these artifacts were shared with infectious enthusiasm. After the museum, we had a delightful lunch, allowing us to sample traditional Egyptian cuisine. The flavors were delightful, providing a perfect midday refreshment. The adventure then took us to the Giza Plateau, where the pyramids stood majestically against the skyline. The Great Pyramid's grandeur was a sight to behold, and the Sphinx, enigmatic and iconic, was unforgettable. Our guide explained the architectural wonders and the mysteries surrounding these ancient structures, making the experience unforgettable. To top off the day, we enjoyed a serene boat trip on the River Nile. The gentle breeze and the picturesque views of the city from the water created a perfect ending to our trip. The entire experience was seamless, engaging, and utterly rewarding. This day trip from Hurghada to Cairo was a masterpiece of historical exploration and cultural immersion. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an enriching and memorable Egyptian adventure!

Excellent experience, value for money

Kelly_B, Dec 2024

This trip is long and tiring but what a trip, the value for money is excellent, we did so much, things your eyes can’t believe, our drivers were brilliant, plenty of toilet breaks but take some $1 bills cause you pay for the toilet paper, they got us there on time to everything, 2 driver that work so well together with sharing the driving when the other is tired. Our guide was knowledgeable and so lovely he told us who to trust and who not to, he got us a great deal on souvenirs, spoke great English and looked after us very well, top man. The Nile boat ride was lovely, our own private boat and lovely guys looking after us on that. If I could have a moan about anything it was the perfume shop, I feel he wasn’t happy that I wasn’t interested in what he was selling and I did end up walking out I do think this should be cut out and more time being spent in the museum or at dinner. The museum was unbelievable and our guide showed us all the best artefacts. Dinner was lovely it was across from the pyramids but you need to be on the second floor to see them while eating but the dinner was lovely even though it wasn’t quite a pyramid view. Drinks are not included in the meal but there cheap enough to buy. Our driver shared the driving and got us back pretty sharpish which we was happy tired by then, swapping when tired and only stopped once as we just wanted to get back, very good driving and always felt safe. All in all it was an experience of a life time and well worth the long day. Worth every penny for everything we seen and did 5 star service absolutely loved it thank you so much to the drivers and the guide they deserve the credit as they were excellent.

BEWARE AWARE.. Please read Carefully...

lee_w, Dec 2024

The reason I've given a one star is i personally feel ths company are misleading with the pricing... I booked this for My partner and myself at the cost of £67 per person £134 in total, What I didn't notice is at the bottom where it states NOT INCLUDED is a mandatory extra payment of £20/€20 or $25 per person 🤔 For so called Transportation ? and insurance costs ! bringing the total for the trip to £174, No mention or reminder from this company about the extra cost until you're within the 24hr no refund bracket 🤔 Probably my own fault for not reading it rite that I understand, BUT why is this not in the overall price when first booking and paying for the trip... I could have found same trip cheaper with another company with no hidden small print charges... Please don't get caught out with their booking price....

Yasir as a tour guide is truly exceptional! His expertise in Egyptian history is remarkable, evident from his 20 years of experience as a tour guide. The journey to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx was awe-inspiring, and Yasir's knowledge added immense value to the experience. I highly recommend Yasir as a tour guide for anyone seeking a profound exploration of these iconic sites. The adventure to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx was beyond words; it felt like stepping into history itself. Yasir's insights and storytelling truly brought these iconic landmarks to life. I wholeheartedly recommend this agency for a journey filled with wonder and enlightenment. The drivers Hasan Ebonor were absolutely attentive! I left my rucksack at the restaurant they went back and go it for me whilst I enjoyed my tour.

Pyramids trip

Donna_J, Aug 2024

This is a very long day especially for children. The trip itself was well organised we enjoyed seeing the hanging church & mosque. The Museum was interesting though we didn’t have time to look round the shop at the end. Lunch wasn’t too great but the Nile boat was lovely and the pyramids breathtaking. The drivers and guide took great care of us plenty of stops and drinks along the way. Visited paper making shop and parfumerie at end would have rather spent less time there and more time at the pyramids & museum shop. Glad we did this trip however, from Hurghada the journey by van was long this was expected but tiring day.
