Further to our conversation this morning, I would like to say that, after waiting for 1hour a car turned up to take us to our small English speaking tour. However when getting on the bus, it was not English speaking. Them Neither the driver or tour guide spoke to us, we then drove for a while and stopped, we didn’t know what for and nobody told us. This my wife found very worrying and started to stress her. We were then told we were meeting with a car with someone who spoke English. Not what we paid for as we prefer a small group, that’s what we booked for. The whole day was supposed to be all inclusive, so was surprised when we were asked to pay, it also stated we had paid to go into the spinks, which was was also expected to pay again for. The mini bus was also very uncomfortable for a long trip , not your usual standard. We was expecting a lovely day out, but all we got was worry, stress, extremely sore back and less money than expected So I request a small refunded. Many thanks, I’ll be waiting for your response.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all guest comments seriously, though we would like to clarify several points regarding your experience to ensure a transparent record of the services provided. Vehicle & Guide Quality The Vehicle: The minivan provided was the exact category and type you selected during the booking process. While we understand comfort is subjective, the vehicle met all standard requirements for the tour type booked. The Guide: Your tour was led by a licensed expert guide certified by the Ministry of Tourism. We ensure all our guides meet these professional standards to provide accurate historical insights. Tour Itinerary & Inclusions We would like to clarify that the program was delivered exactly as promised in your booking: Included Sites: You successfully visited the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza, both of which were core parts of your itinerary. Lunch: This was provided as an inclusion in your "all-inclusive" package. The "Extra" Costs: The payment you mentioned was for an optional horse carriage tour. This specific activity was not listed as an inclusion in your original booking. You agreed to this add-on on-site; therefore, it required a separate payment. All items listed as "included" in your voucher were provided at no additional cost. Refunds Processed We acknowledged the frustration caused by the initial pickup delay and have been proactive in compensating you: Initial Agreement: We personally agreed to refund €50 due to the driver's delay at the start of the day. Viator Request: Following your additional request through Viator, we approved a further €50 refund. Total Compensation: You have received a total of €100 in refunds. Note: We believe this total refund fairly compensates for the delay and the communication gap during the vehicle transition at the start of the day. We aim to provide high-quality service to all our guests, and while we regret that certain aspects did not meet your expectations, we stand by the fact that the primary tour components were delivered as advertised. Safe travels, Management Team

It was a very nice camel was a gentleman taking me for a nice stroll in the sand, food at the buffet was bad but altogether a great experience

Amazing tour of museum and the pyramids

matt_r, Apr 2024

An excellent trip after was initially cancelled last minute. Our tour guide Mandour was absolutely brilliant, helpful, and highly passionate and we had a great time. Even with the long drive this is a brilliant tour and well worth the cost and we absolutely loved it.

Very good experience with...

Arie_D, Apr 2024

Very good experience with our guide Sherrieff. He was very good and informative. He organised a nice restaurant for lunch, camel ride and Bedouin. All suitable for my 14 and 7 year old kids.

Memories of a lifetime trip to Cairo

Lauren_H, Mar 2024

We had a wonderful trip from Hurghada to Cairo & Giza. Right from the start we were picked up at our scheduled time from our hotel. There were two drivers who made us feel very welcomed, safe and comfortable on our journey. We travelled in an air conditioned van with 5 other people. The group is small which gives a more personalised experience. The drive was pleasant early in the morning and we slept until the rest stops for use of the toilet and can buy food and drink. Water and snacks were included on our vehicle journey also. Once in Cairo we first stopped at the Egyptian Museum of antiquities all tickets included. We met our lovely welcoming tour guide who was very knowledgeable and spoke many languages. Our tour guide also gave us useful tips on how to avoid the tourist scams and hustlers. He also best advised us on where to shop for souvenirs at a reasonable price, if you wanted to and no pressure to buy or do any other activity if you didn’t want to. He was unlike any other tourist guide made our trip run very efficiently and smoothly the extra knowledge and advice of Egyptian culture in the city of Cairo this made our trip so much more enjoyable. We stopped for perfume shop for 30 minutes you could try purfume and have tea or coffee but you are not obligated to buy anything. Afterwards we went for our included lunch at a buffet restaurant which was very good. Drinks are extra charge. Then we went to visit the pyramids of Giza and the Sphynx. Which is included ticket admission. If you want to as extra activity your guide will organise a camel ride Our experience I would 100% recommend! This was absolutely fantastic the men take very good panoramic pictures. Also horse and carnage is extra option. This is paid in cash Egyptian, 500 aprox. ( March 2024) We returned in good time. It’s a long day as expected from Hurghada from 2am to 10pm we would recommend to bring a neck pillow for sleeping and your own snacks and water. I would 100% recommend this tour experience.

It was only worth seeing the pyramids and getting along with other participants

Patricia_A, May 2026

I didn't like the way the experience was organized. The car is not comfortable to make a trip of so many hours and during the night. The guide in Cairo charged money for things that were already included in the reservation. I chose the option of having everything included and in the end I had to pay more 20€ per person directly to the guide to see a view of the pyramids that was included in the price, worse than that is that we went in a chariot pulled by horse, the guide didn't even go, and we still gave a slice to the owner of the chariot. What saved the trip were the other 2 couples who also went with our group, show us very well and they also felt stolen. The pyramids are worth seeing and the great Egyptian museum, but I recommend going to another company.

Dear Patricia Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take allegations regarding unauthorized charges and vehicle comfort very seriously, as this does not reflect our standard of service. However, after a thorough investigation of our passenger manifests and booking records for our Cairo tours, we have been unable to find any booking under your name or matching the specific details described. To help us address this internally and identify if there has been a mistake or a third-party mix-up, could you please provide your booking reference number, the date of your trip, and the name of the hotel where you were picked up? If you were indeed on one of our tours, we want to rectify this immediately. If there has been a misunderstanding and you traveled with another provider, we kindly ask that you update your review to reflect the correct company.

Superbe journée au Caire

Celi_H, Nov 2024

Superbe journée, nous avons tous vu, rapide mais nécessaire pour une journée. Trajet en bus de hurghada au Caire très sécurisée, un peu à l étroit mais c est le principe en connaissance de cause

No fue una agradable experiencia con el guía .

Hans_S, May 2024

Aunque fueron puntuales al recogernos en el hotel, la experiencia con el guía fue bastante desagradable: en primer lugar, solicitamos un guía en español, aunque hablamos inglés y alemán queríamos disfrutar la experiencia en nuestro idioma, el guía hablaba un mal inglés, en segundo lugar cuando el guía se unió al grupo en El Cairo, movió a uno de los clientes de asiento de la furgoneta de una forma poco educada indicándole "Ahora aquí iré yo", en lugar de pedir por favor ceder el asiento. Cuando entramos al museo de El Cairo fue bastante breve en sus intervenciones y no aportó información relevante pues estaba más preocupado por vender un viaje en barco por el rio Nilo y otro en camellos alrededor de las pirámides de Giza. El guía discutió con otro cliente por 100 libras egipcias durante el trayecto del viaje por el rio Nilo dañando totalmente el ambiente en el que se esperaba disfrutar, sinceramente mi pareja y yo no disfrutamos el momentoFue una experiencia desagradable tanto la discusión con el cliente como la insistencia de vender la experiencia de montar camellos cuando claramente se le indicó que no estabamos interesados.

Response from Host, May 2024

Estimado, le pedimos disculpas por el mal comportamiento del guía. Parece que todo estuvo bien excepto el guía turístico. Nos disculpamos y lo apreciamos. Deseamos que esté en Hurghada para brindarle una compensación satisfactoria. Prometemos que la próxima vez, contáctenos directamente. Le prometemos que esta guía no estará con nosotros en el futuro.
