    Terrible. Unorganized. Pay for services advertised but not provided.

    Nathaniel_P, Nov 2025
    Three main takeaways from this experience: 1- use a credit card on Viator or as much as you can on the trip. This will give you leverage if a dispute arises with services or product purchases. 2- Egypt is actually VERY easy to navigate on your own. Trips, rides, planes, buses, and temple visits are also VERY easy to book and you don't need to follow a big tour like this to do it all. Would save a significant amount planning on your own leaving more money for fun, gifts, or additional travel. 3- Viator always sides with the tour operators if there are any problems or services not provided. They will back up fraudulent tour companies making promises they can't keep and ripping off customers. Lie: a small intimate group tour using a minibus with no more than 8 people. Lie: you will by guided by an Egyptologist. Lie: scenic lunch with pyramids in view. Lie: you will visit papyrus making place. Fact: the tour was a stressful busload of over 40 people packed onto a big coach bus with degraded A/C, limited room to relax, and no information given from guides. Fact: tour guide seemed to be notified early that morning about a tour. Stop at pyramids, sphinx, and boat ride included a brief (under 3 minute) explanation of the sights and you are cut loose to wander on your own with a time to return to the bus. Exception was the GEM which actually felt like an organized guided tour for an hour with another hour to wander on your own. Fact: you will eat lunch several km away from the pyramids on a random street in the city. Additional note: do not do the boat in Cairo. Don't. You circle around the bay, see mostly rough looking buildings, the boat engine is a annoyingly loud uncovered, smokey mess, and the boat is blasting Latin music like Gasolina by Daddy Yankee, Taki Taki by DJ Snake, and the Tiatanic song on worn out speakers. Keep in mind- this is the first activity at about 0800am after a 7hr+ bus ride that started at 0100am.
