Could be good

The visit itself as well as the guide were pleasant. The explanations from the Egyptologist were interesting. However, the bus rides were horrible. A journey that normally takes 5 hours took 9, coffee breaks of 20 minutes turned into a meeting of drivers who smoked hookah together for over an hour, stops to do their shopping, an uncomfortable bus, and the organizers who do not allow you to change from the seat they assigned you, even if other seats become available. All of this means that you spend over 25 hours, most of it on a bus, you have little time for visits, and you end up having to rush through the explanations. If you want to fully enjoy your experience, do not hesitate to spend a little more and go by plane. You will truly have time to visit and you will preserve your back and your sleep.

Operator response

Cher client, Nous vous remercions d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience et sommes heureux d’apprendre que vous avez apprécié la visite, les explications de notre égyptologue ainsi que le programme proposé. Nous sommes toutefois désolés d’apprendre que le trajet en bus n’a pas répondu à vos attentes. Le voyage entre Hurghada et Le Caire est un trajet longue distance qui dépend de plusieurs facteurs indépendants de notre volonté, notamment les contrôles de sécurité obligatoires, les conditions de circulation et les arrêts réglementaires prévus pour la sécurité des passagers. Concernant les pauses et l’organisation du transport, nous prenons vos remarques très au sérieux et les transmettrons à notre équipe opérationnelle ainsi qu’à notre partenaire de transport afin d’améliorer davantage l’expérience de nos clients. Nous comprenons parfaitement que certains voyageurs préfèrent privilégier le confort et gagner du temps en choisissant l’option en avion. C’est d’ailleurs une alternative que nous proposons également pour ceux qui souhaitent profiter d’un rythme de visite plus détendu. Nous vous remercions encore pour votre retour constructif, qui nous aide à améliorer continuellement la qualité de nos services, et nous espérons avoir l’occasion de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’une prochaine excursion. Cordialement,

most tiring and uncomfortable journey!

we were asked to change 2 busses during trip to cairo from hurghada .. there were soo may passenger collection stops on the way and it made journey from 6 to 9hrs, The second coach which we were transfered to was very old from inside .. seats were broken and most uncomfortable.. Bus was very stinky and smelled like toilet.. my kids couldnt sleep and we were all awake and then had a very heavy day in cairo.. There was no need for transfering us from one bus to another .. as we later saw both busses were in Cairo.. we had hassle and hence wasnt kids friendly despite paying extra in bus as was asked by travel company on whatsapp to bay extra for pick and drop from hotel although on website wmit was not mentioned 🥺 it was suppose to be nice exciting and exploring day but the travel service broken seat and rude staff made it very tiring

Operator response

Dear valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. First of all, we are sorry to hear that some parts of the transportation experience did not meet your expectations. We always strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable excursion for all our guests. We would like to clarify a few important points regarding the trip: • The Cairo excursion from Hurghada is a long-distance journey for each way. Travel time can vary depending on traffic conditions, security checkpoints, and passenger pickups from different hotels along the route. • The transfer between vehicles was part of the transportation logistics organized by the operating company on that day. This procedure is occasionally necessary to optimize routes and ensure that guests from different areas can join the excursion safely and efficiently. • Regarding the additional transfer charge, this was not a charge for the excursion itself, but for the hotel pickup and return service from your specific location. This information was communicated and agreed upon before the reservation was finalized. • We understand your concerns regarding the condition of the second coach. While transportation is provided by licensed local operators, we have forwarded your comments regarding the seats, cleanliness, and comfort directly to the transportation department for review and improvement. We are pleased that despite the transportation concerns, the excursion itself included the full Cairo program, professional guiding services, visits to the Pyramids and historical sites, and all services that were advertised and booked. Guest feedback is extremely important to us, and we appreciate your comments as they help us improve future experiences. We sincerely hope that the memories of Cairo's incredible history and monuments will remain a positive highlight of your visit to Egypt. Kind regards, Customer Support Team

Fabulous day trip!

Hanna was an absolutely amazing guide; she was patient, considerate and knowledgeable. The day is long, leaving the hotel at 00:30 and not back until midnight but well worth it. It’s really well organised and an absolute steal for the price. Would highly recommend!

Air-conditioned bus trip to the pyramids with museum, churches, and culture.

First of all, a big compliment to Mansour, our guide in Cairo. He is very nice and friendly, can engage the group, and knows all the exciting facts about historic Cairo and its buildings. Our excursion was fantastic! Starting from the pickup at the hotel to the transport to Cairo and the return trip. Everything went wonderfully, and the bus was very clean and comfortable. The visit to the old Egyptian museum was a lot of fun, as was the trip to the hanging church and the oldest mosque (this only works on Fridays!) A small Nile cruise (10€ per person) was also offered for those who wanted it. The best part was the trip to the Pyramids Plateau in Giza. Around 3:00 PM, we were there and had the Pyramids and the Sphinx all to ourselves. There is a deduction for the Mawlana BBQ "restaurant." This dive that calls itself a restaurant is an absolute disgrace! The cheapest, reheated cafeteria food, overpriced drinks, and staff constantly asking for tips for napkins, toilet paper, and glasses, along with dirty restrooms, were the absolute disgrace. Improvements need to be made here, or a better restaurant should be booked for the customers. Great trip, great team, fantastic tour guide, memories for a lifetime! Aside from the aforementioned lunch, it’s 9.5 out of 10 points. Top-notch! We were very satisfied and felt very safe.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie mit unserem Guide Mansour, dem Team und dem Ablauf des Ausflugs rundum zufrieden waren. Es ist großartig, dass Sie die historischen Sehenswürdigkeiten, das alte ägyptische Museum, die hängende Kirche, die älteste Moschee und besonders das Pyramiden-Plateau in Gizeh so genießen konnten – insbesondere den Moment, die Pyramiden fast für sich alleine zu haben. Wir bedauern, dass das Mittagessen im Mawlana BBQ Restaurant nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Ihre Anmerkungen zu Sauberkeit, Service und Qualität der Speisen nehmen wir sehr ernst und werden diese direkt mit unserem Partnerrestaurant besprechen, um sicherzustellen, dass künftige Gäste eine bessere Erfahrung haben. Es ist schön zu lesen, dass Sie sich während des gesamten Ausflugs sicher und gut betreut gefühlt haben. Ihr positives Feedback zu Mansour und unserem Team werden wir gerne weitergeben – solche Rückmeldungen motivieren uns sehr. Vielen Dank nochmals für Ihre Rückmeldung und die Empfehlung. Wir freuen uns, wenn wir Ihnen auch bei zukünftigen Reisen unvergessliche Erlebnisse bieten dürfen.

Long but godd

Long bus journey, forced to go to spice shop. And alabaster shop. The highlight of the trip was the pyramids and camel 🐫 ride. Very long day, exuseted, very hot. BUS HAD TOILET BUT NOT ABLE TO USE.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that visiting the pyramids and enjoying the camel ride were highlights of your experience. These iconic attractions are the main focus of the excursion, and we are glad they met your expectations. We understand your concerns regarding the length of the journey and the hot weather conditions. Due to the significant distance involved and local traffic conditions, travel times can be lengthy, particularly during peak tourist periods. We recognize that this can make for a demanding day, especially during warmer months. Regarding the visits to the spice and alabaster shops, these stops are included as part of the cultural program to provide guests with insight into traditional Egyptian crafts and products. Participation and purchases are entirely optional; however, we appreciate that not all guests find these visits equally enjoyable and will take your comments into consideration when reviewing the tour itinerary. With respect to the onboard restroom, while the coach is equipped with toilet facilities, their availability may be restricted during certain journeys due to operational, hygiene, or maintenance requirements. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused and will raise the matter with our transportation provider to ensure clearer communication for future guests. We sincerely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement while maintaining the key experiences that make this excursion unique. Thank you for traveling with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.
