Cairo Day Tour by Bus from Sharm El-Sheikh

Do not book with this company they are scammers when we booked this we didn’t see the 20euro per person govermental fee then I got a message from the lady saying we had to pay for it we said what is it exactly for and they never gave us an explanation I had asked many people at the hotel if it was real and they told me it was a fake scam and they would pocket the money and so the lady over the phone didn’t speak a word of English we had someone at the hotel speak to her and translate for us but the lady on the phone was useless it was less than 24hrs before the trip so we couldn’t cancel it and she was being very rude and useless so in the end we had to pay it IF YOU BOOK WITH THESE LOT PAY ONLINE WITH CREDIT CARD AND THEN LATER ON REPORT IT TO YOUR BANK AND EXPLAIN TO THEM HOW IT IS A TOTAL SCAM. The governmental fee does not exist it is made up and so we went on the trip on the description it says the bus sets off at 1am we were sitting there till 3am that was ridiculous then we got to the museum which was nice and the Nile boat was nice then the shop they take you to with the pictures do not buy them there they will rip u off but them when u get to the pyramids it’s the same thing we got 4 of them for 2 dollars they were selling 1 at the shop for £15 Also when we got to the pyramids they told us we didn’t get entry tickets into the pyramid even though it says it’s included the tour guide ignored us when we called him over and then ran off the bus also it says 2hrs at the pyramids and they went to us you have to be back in 1 hour which was disappointing we didn’t get enough time there then after that at the Spinx we got 25 mins which wasn’t the right time on the description. On the way there are lots of scams and everything this company is terrible do not book with them if you would like to book with a legit person I found someone at my hotel who was trying to sell them for cheaper and better and no scams so I would recommend booking with someone from your hotel once you get there. Never booking with these lot again. 0 stars if I could give it.

Group was too big although they splitted into Russian, English and Italian language speakers group. English speaking guide was so so (don't remember his name). Recommended but not highly.

Fantastic experience, perfect and kind Italian guide. The trip is long but the bus is air-conditioned with comfortable seats and therefore as I travel at night so for the most part I slept. For lunch acceptable but no big deal

Everything was perfect Sometimes a little long waits We have carried out the whole program Not planned passage for the restaurant on the Nile For a family. This is a surplus And a little evasive to do it on foot But the ride was great

I would definitely visit the pyramids again but I would fly. There was a minimum of 5 hours worth of security checks and hold ups that made the journey longer than it needed to be. That said, it was a phenomenal and awesome experience.

Where do I start…. Pick up time was 12:00am yet we never left until 1:40am where a small van meant us to take us to the larger coaches. There were 15 coaches going to Cairo that night and we all meet a petrol station. Where we waited for other passengers to arrive and visa to be issued. As it was very late many passengers were sleeping and there wasn’t many seats available. We found one pair, yet the passengers in front had their seats reclined all the way down. We asked them to move there seat which they barely did, so I asked the guide for help which he was no help and said he couldn’t do anything. So we moved to the front which we then was told to move as it was the guide seats, yet 10 minutes after a couple sat in the same spot which we was very irritable and questioned why this was reasonable for them and not us. At this point I felt I wanted to return to the hotel and wanted to forget the trip altogether. I felt the guide was being very disrespectful and racial towards my partner and I. This all happened as we waited half an hour for the visa. We also asked for an English tour guide yet in could barely speak English. We sat will a bus full of Russian tourists and only two other British tourists. After my partner had a stern conversation with the guide we were able to seat in the seat we selected to begin with. I also felt that the guides were very sneaky as they said the only way to the restaurant would be only on the Nile. So they made as pay for a boat ride we never wanted to do. Yet the coach appeared on the another side of the road. I felt very annoyed and I couldn’t wait to get back to the hotel.

The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly seeing the Pyramids of Giza. Standing in front of these ancient wonders was awe-inspiring. Our English-speaking guide was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job explaining the history and significance of each site, which added great value to the experience. However, there were some downsides. The lunch provided as part of the trip was disappointing, with limited options. Additionally, while the excursion itself was well-organised, the experience at the Pyramids could have been smoother. Unfortunately, there were too many scammers around, which detracted from the enjoyment. At one point, a man approached me while I was taking a photo of my daughter and insisted on directing the shot, only to ask for payment afterward. This kind of behaviour was frustrating and took away from the joy of the visit. Another issue was the repeated requests for money. After paying the guide for a horse carriage ride, I was then asked to tip again for photos taken during the ride. The constant pressure to pay tips became exhausting and, in hindsight, left me feeling quite angry. It’s a shame because the sites themselves are incredible, but the experience is marred by these interactions. While the day trip from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo was amazing in terms of the sites visited, more should be done to protect tourists from being taken advantage of, especially at the Pyramids. I would still recommend this excursion to others, but I would advise being prepared for the aggressive tactics used by some individuals around the attractions.

Excellent organization, very prepared guide, very attentive to every need and bisogno.prezzo competitive, but rest assured, they offer everything that other tour operators offer but with higher price.lunch is included in the price and is both in quality and variety the same that is found in all hotels in Egypt.excursion recommended!

It was a very long ride by bus to Cairo. There we had a nice day with our helpful tourguide. We took lot of pics with camels and pyramids. Really it was a great work the old Egyptians did. Only late in the night we returned to our hotel. So if someone likes to spend more money to go by plane you can save lot of time and you feel more comfortable.

Indeed, it was a wonderful journey, and our guide, Amjad, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He tirelessly answered all our questions without any hint of fatigue or boredom. Truly, it was an exceptional trip in every aspect. However, upon seeing the pyramids, I was rendered speechless. It was awe-inspiring to witness how such a civilization could have constructed such marvels.
