The English speaking tour guide wasn't exactly English speaking and didn't give us any fact or information about the pyramid's, when he did have something to say he read off his phone to one person in the group and not addressing everyone with the information. There was ment to be the opportunity of entering a pyramid but the guide never offered us this experience and when we were in the museum he just wanted to rush us round and not let us stop and look. This was ment to be a once in a life time trip for myself and my children and we didn't learn anything or even get the whole experience.
Dear Joanne, Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Long journey on somewhat bad roads, in a small minibus. Poor conditions to get to sleep along the way. Our guide Sharif was nice, knowledgeable and skillful. The Pyramids were the absolute highlight, and the Great Egyptian Museum was also nice. Moderate lunch on a typical tourist trap. The tour also included a "mandatory" visit to a perfume/duff oil factory and a sale point for papyrus art, but without any buying pressure.

I recommend FTS 100%, the transfer from Hurghada to Cairo is tiring but that cannot be changed, the drivers Ahmed and Muhammed were very friendly and no unnecessary stops, only the safety legal ones and the breaks, driving fast but safe. Other than that we felt safe all the time and was taken care of. Our guide Sheriff we met in Cairo he is a friendly person, very knowledgeable, kind and with a great influence and shown respect. For the price paid we had amazing trip, well worth, with water, snacks, and a meal at a great tasty restaurant, enough time to see the main points in the GEM, pyramids and learn some of the local customs. I could write more but long story short, I will use FTS again, thank you Ahmed, Muhammed and Sheriff.

Late review, but this trip has been one of the best trips of our life. An unforgettable experience for both me and my partner. Rough journey from Hurghada, but this was already expected. Our tour guide was amazing and very patient. His jokes were great too 😂

This new museum is simply phenomenal. Hugeness, light and architecture, this museum is absolutely incredible in beauty. These huge bay windows overlooking the Pyramids, it's crazy. All Egyptian treasures are presented in a sublime way and very well explained. You have to book your tickets online and it's impossible to pay in cash. In short, this new museum in Cairo makes Egypt and Cairo an exceptional journey.
