Hurghada a El Cairo : Pirámides & Museo para visitantes primerizos

Our driver stopped to have a wee at the back of the bus which was pretty disgusting. We was told pick up was at 1:30 via message and then they showed up at 1am so we were not ready and they were quite aggressive on the phone call to our hotel room telling us to “come down now” which already set the mood for the trip. After that the itinerary said we have free time shopping however it was only their friends shops and we have noticed this with a lot of other trips you aren’t allowed to go into the shops you want they want you to buy thing off of their friends so they make money which I though was unfair. On this trip specifically we was taken to a perfume shop where perfume was just consistently put on us if felt so overwhelming and even then we went to the papyrus shop and what was supposed to be a learning experience turned into being haggled by the people that where trying to get us to buy something. We didn’t book the grand pyramid museum which the guide made us feel bad for and when the others paid for entrance into the small pyramid the tour guide put the money In his own wallet. I tried working out the conversion rate for the people we made friends with and the tour guide said “are you going to the small pyramids? No. So leave it alone” which just felt rude. Also at the end when doing the review at the end the tour guide also did that for us and watched us so it kind of felt like we couldn’t be honest. During the stops there was no communication of how long we would be there, how long we had. It also said on the booking we had that drinks for the ride but we wasn’t allowed to take our included drinks into the restaurant which was just water by the way so that just felt very scammy because then we had to pay extra. In the restaurant the waiter tried to add on money to everyone’s total which I can understand if it’s a mistake but to do it to the whole group individual is crazy. At the beginning of our pick up we was in the car for 20 mins and then there was a rest stop for an hour which didn’t seem right and we was sat there for so long while the drivers had a smoke and chatted o understand they need a break but we was left in the boiling van with no info as to what was going on. So overall it wasn’t a very good experience

Mohammed Amin was an excellent tour guide. We were lucky to have him as our guide, as he was very knowledgeable and kept us informed for the whole trip. Would highly recommend.

Good timing and understanding guide, thank you

Wonderful experience all trip

The tour guide was good, gave good tips, and also led us to one or two friendly shops. Had good ideas to make the excursion better. He says not by plane

Sarwat was amazing! Lovely trip, super knowledgable. Learned so much and more!

The day trip is worth it; it is a long drive, but compared to flying, it does not save much. The drivers were great and nice, and the German-speaking guide was able to tell us about the history the whole time. The lunch buffet is also good, but drinks are paid for separately. Since the program is quite full, you cannot dawdle too much, but that is okay too. On the whole, the history of Egypt can be explored in one day and is a must for every visitor.

Very nice staff, very good guide and everything was perfect

Salma was very nice and had a lot of Information about everything and she Made the Trip interesting

Salma was our guide for this trip, she is very knowledgeable and friendly, she smiled all through and made the trip very enjoyable. She took her time to explain in details the historical importance of each stop. And helped us with our photo spots as well. Our driver Kareem was also very friendly and made the travel time so smooth. 100% recommend this.
