Good bus and selected attractions. Fun English speaking guide, but there was a little too much focus on sales (selected stores) at the end of the day.

I did this tour on 13/01/2022. There's no blame to be made. We were caught on time at our hotel. Comfortable and air-conditioned bus. As the journey is in convoy, you drive with other coaches that make the same route as you. It's a long tiring road with a few stops. For a departure around 2:15 am, we arrived at the Cairo Museum around 9:30 am-09:45 am. When we arrived at the museum, we had an English-speaking guide (I had not specifically asked for a guide in French). Visit the museum with him, the Tuthankamun mask (sublime) and free time. Visit: + 200 le per person +50 le for photos Then turn on the Nile: 200 le per person. Not super surprising, but a good time relaxing Then visit the papyrus shop (30 minutes) with some explanations. We don't force your hand to buy so don't worry Then meal: +- 30 minutes: not top but edible; drinks paid Then visit the pyramids: 200 le per person/ A FAIRRRRRREEEEEE. It's beautiful. The guide takes your picture for free. It is possible to take a camel ride for 10 € per person to take "shots". it is really worth it We left the site around 5:00 p.m. Finally, visit a perfumery. Tea or coffee is served. We don't force your hand either. Return to the hotel around 1:15 this amounts to 1250 le plus for two people: = 92€ Tour paid 80€ for both Total 172€ We asked other people, they did quite the same trick The tour operator tui for example asks 200€ per person for the same whole
We had a great time, visiting Cairo and Giza. Especially the pyramids are wonderful to experience. We were not much interested in the perfum and papyrus shop. But it seems to be part of the whole tour. I would recommend this trip to everyone.
Very long day but there is no choice as the travel time is long. 2 rest stops on the way and one returning so it’s fine. Everything as described and well organized except there was no trip to bazaar but trips to papyrus factory and perfume factory as well. It would be nice to spend more time at the museum instead of the two factories as these are clear selling opportunities. The guide was fun and personable as well as knowledgeable. All in all a can’t miss experience.
Good moments! Thank you for all! It was a great day! For sure I ll repet the experience in my next trip in Egypt
A super nice trip, where everything was as they write in the description... However, you are "forced" on a trip on the Nile.. That is, they inform you have the possibility of it, but if you do not, you can just sit in the bus. The Egyptian Museum was a super experience with a super guide.. And the pyramids were just cool and look.. There are many small extra expenses along the way, only entrance you have to charge Ca 600 egp. You are offered a ride in horse wagon or with camel and even though it also costs extra, so do it, it was wildly fun, and got taken super pictures along the way. As for the bus ride, there's a break every way, and it fits super fine. Personally I could have spent a little more time on my own, the program is very tight, as there are also visits to a papyrus factory and at the perfume store, but also experiences we had not embarked ourselves into, so everything in general super fine..
Thank you so much for your nice words and for taking the time to write us a review. It gives us pleasure to know that you have enjoyed your time with us. We always keen to offer our guests the best service and all our tour guides are Professional Egyptology guides who work hard to meet our guests satisfaction.

Everything was perfect, organization, pick-up at the hotel, the very competent francophone guide and who gets you out of trouble with the sellers. A superb day that will remain unforgettable. We booked two excursions with Charming Egypt T, you can go there with your eyes closed 😀
