Cairo to do at least once
A magnificent discovery of Cairo! A fascinating city, full of history, culture, and life. Between the impressive pyramids, the historical monuments, the markets, and the lively streets, every moment is a change of scenery.
A visit rich in discoveries and emotions, with a unique atmosphere that one does not forget. Cairo really deserves to be discovered at least once! I highly recommend this experience. ✨

Terrible tour guide
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.
We are genuinely sorry to learn that your experience did not meet the expectations you had for such an important and memorable trip with your children. A visit to Cairo’s iconic landmarks should be both informative and enjoyable, and we regret that you felt the guiding service fell short in delivering this experience.
We take your comments regarding the guide’s communication, the presentation of information, and the pace of the museum visit very seriously. Our goal is always to provide engaging and informative tours that allow guests sufficient time to appreciate the historical sites and exhibits.
Regarding entry into the pyramids, this activity is subject to separate ticket availability and guest preference, and we regret if the available options were not clearly communicated during the tour.
Your feedback has been shared with our operations team for review, as we are committed to continuously improving the quality of our services and guest experience.
Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We appreciate your visit and hope you enjoyed the incredible monuments themselves despite the shortcomings you encountered.
Kind regards,
FTS Travels Team

Long trip, but a nice experience
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.

Hurghada to Cairo, GEM and pyramids
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.

Best experience ever
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 😂
