Fantastic Day in Cairo
Absolutely fantastic Cairo excursion from Hurghada! ✨ The early-morning flight was well worth it to visit the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. We finished the day with a beautiful sunset river ride along the Nile.
A special mention to our tour guide, Mr Falcon, who was brilliant, extremely knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more enjoyable by bringing Egypt’s incredible history to life.
An unforgettable experience that we would highly recommend! 🇪🇬

DROWNING ME WITH THE REVIEW, BUT TOUR WAS GOOD
He is forcing me to give five stars, the guide is next to me and won't leave me alone if I don't give five stars for everything, the tour isn't bad, I took the English guide because I understand some but not everything, but he was doing his own thing, he got angry because I didn't understand everything, he asked my partner if she was there for him or for me when she was just translating for me, in general I give it three stars, I don't know if I would do it again, and the fact that he is drowning me with the review now I don't find that very good, although he did take photos of us, the restaurant was good, you couldn't eat because of the people there. It is my experience.

Visit to the pyramids, the sphinx, and the GEM museum
Very beautiful excursion. Everything was very well organized. We had a private driver and Germaine, the French-speaking guide who was very professional and took great care of us. We thank them both.

Beautiful experience
Very good experience with our great French-speaking guide Raafat who explained the history of all the sites visited well to us. Great flight from Hurghada, that way there is less fatigue. The boat ride on the Nile is a must-do
