Recommended - I had an unforgettable experience on the 1-day tour from Hurghada to Cairo, everything was impeccably organized. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the history of Egypt, especially when we visited the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. The drive was smooth and comfortable, and we were able to relax and enjoy the views along the way. We also had enough time to explore the Egyptian Museum, which was a highlight, showcasing the ancient treasures, including the incredible King Tutankhamun exhibit. Lunch was delicious, and the restaurant was perfect for a break before continuing the tour. The whole day was packed with excitement and learning, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see Cairo’s top attractions in a day!

Small group Journey to Cairo - Our adventure to Cairo from Hurghada was an absolute dream! The day started early with a comfortable ride with a small group only we was 6 persons, and as we watched the sun rise over the desert, excitement built for what was to come. Our guide, a passionate Egyptologist, filled the journey with fascinating stories about ancient Egypt, making the long drive fly by. As soon as we arrived in Cairo, we headed straight to the Giza Pyramids—and nothing could have prepared us for the sight of these ancient wonders. Standing before the towering pyramids, we were in complete awe. We even had the chance to go inside one of the smaller pyramids, which was an unforgettable experience! The Great Sphinx was just as impressive, its enigmatic gaze watching over the desert as it has for thousands of years. Next, we visited the Egyptian Museum, where we stood face-to-face with treasures from King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Seeing his famous golden mask in person was a surreal moment! Our guide walked us through the most significant artifacts, making history come alive with his storytelling. For lunch, we enjoyed a delicious Egyptian meal by the Nile River, with a stunning view that made everything feel even more special. Afterward, we had time to explore Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where we wandered through vibrant alleyways filled with spices, jewelry, and souvenirs. It was the perfect way to soak in the lively spirit of Cairo. The entire tour was perfectly organized, from pickup to drop-off, with plenty of time to explore each site. If you're in Hurghada, this trip to Cairo is an absolute must! It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget.

A Long Day, But Absolutely Worth It! - What an incredible day! It was a long one—waking up at 1 AM and getting back to the hotel around 11 PM—but it was absolutely worth it, especially for the price. The team was fantastic and ensured everything went smoothly. The only downside for me was the buffet lunch, which seemed to cater to every tour group in Cairo. It wasn’t really to my taste, but that might be because the food at our hotel was exceptional, and I can be a bit picky. One hiccup was the boat trip across the Nile—it was supposed to be included in the price, but our guide insisted we pay £10 each. However, I was really impressed that the company sent someone to our hotel the next day to refund the money, as it was taken in error. That level of honesty and professionalism really stood out! They even provided snacks for breakfast, even though we already had a breakfast box from our hotel—such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

The small group size was perfect - I had an excelent experience on the Cairo Tour from Hurghada, and I can't recommend it enough! The trip was expertly organized, and the small group of 6 people made the experience even better. We traveled in a comfortable mini-bus, which was spacious, air-conditioned, and provided a smooth ride for the long journey. Our guide, Mr. Mina, was absolutely fantastic. As an Egyptologist, he was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing the rich history of Egypt. His insights into the Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids of Giza, and the Sphinx were fascinating. At the museum, we had the chance to see incredible artifacts, including the treasures of King Tutankhamun, and Mr. Mina’s explanations brought everything to life. Visiting the Pyramids was a dream come true. The sheer size and grandeur of these ancient wonders are beyond words, and with Mr. Mina’s detailed knowledge, we learned so much more about their history and significance. The Sphinx was equally impressive, and we had plenty of time to take photos and truly appreciate the site. The small group size was perfect, allowing us to ask questions and interact with the guide, making the whole experience more personal and memorable. The mini-bus ride was comfortable and gave us a chance to relax between the sites. Overall, this was an unforgettable trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Egypt. If you want a well-organized, informative, and fun way to explore Cairo's highlights, this tour is the way to go. And if you’re lucky enough to have Mr. Mina as your guide, you’re in for a treat—his passion for Egypt's history will make this trip even more special!

Great day out.... so worth the early start! - What a great day, yes its tiring as getting up at 1am and returning at the hotel at 11pm but so worth it, especially for the price. The guys were great. I struggled with the mass produced buffet for lunch which seems to feed every tour in Cairo, but maybe because the food in our hotel was amazing and i'm a bit of a fussy eater. The boat trip over the nile was included in the price but the guide we had argued this point so we had to pay £10 each and i was so impressed that someone was sent to our hotel the following day to refund this money as was taken wrongly. Just shows how honest these guys are, they even gave us some snacks for breakfast on the way, although we already had a breakfast box from the hotel. Would totally recommend.

Pyramids of Giza - Brilliant experience, once in a lifetime. Long day - left at 1am, got back to the hotel at 11pm but so much was done. Met our tour guide Makthar who was ace, he met us at our destination, took us around the egyption museum, followed by a boat trip on the Nile (extra 10 euro) went to the perfumery then had lunch in a buffet restaurant. Finished the afternoon at the pyramids and Sphinx (around 4pm) Makthar enlightened us with lots of good information plus tips and tricks to stear away from 'lucky lucky men' Despite the long day, it was one to remember.

Slightly dissapointed - Lot of travelling - it took 8 hours to get from our Hurghada hotel to the Cairo museum. The way back took 6 hours. The extra fee we had to pay was 50 Eur (not 45 as mentioned in the description). During the trip we visited two shops which are not mentioned in the itinerary - Sultans Palace with perfumes and Papyrus Institute. In both they will present you a try to sell you their overpriced products. Best parts of this trips were: the Nile boat cruise, visiting of the pyramides and sphynx.
