Uncomfortable but really worth it - Really good, enjoyed a lot, just couple of things to bear in mind is it took us more then 24 hours, pick up was at 1pm and we were dropped back at 1:30pm next night. They just added one extra point which was opposite to pyramids (an oil shop) which was really not needed and it wasted our 40 mins. Also seats don’t have any facilities to keep the things like water bottles or snacks which can get annoying with kids. Overall it’s really good for price.

A must have experience - We booked this tour using viator. The bus picked us up at 2.35am from our hotel, the tour operator messaged via whatsapp beforehand and was very informative, relaying information in a timely manner and answering all my questions. In addition, one of our group were not able to come. The company were so good in helping us to amend out booking. We then travelled 6 hours to Cairo, stopping at Zafarana for a break. The drive wasn't too bad, did have a few rough patches, but all in all wasn't bad. We got to Cairo early morning, and mwt our tour guide Hana, and she was amazing! Really informative and made sure everyone was happy. We got to the museum, and she had so much knowlege, we then went on the nile trip, thereafter we went to the perfume store, and then the sphinx and pyramids. The museum was really nice, albeit couldn't enjoy as much as it was really busy, and alot of people, so alot of pushing and shoving, but Hana kept us all in check and ensured she kept the group moving. The Nile trip was a nice touch, it was enjoyable after being on a bus journey for over 6 hours. The perfume shop was nice, smelling different smells, and was just nice to relax for a bit. The main attraction was the sphinx and pyramids. We opted for the horse and carriage, although it was a bit of a trek to get to where the horse and carriages were, once there, the views were breathtaking, and just seeing history in person is so different to seeing it via pictures. When we came back to the bus Hana made sure we enjoyed the experience and were happy. Thereafter we had lunch, and it was good! Hana made sure all needs were met, my husband really enjoyed the mango juice and asked if he can have a bottle of it, Hana immediately translated and got a bottle for him. The meat and chicken was amazing too! Finally the papyrus factory, by this point we were so tired, so some of our group went in whilst some stayed behind on the bus, was only a short stop. Finally bus journey back, again 6 hours with a stop in Zafarana. If there was room for improvement, I would ask that there be a break for breakfast when arriving in Cairo. We arrived at 8.30, and there was no break for breakfast, so we couldn't have the food we got from the hotel, or even an announcement to say that we'll be arriving in Cairo 30 mins before hand so that guests could have breakfast. As we had children with us, we were really hungry by the time we had lunch which was actually at 4pm, so the kids were hungry! But other than that, the trip in itself was fantastic, and I'd definitely recommend Hana, really sweet and friendly! Always making sure her guests were happy!

Amazing day and a nice guide! - It was an amazing day and experience! The bus came to our hotel 01:30 in the morning and picked us up without problems. We slept all the way to Cairo (7 hours). The bus was big and nice, the only thing that was missing was tables at the seats, to eat your food and toilet paper, so remember to bring your own. Our guide Hannah was really nice and gave good information and stories! The pyramids were amazing! And also the lunch place and the nile trip! On the way back to Hurghada the bus had a 1-hour stop so you could buy dinner. I really recommend this trip!!

Amazing Experience - Amazing experience! Our tour guide Ayman was absolutely fantastic. The whole trip itself was very long but worth it, the bus journey had plenty of stops for toilet/drink/stretch. Ayman kept us informed of everything and made us feel very safe. The pyramids were breathtaking as was the sphinx. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of going. My only advice is take a hoody/blanket for the morning if your travelling in February for the bus. 10/10 Trip!

Unforgettable trip - It was a great trip. Both the drivers and the guide were very friendly and helpful. Thanks to the guide we learned a lot, he was also very helpful when it came to tourist attractions, such as camel riding. Highly recommended ! The restaurant where we stayed for lunch was also very good.

Trip to Kairo - Mohammed was an excellent guide on our trip. We always felt safe and learned so much along the way! The bus ride was long, with several unnecessary stops that made the journey to Cairo take even longer. However, despite the extended travel time, the experience was absolutely amazing and definitely worth it!

Cairo one day trip - Loved all aspects: Cairo, Mosque and church, pyramids, sphinx, Nile cruise and perfume shop! Museum was fantastic as was our tour guide! Really enjoyed lunch and there was plenty of it! Bus was hard work. With regards to air con and curtains these were fine!! However seats were not! Seats could lever backwards! This worked if everyone leaned backwards! This was not the case! Some people, including me preferred to sit upright! When lady in front pushed backwards I could hardly move and my legs were trapped!! Asked her to move forward but she was unresponsive and rude!! Getting in and out of seat was practically impossible!! A safety issue if the bus had to be exited quickly!! Bus was full so no other seats available to move to!! Think passengers should be instructed not to move seats back because not everyone is comfortable sitting like this and getting in and out very difficult!!

I strongly advise against this excursion! - The bus was not conformable, it was not that bad looking at the day. We didn’t do much, we spent a lot of time in perfume and papyrus shops to buy a product. Tourist scam. We were disappointed, we did not have much time to stay at the pyramids. The camel ride was very distressing by the harassment of the camel guides who threatened to provide them with a tip. A shame. To flee for this excursion.
