Great trip, definately worth the price!! - The trip was great. We’ve seen everything that is actually worth seeing in Cairo & Giza. The guides was great, especially Mohamed (English guide). It turned out that he lived in Poland for a while, and speaks polish fluently. He actually helped me, when one guy next to the Piramides scammed me for a hat 😂 Very kind and helpfull person!! The lunch was nice too, worth the price. Altough, the bus trip can be seen as a long one, but it’s definately worth the views, and knowledge 🥰 Recommend 100% Jeśli ktoś jest z Polski i boi się, że nie zrozumie angielskiego przewodnika, nie ma się co martwić, Michał jest tutejszy, ale posługuje się polskim jak mało kto i na pewno będzie wam towarzyszył podczas wycieczki 😉 Polecam serdecznie, z całego serca. Wrażenia nie zapomniane 🥰

Cairo tour by bus. - A very hot July day with sand storms, but what a brilliant experience! So much packed in to the day for the price. Our guide Mohammed Hamdy was excellent - fun, informative and always a detailed answer to any extra questions we had. We felt very safe with him. Few tips : Take a fan for the museum - no air con. And toilet roll/tissue for the toilets. Thank you for a great trip!

Review! - Our guide, Hanan was really nice and clear! We were sick and she was really sweet and gave us some nice medicine. We saw a lot! We would like to get more time for the piramides instead of the other museums and stuff!

Mostly been good - It started very early, at our hotel we were picked up at 00:30. Then we stopped at hotels for about 1.5 hours to invite more passengers. Then we were about 10:00 in Cairo. For an additional fee of 20€ per person you could book a Nile boat tour as well as camel rides or carriage rides. First of all, there were two breaks on the way out. On site, we first visited the old state museum. Unfortunately one was chafed through a bit too quickly, otherwise it was quite good, especially the death mask of Tutankhamun was particularly fascinating. Then there was the Nile boat trip which could be booked for 20€ extra, drinks cost extra. We went on to the papyrus shop which was advertised as a place for production, unfortunately the topic briefly shown, then quickly moved on to the sales event (beware Scam). We continued for lunch (food included, drinks not!). The food was mixed, it didn't look particularly appealing, even tasted semi-good. Then to the pyramids, there was the camel ride paid for. Beware of extra payments to the camel drivers there too. Tipping for photos is ok, but don't pay too much! You could then sit down by the pyramids to touch them. A really exciting experience. Then we took the bus to the Sphinx. A really short stop for photos. Better hurry up there. Afterwards and thus also to the last stop we went to a perfume museum. Just like the papyrus stop, just a sales event to rip off. Be careful there, too. After we were done with it as well, we then headed back, on which there was even a break. All in all, the overall experience was quite good, even in value for money. I only criticize the sales events, both can really be saved, were not mentioned in our Booking Referral. Our tour guide was a very nice lady, was fun with her, nevertheless generally watch out for rip-offs (possibly also on the bus!). As I said all in all it was good, it was fun to see the attractions. But there may also be other providers that you can use. We paid from Hurghada 100€ per person. Feel free to compare it. Are nevertheless positively surprised. Not everything was good, but it was still good enough.

Important!!!! - Overall, the trip was very good, we saw a lot of things in one day and the tour guide was also very friendly!😍 5/5 Please note that it's an extremly long trip (for us it was more than 24 hours! but it is worth it!) BUT please indicate in the description that there are camel rides and horse-drawn carriages at the pyramids. I had the feeling that we had to choose one out of the two options, we chose camel riding, which we deeply regret. Please DO NOT support animal abuse and child labor ( kids work there)!!!!!!! P.s.: this tour is great, you should definitely go! But for the pyramids, it's better to walk around the area! No matter what they say, it won't be much longer.
