Great. - Hello we went to see the pyramids by bus with Book tour Egypt we were delighted I went with my husband and my two boys of 9 and 4 years everything went well French Guide (Marhous) on site just for us. Very attentive and kind with the children 😉 only downside of the excursion the bus ride which is really very long 10h go and 10h return ( Pick up from other Pension , toilet breaks etc ). On site visit to the Egyptian museum, papyrus factory, pyramids (don't buy the entrances into the pyramids it's expensive and there's nothing to see ....! ) Sphinx ..And finally Perfumery ..
Trip Tip Take some money with you! For your drinks and souvenirs

Seamless journey - This is not something to over think. This is cheaper than going by air and it is a seamless journey. You are picked up at your hotel gate in a shuttle bus and taken to a station where you are transferred to a comfortable air conditioned coach.
Once on board there are a few stops but you only NEED to get off once.
On way back they stop to allow you to get some food and if it is the shawarma place I highly recommend it.
For this being a local independent agency this is a well
Organised trip. You will not regret it.

Most amazing day - Absolute amazing day that my friend and I had! Albeit the journey was lengthy, but we were warned about that and continued to do it anyway. The bus(es) had wonderful air on and we came away from the day feeling as if we had gained so much more than a day out in Cairo - we were fed lots of knowledge and the views of the pyramids and the Sphinx was so surreal! We wasn’t hustled much at all during the entire journey and the lunch was delicious! If I could give more than 5* I would. Also, special shout-out to our guide Farme (?) who took amazing care of my friend and I went to great lengths to ensure we had the best day possible. Please book with them :)

Truly amazing experience. - This coach trip was a very long ride from Sharm to Cairo met our wonderful tourgiude Mario was truly amazing his passion and dedication was superb so knowledgeable about Egypt.
We were treat first class and covered so much The Pyramids Of Giza the Museum a Nile Cruise then lunch and visited a perfumery and place which demonstrated how paper was made and is still used today dating back thousands of years.
There were only 4 in our group which was great meaning we got the best service from every angle.
A huge shout out to Mario and his colleagues who made us so welcome.

Best day - Honestly the best experience ever! The coach is long but tbh we slept most of it on the way and on the way back so wasn’t too bad. Once you get there you get out into smaller groups and was lovely as there was only 4 in our English group so we teamed up with the Italian group which also had 4. Our tour guide Behary was the best guide you could ask for! He was attentive, funny and went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. I felt much safer going around with Behary. We saw so much in one day so would recommend for a whistle stop tour of some of the best places in Cairo. Definitely recommend

Avoid this trip. Take lots of money. - I would absolutely avoid this trip. We was away from our hotel for 29 hours. 22 of those hours we spent on a cramped bus.
When we arrived at Cairo we was then rushed around the main sights and monuments because the guides just want to get you to the perfume and papyrus outlets in order to get your money.
We left hour hotel room at 23:00 on Sunday night and returned back to our room at 04:00 on the Tuesday. 80% of that time was sat on the bus. But not travelling anywhere. A terrible experience.
