• 1Terrible tour guide

  The English speaking tour guide wasn't exactly English speaking and didn't give us any fact or information about the pyramid's, when he did have something to say he read off his phone to one person in the group and not addressing everyone with the information. There was ment to be the opportunity of entering a pyramid but the guide never offered us this experience and when we were in the museum he just wanted to rush us round and not let us stop and look. This was ment to be a once in a life time trip for myself and my children and we didn't learn anything or even get the whole experience.

• 5Hurghada to Cairo, GEM and pyramids

  I recommend FTS 100%, the transfer from Hurghada to Cairo is tiring but that cannot be changed, the drivers Ahmed and Muhammed were very friendly and no unnecessary stops, only the safety legal ones and the breaks, driving fast but safe. Other than that we felt safe all the time and was taken care of. Our guide Sheriff we met in Cairo he is a friendly person, very knowledgeable, kind and with a great influence and shown respect. For the price paid we had amazing trip, well worth, with water, snacks, and a meal at a great tasty restaurant, enough time to see the main points in the GEM, pyramids and learn some of the local customs. I could write more but long story short, I will use FTS again, thank you Ahmed, Muhammed and Sheriff.

About Hurghada

Hurghada is a Red Sea resort town on Egypt's mainland coast, loved for its coral reefs, warm water, desert excursions and easy beach days.

The town stretches along the shore, from the older district of El Dahar with its souk and fish market to the marina at Sakkala and the resort strip to the south. Offshore, the reefs and islands of the Red Sea teem with colourful fish and coral gardens, and dolphins are sometimes seen, making snorkelling and diving the main draws.
