• 4A must-do

  The trip from Hurghada is very long and can be tiring. By Egyptian regulations, all tourist vehicles must stop at a security checkpoint shortly after leaving Hurghada and wait for their assigned convoy. If your van is behind many buses, you may miss your convoy slot and have to wait for the next one, which adds to the travel time. Our guide, Mansour, was fantastic—very friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer every question. We really enjoyed learning from him. We had enough time at the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum to explore and take photos without feeling rushed. Despite the long journey, the trip was definitely worth it.

• 2Poor!

  Advert says small group of 8 people max but there was 13 people on our bus and we joined with another group so there was close to 30 people in our group, Egyptolpgist guide was constantly on her phone taking phone calls and repetition the same information again and again, we only had 1 break to stretch our legs on the return journey and it was after 5 hours so we all had cramp. Minibus is very uncomfortable and packed. Guide rushed us from one area to the next not giving us the stated time at each location. Barely had time to take photos and didnt have time to go inside the pyramid because of this. Overall poor experience and would not recommend!

• 3Friendly driver but felt rushed at pyramids

  Collected at 1.20 returned by 11.30 so a very long day. Staff are friendly and helpful but on the way there we had so many breaks which are it take alot longer. There was only 2 groups so no idea how they can say it 16-18 hours when realistically took 22 hours. Museum very rushed, nile trip was really good, random stop at perfume oil place which we felt very intimidated to buy something and when we didn't there attitudes changed. Lunch wasn't very nice at all and plates were dirty. The pyramids are rushed and if you want good pictures you have to either get a carriage ride or camel ride which costs extra but you have no choice and I don't like supporting animal abuse. I felt really ill at the end think possibly sunstroke and there was no concern just interested in selling us things.
