Incredible sights and history, very poor trip organisation. Not worth the price.

1.00Positives * The experience of these places is incredible * Our guide, Mo, was very knowledgeable and exceptional in his expertise * We met and travelled with a lovely family who experienced the same difficulties with the company as us Negatives * The pick up time from our hotel was changed 3 times in 24 hours * Transfers were not in an air conditioned vehicle. The vehicle was in a very old car, in poor condition with little to no suspension and an uncomfortable journey both ways * On arrival at Cairo Airport there was no tour guide or driver to meet us. Communication with the tour company was difficult and 7 of us were left waiting 60 minutes, being constantly pressured by taxi drivers before a driver appeared, telling us that he had overslept * The tour guide did not meet us until arrival at the first stop which was the pyramids * The itinerary included a visit to an oil shop and a papyrus shop … be prepared for the hard sell * Lunch was not “delicious lunch at a charming restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Pyramids, where you can relax and savor traditional Egyptian cuisine while gazing at one of the world's most iconic landmarks”. It was chicken and chips in a backstreet fast food restaurant in Cairo * We had been told by Hurghada To Go to be at Cairo airport for 16:15 for our flight back to Hurghada at 17:45. Our driver met us at 16:20 and drove at great speed and very erratically to arrive at the airport at 17:15. He spent the journey shouting and screaming at someone on the phone. 7 of us rushed to the check in desk and the gate to discover that there was no flight back until 20:00. There never had been a flight at 17:45 * One of our party contacted Hurghada To Go who responded that we were lucky to only have to wait another 2 hours. The flight left Cairo at 20:30 * We were picked up at Hurghada Airport by the same battered old car, and transferred back to our hotel at speed with the windows open (air conditioning) * This trip from start to finish was 20 hours, nothing like 10-12 hours as advertised In summary, the pyramids, the Sphinx and the incredible Grand Egyptian Museum are well worth a visit. However, the lack of communication and shambolic organisation by Hurghada To Go leaves us unable to recommend this trip which turned out to be exhausting and more than a little frustrating given the cost. A very unprofessional company.

5.00We had an unforgettable trip to Cairo! The Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and the lively Khan el-Khalili market were incredible highlights. Our guide Mena, an Egyptologist, was fantastic — knowledgeable, passionate, and made history come alive. The only small downside was that departure info came quite late, but overall it was a truly wonderful experience. Highly recommended!
Very well organized...

5.00Nice trip to get an overview of Cairo and Egypt history. There is so much to explore in Cairo that one day is not enough. During our one-day trip, we had an excellent guide, interested in providing us with a beautiful stay in Cairo. Well interested in Àgypt history, he answered us all our questions. We were a small group, and this was making it to a familiar event.
Amazing Cairo Tour from Hurghada by Plane

5.00We booked the Cairo day trip by plane from Hurghada with HurghadaToGo, and it exceeded all expectations, pickup was on time, the flight was smooth, and everything was well organized. Our guide was outstanding very knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Egyptian history. He made every site come alive, especially at the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum. We felt completely safe and well cared for throughout the day. The tour was well-paced, giving us plenty of time to explore without ever feeling rushed. The included lunch with Nile views was a lovely touch, and the whole day offered great value for the price. This tour is also very accessible, even for first-time visitors or families. If you're in Hurghada and want to see Cairo in comfort, this trip is 100% worth it. Highly recommended.

Great individual trip with Memphis Tours: Kairo, Assuan, Abu Simbel, Luxor, Rotes Meer

5.00We are back from a wonderful and very impressive individual trip to Egypt: Cairo, Aswan (+ Abu Simbel), drive on the Nile to Luxor, then for 4 days to Coraya Bay (50 km north of Marsa Alam) to Jaz Grand Hotel. The planning process with Esraa from Memphis Tours went optimally: great recommendations, short response times, very personal and dedicated contact. The organization was perfect: everything as agreed, punctual transfers, very friendly drivers and travel companions. The booked hotels and the ship on the Nile (DWA) have completely satisfied us and exceeded our expectations. Our German speaking guides - Achmed in Cairo and Osama from Aswan to Luxor - are great: we could ask anything, both have a very extensive knowledge of history and culture as well as a very pleasant and committed way of teaching. A big thank you to Memphis Tours! We can only recommend this agency.
Perfect
