5.00The most breath taking experience I’ve had up to date. Yes of course be aware when in Cairo city and the pyramids as busy on weekends, that said loving welcoming people. The Grand Cairo museum was something I couldn’t quite take in, the history and grand majesty of the place has dwarfed anything I’ve seen in my god given life. Thank you and shukran Cairo, until next time. Highly recommend it should be on your bucket list!

3.00We were supposed to leave at 1:30am. We were called at 12:50! Lots of stops on the road. The pyramids are always beautiful! The new great museum of extraordinary Cairo! We had not asked for stop perfumes and oils, papyrus and even less at the end of the day the organization without our agreement of a felucca ride!!! A motorboat with thunderous music and 30€ of rapine! Tourist trap! Our guide was friendly and connoisseur. Our drivers very kind and helpful. In the end, sleepless night. No meals out of lunch in a crowded, noisy and full of smells of kitchens to cut your appetite! Back at midnight after hours in an icy van... we both came home sick. Cough up the stops and the unplanned Nile ride added 3 hours to the trip! We are delighted to have seen the pyramids again and very pleased to have discovered the extraordinary museum!

5.00We had an excellent experience on this trip. Our tour guide Ibrahim Fouda did a fantastic job – he was very professional, knowledgeable, and well organized throughout the entire excursion. Everything was clearly explained, and we felt well taken care of at all times. We were very satisfied with the overall organization and service provided by FTS Travels. Based on this positive experience, we will definitely book with FTS again in the future and can highly recommend them.
Great (and long) trip

4.00The trip itself was very nice, and I am giving one star less only because of the transportation. The tour started at 1:40 a.m. After about 20 minutes, we stopped to form a convoy with vehicles from multiple travel agencies (around 25 buses, vans, and cars). This process took approximately 1.5 hours, and we finally departed at 3:30 a.m. One of the guides explained that vehicles are required to travel in a convoy for security reasons and that departure depends on police approval. Unfortunately, the van was quite uncomfortable. We arrived at the Grand Museum at 9:15 a.m. Aside from the transportation issues, the tour itself was excellent, and we really liked the tour guide. The return journey was smooth, and we arrived back at the hotel at 10:30 p.m. I noticed that some travelers complain about high prices at the restaurants during the stops. While prices may be slightly higher, there are very few places to stop during the 5–6 hour drive, and it seems that convoys are only allowed to stop at designated locations.

3.00The new Egyptian museum was the highlight of the tour. Our guide Hamdeen was kind in itself, but the extra stop at the perfumery to drain the money out of your pocket as well as the penetrating and intrusive rush to give “a 5 star” rating with proof... is very questionable for me.. and makes you doubt all the reviews. Unfortunately there was a lot of crowding.. which gave the whole thing a rather stressful touch. Would rather not. And maybe look for a more private provider.
