Together with my dad

Together with my dad, we did the Cairo in 1 day excursion from Marsa Alam. We were picked up in Marsa Alam by the driver, and then brought to Hurghada. From Hurghada, we had the flight to Cairo. It was a very long day, but totally worth it! The tour was amazing, we’ve learnt a lot and the guide was also very nice and very knowledgeable. The communication with FTS Travel was also very good; the information was clear and the person was very kind. Overall, I would highly recommend this trip and to book via GetYourGuide (and then we came in contact with the local supplier of Agypten Ausfluge/FTS Travel). Very, very, very nice!

Very nicely organized id recommend this trip for People that want to go to Egypt and get the maximum out of their trip.

Travelling to Egypt but not seeing the pyramids

Travelling to Egypt but not seeing the pyramids and museums of Cairo seemed like it would be a missed opportunity. But Hurghada to Cairo by car is a long trek and I don’t think my kids would have tolerated it. Though an early start, the flying option was excellent. The tour itself took in all the major attractions, and having a guide is especially helpful in preventing too much extra attention from the people touting their goods or tour services. There was a bit activity / time dedicated to upselling as is typical on these tours - visits to places where clearly the intention is to give the proprietors a chance to sell you something. I typically dislike those but I loved seeing the pyramids and King Tut’s golden death mask so much as to simply ignore them.

I am so glad that my visit to Cairo was so smooth

The trip was just amazing! We were very lucky because my husband and I were the only participants of a group, so we had a private car with a driver and Russian speaking guide Mohamed. The schedule was very flexible with no rush and unnecessary shops; the guide gave us time whenever we needed it, for toilet, coffee break, smoking. We started our journey at old market, then we had a breakfast in the local cafe. After that we spent about two hours in the Cairo museum, and our guide provided us a lot of information about the history of Egypt and about every important piece of exhibition. Then we headed to Giza, and were wandering there for three hours. I would highly recommend entering the pyramid of Cheops; it was a breathtaking experience for me! After that we had a lunch time. I am so glad that my visit to Cairo was so smooth and comfortable, and I want to thank FTS Travel for well organised tour, and of course, kudos to our guide and driver. A few words about the things I didn't like. We were told that the assembly point in Hurghada would be near hotel Prima Life. In reality, we were circling around resort area for about 20 minutes, and no one could tell us where this hotel is at 3 am. It turned out that this hotel is still under construction, and it is located outside the gates of resort area Macadi. If the organiser had provided more details, we wouldn't have faced such troubles. The second thing is very late return flight to Hurghada. We finished our program at 4 pm, but our return flight was scheduled on 11pm. Thanks to our guide who advised us to kill time at Cairo Festival Shopping Mall, and our driver who was waiting for us and gave us a ride to the airport in time. It would have been better to have return flight at earlier time.

It was a really nice trip and worth it doing

It was a really nice trip and worth it doing it. We got picked up at 6 am at our hotel and went to the Airport in Hurghada. From there we flew to Cairo and our tour guide was waiting for us. Then we went for the Egyptian museum. Very interesting, lot uf informeration from our guide. Next stop was the Mainevent the Pyramids and the Sphinx. It was really interesting and who wants to can go inside the big le middle pyramid for an additional Fee. Around 4 or 5 we had lunch/dinner close to the Sphinx. Food was okay. After short stops at two shops we went for a cruise on the nile and our last stop was a Market in Cairo. After that we go dropped of at the airport in Cairo to catch our flight 10:30 pm. We landed at 11:30 pm in Hurghada and were brought to our hotel where we arrived at 00:30. It was a long day but I would highly recommend that trip.

This was definitely the highlight of our trip

This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Egypt. Our tour guide (Fahrwad - the spelling here is completely wrong and I apologize) was exceptional. I had the feeling he really wanted to show us everything in the city and had our best interests in mind. He gave us lots of tips about tipping culture, tourist traps to avoid, and a great overview regarding Egyptian culture and religion. Under his guide you feel you have priority service everywhere you go. We traveled with two children (8 & 9) and although it was a 19 hour day, they did well. Be aware, if you travel with children, they will need to be comfortable eating Egyptian food for lunch, sitting through an oils history and sales pitch, walking through a museum and not touching things, lack of sleep, and being flexible with the events and timing of the day. Also Egyptian bathrooms quite often ran out of toilet paper and also never had any means to dry your hands after washing them. If I traveled again I’d bring a roll of toilet paper in my purse.

We were a family of three and had a really good time on this trip.

We were a family of three and had a really good time on this trip. Pickup from hotel was on time, everything smooth with flights etc. Our guide in Cairo (Tharwat) was just awesome - did all the promised activities plus also threw in a few extra ones. He shared lots of insights for the city and monuments. Alongside seeing Giza and History museum, we went to papyrus factory, cruised Nile and even browsed Khan El Khalili market. Together with us, there were just two more people so it really felt private.

I highly recommend our tour!

I highly recommend our tour! If you want to see the most important sights in Cairo in one day We were picked up at 4am and flew to Cairo at 5am. Our guide met us and explained everything about Kauro on the way into town. Since we still had some time we visited the oldest mosque in Cairo before we drove to the Egyptian Museum. Then we took a boat across the Nile to The Restaurant. After lunch we visited Giza to see the pyramids and Sphinx. It is definitely worth riding camels to the lookout point so you can see all of the pyramids at once. In the evening we could enjoy a view of the pyramids from a roof terrace before returning home to the airport. I thought the visits to the papyrus and perfume shop were great. The people weren't pushy and the store had great organization and a great guide.

What a fantastic trip

What a fantastic trip. Well worth the early start. Couldn’t fault the guide. Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. I can highly recommend this tour. We were well looked after and everything was taken care of. We took our 13 year old son and he loved it. A fun filled packed day.

The tour was excellent!

The tour was excellent! Will was very helpful and informative. He looked after us well! From booking to getting plane tickets and meeting the tour guide all went seemingly well. Will also gave us a tour of Cairo en route to our destinations! Only negative point would be we didn’t enjoy the food, not much choice. We also had lunch for 12.30pm but our flight back to hurghada wasn’t till 10.30pm so we were hungry and tired by end of day. Will was nice enough to get us a crisp snack. Also the tour finished about 5.30pm so collectively as a group we agreed on a boat trip on river Nile as an extra activity for extra charge. Couldn’t fault Will at all though! We hope to see him again if we visit Egypt again! Thank you!

A breathtaking view and a great foto-op.

Our guide Hussein was an absolute gem! He was kind and funny and so well versed in the history: we loved the way he brought ancient history to life with his words. After our first stop at the Egyptian museum, we decided to go to the Pyramids and the Sphinx first instead of having lunch. Hussein gave good advice on which parts of the attractions to avoid because they weren't worth the money and which ones not to miss. The camel ride to the lookout point was definitely one of latter. A breathtaking view and a great foto-op. We were glad that we visited in off-season: Though it was hotter, there weren't that many other tourists around, but even then the area around the sphinx was very crowded. After having dinner we decided against visiting the Bazaar and let Hussein take us to Sheik Abdul Perfumes Palace. We were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and the insightful talk with the two charismatic brothers who are the owners of this generations-old business. Because there was still time left, Hussein showed us around his home-part of Cairo, where we got to experience a slice of life that you normally don't get to see as a tourist. We can't recommend this trip enough - it was a packed day which was made great by our amazing guide!

The tour was well organized

The tour was well organised and we were able to see the Cairo highlights in a nicely compressed day. Communication was good, our guide was lovely and knowledgeable and the minibus driver went out his way to make sure our children kept cool throughout the day (temperature was high so this was much appreciated). Except for the Cairo Museum, the other attractions weren’t too crowded and we had plenty of time to walk around, take photos and just take everything in. What I could have done without was actually the perfumery (our last stop). I didn’t mind going to the papyrus place but as we were flying, there is not much point in buying liquids that may have to be thrown away before we are allowed to board the plane. Otherwise all went well. I appreciated the cold drinks on board.

What a fantastic tour!

What a fantastic tour! Will was our personal guide and he was really friendly! He showed us more then "just" the touristic points. He took care of our family of 4 and he is a real family man! He made us really comfortable and he went the extra mile to make our day unforgettable! We got to see the pyramids from all kind of viewpoints and also showed us where to be extra careful. His English is really good and he is always smiling so that makes this a perfect trip. Guided by a man who is passionate about explaining the history of Egypt so there is nothing I can imagine that could make this trip any better. We left Caïro with a lifetime full of memories. Even our kids payed attention to his way of explaining things, so they will remember Egypt in a special way full of learned facts. @Will and his team: thank you very much for your effort! You made our day!
