    The tour itself was excellent. Amazing good (Ahmed) who had lots of knowledge and was great at getting us places when it was quieter. I would have given it full marks if it hadn’t been for the timing. The description says 18hours but it would be impossible to do this in 18 hours. It took 23! This would have been fine if I had been prepared in advance but the description is very misleading and we had something booked first thing next morning thinking we would’L be back before 9pm!

    Loved the whole experience apart from the hotel where we stopped for lunch the food was very basic and not very hot and very limited choice and felt rushed as the queue was quite long as there was obviously hotel guests eating there to. Would have been better if we had a separate room in which to eat

    Did not like rude people on coach. I did think at one time a fight would break up with people squabbling for front seats. Guide sorted situation out but uncomfortable for others on coach. Guide was exceptional and took care of group and squeezed so much into day,museum pyramids camel ride and trip on Nile. Long trip of 24 hours! But worth it

    So einen schlechten Guide habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gehabt im national Museum wurde man nur durchgescheucht man bekommt keine Zeit zum anschauen. Der Guide geht nicht auf die Leute ein erzählt nichts über die Geschichte von Ägypten usw. Das beste ist noch das er die Frauen und jungen Mädchen immer mein Schatzi nennt und immer sie angefasst hat das geht garnicht. Der eine Busfahrer hat auch ein junges Mädchen abgegraben unter aller **********. Schämen sollten die sich.

    Zu wenig Zeit im Museum. Bei der Rückfahrt kein gutes Mengent. Waren insgesamt 25std unterwegs. Da wir in Sahl Haschisch sind der weiteste weg und wurden als letztes zum hotel gebracht das hätte sich auch anders lösen lassen da der Transfer am Ende je mit Auto gemacht wurde.
