    Overall, I enjoyed the program prepared by the tour guide. The guide was very informative, attentive, and contributed positively to the overall experience. However, there were a few aspects that fell short of expectations. The camel ride, which was advertised as lasting 30 minutes, appeared to be significantly shorter—perhaps only half that time. This was disappointing, as it did not match what was described in the itinerary. I also found the constant emphasis on tipping somewhat uncomfortable

    Tour was good, staff great, was advertised as 18 hours but from leaving to back at hotel for us was 25 just too long. There's an argument that the museum at the end of the tour is just too much, but at the same time would be disappointed to miss it.

    The visits to each site were good in their own right but the overall visit was compromised by the journey to and from Cairo. For example, the coach was particularly uncomfortable due to insufficient leg room, exacerbated by reclining the seats. I don't seem to recall the journey time being clearly communicated at the time of booking since it took nearly 23 hours instead of the advised 18.

    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!
