Get your guide app booking for a 1 day Hurghada to Cairo highlights tour. Provider Nice Tours. Well paced highlights of Cairo tour! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, he took time to speak to us, sing and dance with us and make it an enjoyable experience. Nice Tours were also very polite and responsive over WhatsApp for any questions and queries which makes travelling as a family reassuring. We were picked up at 1am on the dot from our hotel and reached Cairo around 730/8am with 2 restroom breaks and several police check points. I liked how they allowed ample time to explore the pyramids, sphinx. We were encouraged to purchase any souvenirs from a particular stand, for obvious reasons, they tried to charge a fortune but I declined and named my price, which they accepted. We had 30 min free time for rear view photos which I thought was too much. We had paid for the entry into the pyramid, which needed 20 mins tops. There wasnt anything in there apart from holes and rocks. It was a tick off a bucket list for my 8yo as we had been inside a real pyramid. We had a further 75 min free time next to the pyramids but only 10 mins at the sphinx. We were guided on the right side but the better views and photos would've been from the left. It was 1115 by this time. The perfume stop, seemed tideous as by this point we can gone over 16 hours without a meal, 6 hour journey and few hours walk around pyramids in the sun. The herb stop was slotted in well after lunch, short sharp and spicy. If the herb and perfume stop was substituted for a breakfast stop im sure many would agree or if the tour can be extended to allow a 30 min stop somewhere for a proper coffee and some light breakfast or a bakery. I understand the journey stops at 2x service stations but there is no time to use restroom and purchase food plus the quality is compromised and over priced. Also be prepared to pay 1euro or 50EP pp to use toilets at service stations. Finally we had lunch around 12noon. buffet lunch consisting of freshly made naan, salad, soup, lasagne, stuffed okra, rice, veg curry, bbq kebabs and chicken and for dessert kunafe. I wish they would label the food with an Item name and contents. For ease of dietary requirements and allergies. Next stop was the Antiques Mueseum around 1315. Self guided tour. We were given 1 hour which was adequate as a few areas were closed for refurbishment. Finally the 20 min boat ride on the Nile at 3pm. I found this a perfect way to end a busy day with the calming water and fresh breeze. We left Cairo around 4pm and reached Hurghada by 9pm. A full 20 hour trip. Well worth it! Paid around £238. March 2026. The alternative tour for the Grand Egyptian Museum would not allow time for entry into the pyramid, shopping stops and boat ride. So I booked this one for a more authentic Egyptian experience. Positives- punctual, fun packed, detailed, well paced, complete Cairo tour in 1 package Negatives- label food, breakfast

To flee!! I booked an excursion to Cairo from hurgada via Getyourguides on Tuesday for Saturday. No information was given to me by this operator. I had to restart myself to finally receive a message on Friday at 7pm announcing that there was no more flight (which is totally false) and so they invited me to cancel. What a shame! I finally managed to organize in a few hours a staggered Sunday outing via the hotel with a much more expensive rate necessarily given the urgency. Do not trust this totally disorganized tour operator, absolutely unprofessional, and who obviously totally mocks his customers.

I have never experienced such a poor organisation. Our tour to Cairo was cancelled only hours before the start. We asked about another date which should be two days later. Several times we asked if there is a guarantee that the tour is going to take place and the answer was the whole time that there is going to be no problem. Four minutes before the scheduled pick up time we received a message that the tour is cancelled. The comminication via Whatsapp was very difficult. They answer hours later and you can't be sure and rely on their promises.

The day tour was cancelled 15 minutes before the start. The reason given was an unexpected problem with the minibus. There was no substitute bus. After reading the many negative reviews on other portals, I doubt that the real reasons were given to me. I suspect the bus was overcrowded and I was sorted out as an individual. This is unprofessional.
