Very good day.

Well organized and the minibus was good for the family trip. Very welcoming guide who allowed us to discover the Giza site and the GEM.

Gamil Hassan, super tour guide!

It was a really great excursion with our German-speaking tour guide Gamil Hassan👍🤗 Of course, you have to know that it will be a really very long and full day, but you are rewarded with wonderful impressions and information! The price-performance ratio is also simply unbeatable. We thank the BTE team, the bus driver, and of course Gamil Hassan👍 Lara & Angela

Booked as it was...

Booked as it was advertised as a small group, however the longest part of the trip is travelling on a full big coach, seats are allocated however we were made to move seats to accommodate a a couple of girls which resulted in us sitting in the back row of the bus where the seats are smaller and both myself and husband had no access to air conditioning for the journey making it the most uncomfortable journey ever, We were unable to sleep on the journey resulting in us being absolutely exhausted and soaking with sweat when we arrived at Cairo, the whole tour from pick up to drop off back at hotel was 24.5 hrs
