Traveler reviews
Conpletely unprofessional, unsafe, not as described
Just horrible experience, the transfer we agreed did not happen. Driver was 30minutes late at 01:50LT with no info of being late. After contacting our agent he reassured us driver is almost here or in 2 minutes he will be etc. Driver didn’t speak a word of english and we could’t tell if he was working for agency or not. Whole thing was shady and unsafe and considering these things we didn’t travel to Cairo. Avoid Egyptra at all costs.
Tour not as described — unsafe conditions
The agreed transfer by minivan from our hotel in Hurghada at 1:20 a.m. was not provided. The driver did not show up at the scheduled time, and only after contacting the agent we were told he was “delayed”. After waiting 30 minutes, a man arrived in a private car (not a minivan), without any identification or proof of representing the agency, and unable to communicate in English. For safety reasons, we declined to travel in those conditions. Would not recommend.
Fun, informative, spectacular views, caring staff
We got private transfer option and we had a very safe driver hassaan who was incredibly punctual and caring he got us stocked up on water and breakfast and drinks and checked in with us constantly to tell us what is happening at each point. Then we got to meet the tour guide who showed us around the egyptian museum.He Read hieroglyphics on each different ancient artifact and was incredibly informative he also bought us ice cream. We visited the pyramids of Giza where he took lots of cool photos for us. And the great sphinx. Amazing trip would recommend the nicest people ever
The good, the bad and the ugly
The good, the bad and the ugly. Small bus collected us. driver falling asleep at the wheel, then watching TV whilst driving at plus 70 mph (to and from Cairo). Cairo amazing! Would recommend. Rest of the trip the reps were taking us from shop to shop trying to sell us tat.
A trip worthwhile for many reasons
This is a long day but oh my goodness, so very worth it. The Museum was mind-blowing, lunch was nice and if course the Pyramids! I can't describe how emotional I was. Magnificent! Hotel pick up and drop off was spot on time. Fantastic, friendly drivers and a great guide whilst in Cairo. Sensational!
