Very well organized tour to Cairo, to the Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. The guide spoke good German and started with a Nile cruise. This cost extra (10 euros per adult, children 5 euros). There wasn't really much to see, as Cairo doesn't have a skyline or outstanding buildings in the sense of that, at least not directly on the Nile (exception: Cairo Tower). But the guide tells a lot about the history of the city and Egypt and takes funny souvenir photos. The Nile cruise is voluntary, but the alternative is to wait an hour in the bus. And at this early hour, no other sights are open.
After that, the Egyptian Museum including Tutankhamun's gold mask. Before lunch (which was good, drinks cost 3 euros extra) we went to a sales show by a perfume dealer. I don't like that kind of thing, after all, I didn't book a butter cruise. I would have preferred to spend that time in the museum. But the staff were friendly and you weren't pressured to buy anything. After dinner we went to the pyramids and the Sphinx, simply spectacular. The guide was with the group the whole time and talked and explained a lot.

After lots of photos and impressions, we headed back towards the city, unfortunately this time with a stop at a papyrus dealer. The demonstration of papyrus production was actually interesting and here too, people were friendly and there was no obligation to buy. In addition, the area of the pyramids was already closed because of Ramadan. There was still time, so the guide took us to the oldest mosque in Africa and told us about its history and his faith. I found this extremely interesting. Then we went back to the airport.

Tip: Take small notes (Egyptian pounds, US dollars) with you as a tip (baksheesh), every service provider asks for this on the tour and it is also customary in Egypt.

The communication was great even beforehand, and the booking went smoothly. I started from Marsa Alam, and the transfer to Hurghada was super punctual. We were only a small group of seven people. The guide spoke good German and had a lot of information. The food was also very good. We also got a lot of tips about tourism and Egypt. There was enough time everywhere to take nice pictures. I personally thought the price/performance ratio was absolutely fine. Everything was very well organized. This day was absolutely worth it and I would repeat this trip anytime. I can recommend it without a bad conscience.

I organized a group of 14 people with them for the trip to Cairo from Sharm. They were very professional and timely in their communications to organize the trip. We were followed and instructed throughout the journey to Cairo both outward and return. In Cairo the guide who was waiting for us at the airport exit proved to be very professional, kind and witty enough. The day was organized by them down to the smallest details. On behalf of the whole group, I would like to thank our guide Ahmed Sawy who, in almost perfect Italian, delighted us with many historical notions, sometimes even funny. Well done and thanks
