Enjoyable helpful and informative - Our first experience in Egypt and our tour guide Mario was very informative and helpful throughout the whole tour made it very enjoyable. The driver was good and on time very helpful and patient with my family as my mother in law cannot walk for long periods of time. I very much would recommend having a tour guide and private transfer as it made everything easier especially if you're doing it as a family.

Tiring but extraordinary experience! - Departure from Sahl Hasheesh, they picked us up from the Resort by car and took us to Hurghada where the bus was waiting for us, the journey to Cairo is tiring, I recommend a travel pillow, my wife was waiting for us at the Egyptian museum in Cairo Italian guide, who I was lucky enough to have only for my family since the rest of the group were all from Russia, Ahmed was extraordinary, we felt extremely involved, he took photos of us, we ate together at the restaurant, good food, and also to the Pyramids made our excursion extraordinary, Thanks Ahmed and congratulations!

Pyramids and museum - The transfer is long but the minibus was comfortable with good air con. The drivers were great and stopped for bathroom breaks as needed. Our Engligh guide, Ahmed, was so knowledgeable and visiting with him was a great experience. He was able to answer all our questions- from the places that we visited, the culture of Egypt and was able to recommend other attractions. He also took great photos of us! The Nileboat trip, camel rides are optional and we decided not to do them. All in all, it is an unique experience and we truly recommend it.

Piramides and more - Nice adventure! Good Spanish speaking guide! Very sweet person! A must see in your lifetime! The bus ride was a bit unnecessary long. And they just let us wait in the bus from 3:15 am till 04:00 am without telling us anything. While they relaxed and enjoyed a coffee and a smoke. That was a bad start but the rest of the trip was very good.

Cairo Trip with Book Tour Egypt from Hurghada - During our stay in Egypt, we took two trips with Book Tour Egypt, and I want to highlight their exceptional communication and professionalism. The trip to Cairo was truly unique, though the journey there was lengthy and tiring. We traveled around Cairo by minibus and returned on a large bus. In Cairo, we were part of a small group led by our guide, Ahmed. His enthusiasm and passion for his job were evident and infectious, making our day not just enjoyable but memorable. Ahmed is not only a professional; he's genuinely passionate about sharing his knowledge. Thanks to Ahmed and Book Tour Egypt for a fantastic experience!

PERFECT.... - Perfect pick-up timing, perfect companion, our perfect French-speaking guide. He was very considerate, interesting, available, helpful.... Perfect timing of the visits. Neither too long nor too fast. Just visiting the shops (papyrus and oils & perfumes), although nice, not essential. But the welcome is always pleasant, even if there are no purchases behind. The little restaurant planned was very decent. We enjoyed cold drinks on the mini bus between visits. Cairo Museum very interesting, the site of the pyramids, impressive, the felucca ride on the Nile, refreshing, the site of the majestic sphinx. The bus ride from Hurghada is obviously long but just a small sacrifice for a memorable day. Even the short stops at the stations in the middle of the desert were exotic. To recommend without hesitation. And what wonderful value for money. Without forgetting the numerous exchanges via WhatsApp which are further proof of professionalism.

Excellent excursion! - The road was long but the drivers, Ahmed and Mahmoud, very kind, friendly and attentive, allowed us to appreciate this excellent excursion even more. The road is well worth it thanks to the museum and the unique and magnificent landscapes.
