This was a good trip well organised. We are a family of 4 with two kids aged 13 and 9. It was a long and very tiring day – but well worth it. Ahmed our guide was a walking encyclopaedia. Very knowledgeable and an all round good guy. Ahmed gets a 10/10. We travelled from Hurghada and it we were met at the hotel and driven to the airport after collecting the other travellers on the tour who were from a range of different nationalities. A few Brits ,French and Germans and some Russian people who were very Russian. It took half an hour to complete all the pick ups and if there would have been an option to go directly to the airport in a taxi I would have taken it rather than go through the ballache of collecting people at 3.30am. Then straight onto the plane and then an hour journey to Cairo. Once you were up, you were making your descant into Cairo. We were met at the airport by Ahmed. All of the travellers on the tour were then split into nationalities so that they had their own tour guide who was speaking your language for the entire tour. So – good news for us is we didn’t have to share with any vodka drinking nation who wanted to invade our bit of the mini bus. We are a family of 4 and and we got straight into the mini bus with another Brit, the smashing Craig from Derby. First stop was a stop in a petrol station/coffee shop for some very cheap coffee and some pastry. Then we went for a walk around Cairo old town and the old walled city. We were walking around at 7.30am to 8.30am so it was very quiet, and we were able to see everything without being hassled. The place looks like the street scenes in Aladdin. There were though quite a lot of street dogs and my 9 year old loves dogs and she got a bit upset at seeing dogs fending for themselves. From there we were off for a 30 minute short boat trip on the Nile which was nice. The boat was quite small and could maybe hold 20 people or so. The weather was lovely so we just sat and looked out at the water. Now. If I have a suggestion to the organisers it would be this. Get a bigger boat. Lets spend an hour on the boat and lets have breakfast of pastry, croissant and pastry on the boat. We have to stop for breakfast so why aren’t you making money off of us on the beautiful Nile river? From there we went to the Egyptian National Museum for a mid morning tour of the museum with Ahmed. We saw Tutankhamun, Rameses and all of the Pharoah statues that the British haven’t stolen (!) and had a real history lesson off of Ahmed. After a 3am start this proved a bit much for my kids as my 13 year old just wanted to sit down and I ended up carrying my 9 year old for 30 minutes whilst she fell asleep on me. It was great. And Ahmed was great. But it was strictly for adults. After this we went to the Papyrus shop for some history on how papyrus was made and we bought a hand made papyrus with hieroglyphics of the kids for them both. Beware the papyrus isn’t cheap. It cost us £100 for two hand made papyrus. Then we went for lunch which is included in the price we paid. It was called the Tasty Place! The food was good. It was roast chicken on the bone, potatoes, rice, beef stew – all very nice. Very Egyptian. But not a lot that was kid friendly. My kids are terrible eaters and wouldn’t have any of it. To play safe with them I need a restaurant that offers Pizza, a burger or fries. I spoke to Ahmed and Ahmed organised two plates of fries for the kids that I paid extra for. You also have to pay for your drinks at lunch. Buffet is included everything outside the buffet you have to pay for. Following lunch it was a short drive to the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza. The Pyramids are big. Very big. Much bigger than I thought they would be. You can go inside and we were warned by Ahmed that once inside it is small and claustrophobic. It’s a steep walk up some narrow steps to the entrance to the inside chamber. The kids said that they wanted to do it and we paid £100 to all go but after seeing the first flight of steps/ladder when we were inside they both wanted to be taken back out. It was also very hot and stuffy inside. If you have asthma it’s a real no no. Craig our Brit travelling companion did make it inside to the chamber. It took him 25 minutes in and out and he said there is a rabbit hole that you have try and climb through to make it into the final chamber – so I would say this is only for the truly committed traveller. After we got out we carefully made our way down the big steps and then just had a walk around the pyramid. You are in Egypt so you have to be prepared for ‘Egyptian Customer Service’. Around the Pyramids there are a street stalls without prices where you are going to have to barter for everything that you want. The Egyptians only really want foreign currency as the Egyptain Pound is so volatile. So my advice is take a lot of cash in small denominations. If you were with a tour guide go with there advice and don’t engage with the guys trying to sell you stuff. If you’re not with a tour guide then good luck! After the Pyramid we went on a Horse ride or a Camel ride. I read some negative comments about the guys who are doing the horse and camel ride and all I can say is that our experience was a good one. The guys were friendly the horse ride was a bit bumpy but 30 minutes of good fun and the pictures that we took from the ridge over looking the Pyramids are pretty fantastic. Following the Pyramids we then went and had a look at the Sphinx. Which is not as big as the Pyramids but still well over 70m and quite beautiful. Then we were pretty much done. That was around 4pm and our flight back to Hurghada wasn’t until 8pm so there was a fair bit of hanging around until the flight. What is striking about the Pyramids is how disorganised it is compared to anything in the US or in Western Europe. The Egyptians have big plans Ahmed told me for a new museum and visitors centre at Giza but right now it looks like it’s been organised by a few lads from the local bar. If the Pyramids were in Florida you would have a whole host of highly trained customer service smiling and looking after you with Pharoas in costumes, a visitors centre, a movie show, a theatre show and fast food all around the Pyramids with the shops and things to buy. In Egypt you have an entrance in with some street stalls and a bit of rope and some big steps to climb to get into a Pyramid. There is the Pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza and then a vast area of what looks like desert all around it. And that’s it. Also, there was some fairly hilarious Egyptian customer service. On the way into the Pyramids the ticket guy said where is your daughters ticket. I called to Ahmed who said to the guy here’s the ticket on his phone. To which the guy replied ‘Where is the ticket!’ to which Ahmed replied ‘Here on my phone!’ this back and forth went on increasing in volume for a full two or three minutes before the ticket guy backed down. Now all this stuff is cultural. I understand that. But my little girl was like why are they fighting! I think someone needs to tell the Egyptians they are literally sitting on a goldmine with the natural wonders that they have. But they’re going to need to get their people to do the best customer service course in history. Or get in partnership with Disney or Universal to mine that gold. Btw I’m available to run Customer Service courses if you’re reading Egyptian Tourist Board. [email protected] Slight moan: You get whatsap’d by the organisers and FTS messed up our initial travel date. We were meant to go mid way through the holiday but we ended up going at the end of the holiday. So hassle those guys and make sure they have got your date and flights all sorted.

Cannot recommend highly enough. From the first minute to the last Weil was a brilliant guide for our tour of Cairo. Went at a pace appropriate for children. He took photos for us and made the tour really special.

Early start picked up by car on time. Easy airport departure. Met At Cairo airport next to exit. Comfortable mini bus with a mixture of nationalities . Mr Sherife and the driver were outstanding especially considering the Cairo traffic. Coffee stop, trip on the Nile which I hadn’t expected paid for separately .Museum tour with excellent commentary , coffee then out to pyramids then sphinx, plenty of time. Airport drop off then back to hotel. I can’t thank other people on the mini bus enough for the help they gave my wife who has a few illnesses issues. I have highly recommended this tour company.
