Booked on the 4am flight from Sharm. Problems from getting there. Wrong tickets were ordered through this company for the museum.. had to pay extra. Was dropped off at numerous places... felt pushed to purchase goods from so many different stores. Dropped back off at the airport at 3pm. Flight back to Sharm was at 10pm. Overall would have booked elsewhere if we had known. Spent a fortune and feel thoroughly ripped off.

Nour is a very experienced guide and the whole tour experience was very good. We especially enjoyed his kindness, caring thoughtful attitude, Especially his great sense of humour. He has given us wonderful day! Everyone should see the Pyramids once in their lives and the new Grand Egyptian Museum is simply stunning. We did get to visit the perfume shop and the papyrus shop but they were not hard sells and the coffee in the perfume shop was quite good. I have dealt with FTS before and this years experience was as good as last time and I’ll be using them again for future Egyptian tours.

I booked this trip with my boyfriend as a nice break away from our hotel in Sharm el Sheikh. Nour looked after us for the day and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He even took lots of photos of us at each attraction making sure we captured each moment for our memory books. This was a nice added touch and really appreciated! He also answered our fifty million questions and was a great guide. Highly recommend and will definitely reach out to him when we come back to Egypt for more trips!

Sarwat was very friendly and knowledgable and kept us entertained through a very long day. It was a shame the weather was hazy as this meant we didn't see the pyramids at their best. The New Egyptian museum was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Very late flight back so the party was feeling a bit jaded towards the end of the day.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with Sarwat and found the experience both friendly and informative. We completely understand how the hazy weather may have impacted the view of the pyramids, and we truly appreciate your understanding. On the bright side, we’re glad you had an amazing visit to the New Egyptian Museum—it’s definitely a highlight! We also understand that a late flight can make for a long and tiring day, and we truly appreciate your energy throughout the trip. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again soon for an even more perfect experience!
