ABSOLUTELY TO BE AVOIDED
Traveler55846688618, October 2026
DISGUSTING! I feel sorry for the guide who accompanied us through the museum and the pyramids because he was exceptional, but everything else was madness. Leaving aside the discomfort of the bus, it took us an eternity, random stops remaining stuck on the bus without any explanation, and for no valid reason, detours that were absolutely useless, time after time wasted. A trip that could easily have lasted 5 hours lasted 9.30. The return trip? Do we want to talk about it? PURE MADNESS, the guy who was supposed to accompany us on the bus from Cairo to Sharm was not all there, he had definitely taken some substance, and to say that I leave you to imagine his behavior on the bus. Arrived in Sharm after 7 and a half hours, after having switched to the smaller minibus, THE DELIRIUM. We drove LITERALLY at random around Sharm only to return to the starting point. The driver's explanation? “It is God's will”, obviously he was high too. After another hour and a half driving around Sharm we finally arrived at the hotel. (Everyone with their GPS praying to get there) Arrived at the hotel at 03:30 Does it seem absurd? Imagine how it was for us who lived through it.

The tour was brilliant but sadly the journey home was dreadful and I was left vulnerable & unsafe
sarah120301, October 2026
For the most of it, my tour was amazing - the guide, Ahmed Amer, was fantastic - he was friendly, informative and seeing the museum, sphinx & pyramids was everything I hoped for and more, the river Nile ride was the ‘cherry on the cake’. It has left me wanting to go back to Cairo to spend more time in the museum, at the pyramids and to see even more of the history & culture on offer. Sadly after Ahmed left bus, things took a down turn. While I accept the company had no control over what happened on the journey back, they are also responsible as it was their staff, whether directly employed or contracted. We had lovely drivers and a tour escort Achmed, who had been on top form earlier in the day. I don’t know why it happened, whether it was a medical matter or some other reason, but his demeanour suddenly changed and he became a bit aggressive to a young boy and an unrelated couple, he seemed to be staggering and not himself. I cannot stress enough how different he was even an hour earlier where he’d stepped in and gave ‘words of advice’ to a male who’d been a bit stress with his partner and child. Achmed’s behaviour was concerning to everyone on board, including the 2 drivers and they did their best to manage a difficult situation. Everyone was a bit tense after this, not least due to the unplanned extended stop to manage this. After a very long day, we were all very tired and just wanted to get back to our hotels. We all knew the journey was long. This was well advertised by the company however we didn’t expect the additional delays. We eventually got back to our transfer station for everyone to Move onto mini buses for onward transport. Achmed was again in charge of managing this perhaps it would’ve been better for someone else however he was the person with the better language skills. Somehow I was not called for my minibus transfer and when it transpired that the bus had left without me at 2 am, there was lots of talking and then it seemed another driver for a different company had been asked to take me on their trip to other hotels. Bearing in mind that I am a single female traveller in the country where I don’t speak the language and I had paid for a tour with the transport to and from, I felt vulnerable, worried and I was disappointed that Achmed and the two drivers left in the coach before I had safely left with the other firm. There seemed to be some arguments going on between various staff. It may have been about my situation or not, I don’t know, but it felt very uncomfortable and a fight was breaking out. I was on a mini bus with other Travelers. I did not know, we did not share the same language and the taxi driver did not speak English at all. I cannot fault this taxi driver he really made efforts to try and communicate using his phone and the translation app. Thankfully I did eventually get back to my hotel safely, however this was not guaranteed and sadly I felt like Achmed & the drivers hadn’t cared. Quite simply this is not good enough. It is really sad to end a wonderful day on such an unhappy note, but at least I’m safe not that the team who was supposed to be looking after me knew that.
