The guide pushes
The trip from Hurghada to Cario is 466 km. Due the trip, the driver took many stops and it took 7,5 hour to get at the museum (first visit). We choose a privat trip so we shoot be there faster. The guide started good. But when we leaved the museum, the guide pushed us to do the nile trip. That would cost extra. When we choosed not to, he pushed us to get to the parfum farm. It took a long time to convince him that we want to go to the piramides. When we arrived at te piramides, the guide told us, that we can do a camel ride, and that we were not required to do so. Wenn we talked to the person from the camel ride, first it costs 2500 pounds. Wenn we agreed, it costs 2500 each, so 5000 pounds (140 euro). Wenn said, we don’t wanted it, the guide wanted to push it to do it. No was allmost not an option. Normally you should said, that the has to protect the tourist. We did not the camel ride. We think the guide gets a fee for extra activities. The piramids were awsome!
Response from the operator: thanks for the review. first,stops on the way not because of the driver, because of the police procedures. you didn't do nile or camel ride so I think not enough to say the guide pushed us as it didn't happen. it's not included in the program the nile cruise but you wanted to have it included. I texted you telling you the program includes the day before the trip but sorry you wanted it free and the camel ride is not the guide responsibility. so in general we can't control the feelings. thanks a lot.

Outstanding
Rafat is one of the best man you can find for the job, the communication was outstanding with providing guidance on each step prior to the trip. The drivers that picked us up were very nice and polite and the drive to Cairo wss flawless, stops for food and toilet. The guide is Cairo (Hala) was excellent, she knew everything about Cairo and the pyramids and was very kind to us, helping us take photos in the crowd and taking us to places that were exclusive. She was the best guide in town and felt like a family with us. If you are looking for trips in Egypt, go with Rafat and you will have no regrests at all.
Response from the operator: Many thanks for the review which I really appreciate. Hope to see you again.

Long day but worth it
Wow what a day. It was a super early start. We were picked up from our hotel at 2am. It took us about 6 hours to get there so make sure you grab a packed lunch from your hotel and try to get some sleep in the car. First stop was the museum, so much to see and not enough time. Our guide showed us the best bits, absolutely amazing, he was very knowledgeable, you won’t be disappointed, could have done with a bit more time to wonder around by ourselves though. The ride in the Felucca was fun, bit cold at this time of year so wrap up warm but very peaceful. Lunch was tasty, you could see the pyramid from the restaurant, drinks were a bit expensive. The highlight of course was the pyramids and sphinx. We paid about £40 each for a camel ride behind the pyramids where you get an amazing view and the chance to take some once in a lifetime pictures. It lasted about an hour and was well worth it. There were a couple of visits to a perfume and papyrus shop, it was interesting and there was no pressure to buy anything. We finally arrived back at our hotel at about 8.30 the trip back was much quicker. Yes it’s a long day, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and have some lifelong memories to take home with us. I won’t miss the crazy drivers in Cairo though, but shout out to our driver he navigated the craziness expertly.
Response from the operator: Thanks alot for the great review and hope to see you again.

Splendid experience
A little expensive but than again being able to enjoy a private clean and comfortable van with two friendly and helpful drivers, it's worth the money, with also included lunch and entrance fees. It's a long trip with at least one stop (more can be asked to the drivers without any problem). A very good local guide awaits you at the pyramids and accompanies you all day long. Next to pyramids, you visit the museum and also a papyrus factory, an Egyptian cotton store and an perfume store. These last three visits are very interesting, you get an explanation and of course to possibility to buy (however absolutely no obligation). You are also able to add things to the program, f.e. visit to Khan el Khalili. Also there is "aftercare", asking if everything was satisfactory and if anything could be done to even more improve. Final conclusion: certainly recommended (next time we visit Hurghada, we will make use of the services again)
Response from the operator: Thank you sir for your review. You are welcome any time.

Best activity by far from Hurghada
Rafat did an amazing job at fighting me a driver and a tour guide for my long day trip in Luxor. They were accommodating and allowed me to customize the schedule so I could see what I really cared about! It was probably one of the best travel day of my life. I highly recommend booking a tour with them and feel free to share what you're looking for. Food was delicious as well and my guide was friendly and funny. He was passionate about History and meeting with tourists and give them the best experience.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the review and I hope to see you again.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cairo private day by car including lunch minimum 2 persons: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Cairo private day by car including lunch minimum 2 persons cost?
+
Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cairo private day by car including lunch minimum 2 persons take?
+
Plan for about 15 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Cairo private day by car including lunch minimum 2 persons worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cairo private day by car including lunch minimum 2 persons?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cairo private day by car including lunch minimum 2 persons suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cairo private day by car including lunch minimum 2 persons?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cairo private day by car including lunch minimum 2 persons start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
