Customer Reviews of Sharm Excursions

Had a great trip today on semi submersible Seascape 2.
Very easy to book online and great communication through what's app to arrange pickup time and location.
Highly recommended. 👍

The tour was really good! Cairo was amazing and the pyramids were definitely the best bit! we got some amazing photos and our host Omar was amazing! You can tell how much he loves his job! He is very insightful and spoke excellent English. You can tell he loves teaching people in the museum and he wants to keep you safe and learn the most you can on tour!

Having used this company before I had no hesitation in contacting them again.

As before it was well organised and we were picked up on time at all points.

We met outside the airport and had a minibus to ourselves and to our surprise there was even a cooler full of water on board.

The tour guide Marwa was extremely knowledgeable and had very good English and was able to answer all of our questions.

Since we had done a trip a few months ago to Cairo we contacted them to see if we could make this trip a private trip even though not offered and it was something they were able to accommodate.

Don’t hesitate using this company as I’ve had two amazing trips with them now.

While we were at a resort Sharm El Sheikh, we decided to take a one day excursion to Cairo - private tour by plane. This was a great experience and everything went smoothly. I worked with Mohamed who was always available on WhatApp to help where necessary. We were picked up at our resort at the appointed time, and transported everywhere in Cairo in a comfortable air conditioned people carrier. Our guide spoke excellent English and helped us customize our itinerary. Prior to the trip we had to adjust our party size due to illness which was easily accomadated. There are so many excursion companies to choose from and difficult to know who to rely on, I'm glad we chose Sharm Excursions.

We booked 5 tours with Sharm Excursions for a family of 8.

Cairo by plane
5 in 1 dessert adventure
Snorkelling day trip White Island
Sini mountain walk
Dahab blue hole

I can honestly say they were all fantastic and fully packed tours, from the brilliant communication down to the great tour guides they were just all so enjoyable and gave us the chance to actually sit back and enjoy them as everything was so smoothly planed.

I would 100% recommend using Sharm Excursions and would definitely use them again myself in the future.

I used Sharm Excursions for 3 adventures during my week long trip to Egypt: climbing Mount Sinai for sunrise, day trip tour to Luxor with Nile boat ride and A day seeing the Pyramids

Every minute of all three trips was amazing, exactly as advertised and promised and so relaxing because it was so well organised. The communication was brilliant. Any questions I had were answered quickly and information was shared with us regularly so we knew exactly where to be and what to do. I've never come across a tour guide company as well run as this and have already recommended them to three friends who went to Egypt soon after me.

It made my trip epic. Two of my trips (Mount Sinai & Pyramids) were private tours and we were treated so well, everything was made convenient for us but we also were able to learn a lot because the private tour guides were so knowledgeable and friendly.

The tour was amazing! Nothing to say. The guide was great and all the day went perfect. Unfortunately, just a delay of the flight on our way back due to technical reasons on the flight.
Anyway. UNFORGETTABLE THE PRIVATE TOUR!

I have always wanted to visit Luxor and on my recent trip to Sharm El Sheikh, I was fortunate enough to be treated to such trip by my daughter. Although I was not involved in the booking process, I heard nothing but positive things about Mohamed who my daughter booked the trip with. I am quite hard to impress, however Sham Excursions managed to impress me. I was pleased to see a clean car with a well turned out English speaking driver collect us from our accommodation and transfer us safely to Sharm El Sheikh Airport for our flight to Luxor. Once we arrived in Luxor, we were immediately met by our very friendly guide Mahmoud. Mahmoud spent the whole day with us sharing his vast knowledge on Egypt and its history as we visited the Valley of the Kings, Hatsheptsut's Temple, Karnak Temple and various other stops. One of our party loved to banter and Mahmoud managed to handle his banter well, and give it back when necessary too! The restaurant we went on Banana Island which was an optional extra was outstanding and I would highly recommend you take that option.

Excellent, customer service, excellent organisation, excellent experience - I highly recommend it to anyone!

the logistics were good, we saw the Pyrmaids and the Ciro Museum but we did not see the center of Ciro or its main attractions.
The rest of the trip was rather dissapointing , as we were sent from shops to shops and felt as we need to buy something so we can leave. We paid for a privte tour but the tour guy suggested eating in the car, which was disspointing as we paid for a private tour. We asked for an authentic restaurant but insted of were sent to the place with less than avarage food.

First of all, our tour guide Amr was truly amazing. He was very knowledgeable, very clever, funny, and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. But there are a few points I want to address in regards to the layout of the day.

We were picked up from the hotel at 4:45 am and were taken straight to the airport- we arrived at the airport at about 5:10 am. We were left waiting in the minibus for 15 minutes with no AC and no information about when our flight is and no updates at all. Eventually, we went into the airport and went through security (this took about 20 minutes as there were a lot of security measures), we then were told to go to the check-in and the queues were quite long but we eventually got checked-in at about 5:55 am, only to then find out our flight is at 6 am. None of the guides comes with you through the airport so naturally, we were panicking as we did not want to miss the flight. We got to the gate and it was heaving with people and we had no idea where to go. Anyway, we got onto the plane at about 6:30 and the flight was great: complimentary biscuits and water.

We arrived in Cairo and met our lovely guide who then took us to the minibus- we even had a security guard shadow us for the whole day which was very reassuring. Prior to the trip, we were aware that there was an optional Nile boat trip. Although there were no prices for this on your website, all of the reviews said it was £10. Although the trip was optional, we felt slightly pressured into taking the Nile cruise and it was actually £20/$20 each which we were surprised with, but we still did it as a couple of other people did it and we did not want to be left alone on the bus. The boat trip was very disappointing, must have been only 20 minutes, definitely not worth 20 pounds each. We then had lunch at a riverside restaurant which was fine.

After that, we went to a perfume/oils shop, and honestly, the whole thing just felt like a sales pitch. There was no pressure to buy anything but the whole thing was uncomfortable as none of us had any intention to buy anything and we felt awful because they gave us complimentary fizzy drinks and were very nice.

Now the pyramids... the men at the pyramids do not leave you alone. You step out of the minibus with no warning about what you will experience. They will not take no for an answer when nagging you to buy things we had to practically escape from them. I think the guides need to warn us about this as a young solo traveler was on our trip and we saw her having trouble with one of the men and he was demanding money from her- we had to find the police.

We got to the airport for 6:30pm only to find our flight is at 9pm. Despite there being multiple flights back to Sharm before 9pm that we would have easily made with lots of time to spare. A lot of waiting around.

Great excursion with the team. Really went above and beyond to take care of us. Arrangements and the team were all amazing. The tour of Cairo was great with amazing tour guide who really took care of us. They upgraded our tour for free recognising what we needed (being a family with young kids) more than even we did. The museum was nice, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to what we would enjoy. It's a shame the museum is in the process of being relocated.

Memo was our tour guide around the Old Market. He speaks excellent English which made our tour that much more enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a good amount of time at each of the religious sites. We were searching for specific items at the market and Memo went over and above to help us find what we were looking for.

We were picked up from our resort on time and taken to the harbour. The boat was in a lovely condition and our hosts were really good. We had a good amount of time on the sand bank but the snorkeling was cut extremely short and I can't say why. We were just demanded to get out of the water and off we went. The excursion description also mentions seeing a shipwreck site but that was not even mentioned on the day. The food was great and served in good time.

Exceptional... epic!!! So, so, so much fun. An experience unlike any other, especially if you have Hakeem as your lead guide. The quad bikes, the picturesque landscape, the camel rides, the small hikes, the entertainment, just wow. Someone needs to go scouting for talent in the desert. Those guys are something else. I'm not a tea drinker, but that tea was just superb. Can't even count how many helpings I had. I could have camped in the desert all night gazing at stars. Thank you!!!!

Excellent company to deal with. Great customer service and quality. Would highly recommend them.

All round brilliant tour! From the moment we was picked up to the moment we were dropped off! Our tour guide Mahmoud was outstanding, full of knowledge and very very friendly! Was made to feel safe and the tour was catered around what we wanted to see and do. Five stars would highly recommend to anyone! Also with an unbeatable price! Bargain.

We had a one day trip to Caïro with Mahmud. Really everything was taking care of. The driver who brought us to the AirPort as the one who was waiting for us at the AirPort. Everyone was on time. Mahmud was our guide for The trip. Wauw Mahmud has so much knowledge. The museum was so interesting as the pyramides because Mahmud made it very interessting with the information he shared with us. Also while we drived in Caïro he told and showed us information about The city Caïro. We had A very fun day with a lot of laughs and knowledge. If your looking for an professional good planned excursion, book it with Sharmexcursions and ask for Mahmud you wont regret it!!

Love
Amal from Holland

Cairo tour from sharm is a must to do with this company and with her knowledgeable guide Willy. we had a lovely private tour, the museum was WOW, the info given and explained by our guide were great. i may say that i learned a lot about the pharaohs and their culture. we really enjoyed the process of making "baradi paper", and the experience of the oil essence factory was also interesting. The pyramids were a blast, every minute was worth it, our guide knew exactly where to take us, to stop to take picture.... Thank you Willy for such memorable day.

Myself and My daughter had always wanted to go to Egypt to see the usual stuff Pyramids, Valley of the King etc. We only stayed in Egypt for 7 days, we could have stayed longer. We decided to book with Sharm Excursions recommended by one of Natalie's friends. So as the saying goes "when in Rome", we took full advantage for the special offer and booked 4 excursions in the 'buy 3 get 1 free' offer. Our first being the Cairo tour from Sharm 1 day by plane.

We were picked up from our hotel at 5.00am in a mini bus and taken to the airport. We had free drinks and biscuits on the plane, there was some cracking views of mountains and desert on our way to Cairo. When we landed, we met out tour guide Mohammed, he was a very nice smart gentleman and his knowledge of Cairo Museum and Tutankhamen was amazing. Our group really got to know each other during the day and together with Mohammed we felt like a little family.

We had a ride in a boat down the Nile to a restaurant for lunch. We didn't have to go as this was optional and did cost a little extra but we all agreed it would be a great way to go have lunch, which was a riverside restaurant anyway. Lunch was good, but I was hoping for some authentic Egyptian cooking. We then went to see the Pyramids in Giza, this was fantastic :). We had a choice of a camel ride or a horse drawn buggy to go and take some fantastic photo's of all 9 Pyramids. Natalie and I had always want to ride a camel and although we booked to do the camel ride and star gazing, we opted for the camel, again this cost a little extra, but our camel handler was so good at taking some spectacular photo's we didn't mind and gave him a tip too :). It was a short drive then to see the Sphinx and have a general wander around.

From there it was on to a perfume shop where we were told about perfume oils and which ones were used for any perfume and aftershave you could mention, even up to date perfumes he had an oil that smelt exactly the same. It was a quick stop then to the Papyrus shop where we were told how Papyrus paper was made and it's qualities, then we were given a chance to buy some if we wanted to.

After this we had to go back to the airport to get the plane back to Sharm.

I will never forget this trip, we made some good friends, saw some amazing sites and did nothing but smile the whole day, this is more than a 5* trip.

Love and best wishes to all in Sharm Excursions.

Marie & Natalie

A great day and our guide Will was excellent. Well worth the extra for a private tour.

We had a wonderfully hot holiday in Sharm thanks to Sharm Excursions.

We were a bit hesitant in prting with our money online so just called the number that was provided on the website. Muhammad answered and we just asked him to book us on the Cairo excursion. He informed us that pick up was 5am the next day, asked us to bring our passports etc, and to remind the hotel to pack us a breakfast box. The rep arrived on time outside our hotel along with other travellers, took us to the airport and we boarded flight to Cairo. We only parted with our cash on arrival in Cairo when we met the rep there. The rep took us to Egyptian Museum, lunch on the Nile and the Pyramids of Giza. It was an excellent day - the rep was well informed and very friendly - he even took us to the local Mall for last minute shopping in Cairo before our flight back to Sharm.

Have to say its a wonderful excursion - they took away all the pressure and hassle.

We were so impressed that we went on the Quad biking, Aqu Waterpark and camel riding with them too.

They are the best excursion company in Sharm - always prompt and very cost effective. They are polite and the excursions are well worth it.

Was good but could of been less controlled, need more time to run free in dessert,we all seem to be kept tightly packed and bunched up apart from this was OK guides very attentive,regular stops for pics etc, stopped at Bedouin tent for drinks etc,the whole trip was filmed which seem to hold us up maybe less filming more action would improve. But again Thankyou for the experience.

This trip is excellent. highly recommend this to anyone who goes to sharm. the camel ride is not too long, the sunset views from the top of one of the mountains are breathtaking, the bedouin dinner is better than the hotel food and the whole general experience is brilliant.

This was one of the best afternoon/evenings of the holiday. We had such a fun time Quad biking through the desert into the sun set. We even stopped off at Echo Mountain on the way to the evening ascertainment! The food and entertainment were really good and a great way to experience the culture. We also had a brief ride on a camel, although in the dark so not brilliant for seeing the surroundings. The evening was finished with a spot of star gazing before Quad biking back. Such a fun time had by all

Had always wanted to go to see the pyramids and this tour didn't disappoint , our guide was Will who was so funny and his knowledge of Egyptian history was just mind blowing. He told us and showed us amazing things, the Cairo museum was just breathtaking, we rode camels at Giza, he looked after us so the locals didn't rob us, we rode a horse and carriage that was a bone shaker, lol Mustafa a 15 year old boy took care of the horses we rode, it was glorious. We were picked up and dropped off at the airport and it all went to plan. Absolutely loved it.

This was one of our four trips booked with Sharm Excursions! If I could rate this trip more than 5 stars I would!! Everything was amazing! We were collected promptly from our hotel at 4.35am and left to the airport where it was explained to us step by step where to go and what time we would fly to Luxor. We met our tour guide Mahmoud (sorry if I spelt your name wrong :)) in Luxor airport and he was fantastic the entire day! There were 9 in our group and he called us "Family" :)! He gave us so much information, and explained everything in a lot of detail, showed us around Luxor and answered any questions with ease. The Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple were personal highlights for me, so fascinating and Mahmoud is so knowledgeable in Egyptian history! We did the boat trip on the river Nile (£10 extra and totally worth it) which was a great experience and then had a gorgeous lunch with more than enough food! We spent some time in a banana farm and got to eat as many bananas as we wanted, they were delicious. Then we went a perfume shop where they demonstrated and let us sample some perfumes. The guys in the shop were lovely and gave us a complimentary welcome drink. We were left back to the airport and Mahmoud walked us in and ensured we got boarding passes ok. Unfortunately we ended up getting delayed due to a sandstorm but Sharm Excursions and in particular Mahmoud looked after us. He came back to the airport (having finished work) and was an absolute gentleman, taking us out for a meal which was paid for by the company. He then left us back to the airport to get our flight back to Sharm. This one day trip gives you a great oversight and flavour for Luxor and the history of ancient egypt-it is just WOW, something else! Definitely would highly recommend this trip and Sharm Excursions to anyone! Even with the delay this trip was totally worth every penny! Mahmoud is a credit to Sharm Excursions so a massive thank you to you Mahmoud it was a fantastic day :)!! Hopefully see you again in the future, love from two of your "family" :)!!

Amazing trip, great guide MIA.
Once in a Life time

If i could pick a higher number to rate this tour then 5, I WOULD!

Having never been to Egypt before, we immediately wanted to do Cairo, having booked the trip whilst alot of trouble was going on, i was a little bit sceptical.
We left the hotel around 4:30am which sounds stupidly early but by the time you get to the Airport and get through security, very little time remains.
The airline company EGYPTAIR, are unbelievable, the planes are luxurious with large amounts of leg room, attentive flight attendants and FREE drinks. Perfect start to the day.
Arriving in Cairo, we was greeted by the most amazing person - Her name was Maya. She is the best person you could wish for on a trip like this, friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable.
Our first stop was to the Muesuem to see the artefacts, you get you're ticket included in the price, however if you want to see more of the mummies, you have to pay extra - i did not, as there is so much to see anyways. Maya was fantastic in here, she had studied the Muesuem for many years and knew everything about it.
Having seen alot of Ancient Egyptian artefacts, the next step is a boat ride down the Nile (ITS AMAZING!!!!) you have 2 options here, pay to go on a boat with other people or pay to go on a private boat with the people from other hotels that you flew down with (in our case it was one family from Kent and they were lovely) we decided on the private boat, its £5 extra each but well worth it.
Travelling down the Nile, Maya told us everything, from old building to four seasons, you spend around 45 minutes down the Nile and then stop off for something to eat.
I do have to thank Maya once again here, she took some photos for us and knew exactly how we was to pose to make it look crazy good.
The restaurant is a very niche place, out of the way and simply fantastic, me and my partner both commented on the food, it was better then any we had eaten since been in the country. The restaurant makes fresh bread and its delicious! The meal is part of the package, however but drinks are not, however saying that you can get a large bottle of water for around 20 EGP.
We left for the Pyramids, along the way Maya told us more and more about Egypt and the history, so much so that when i came home, every game show that asks questions about Egypt, i know the answer to.
Arriving at the Pyramids, it was very full, we had come just after Ramadan and the feast was in full force, so alot of Egyptians was there, do not let this put you off as i doubt it will be like that all year round, and even if it is, you can deal with it.
The ticket for the Pyramids are part of the package, however this only includes to go inside one of them, not all of them, tickets for the others are more however i would not recommend purchasing the other pyramid tickets as its very hot and very cramped inside.
Maya again been the delight she was, told us exactly how they was built etc;
Once you have had a good look around, you get the option to pay to go around the pyramids and take the funny photo's. THIS IS A MUST.
Its either a Camel or Shaded Horse carriage, the camel is cheaper but if you are like me, i was getting too hot so i decided to go for the shaded one. The guy that took us was brilliant, he took some amazing photos for us, the view is excellent and you'll never forget these pictures.
Leaving the Pyramids, i asked if we could go shopping if we had time and bless Maya she did. We went to a few small shops, that sell souvenirs, clothes etc; i just got some small things to remind us of Cairo.
Leaving main Cairo, Maya asked us if we wanted to stop for food and we ended up at Burger King (it still did not beat the niche restaurant)
Once at the aiport, Maya took us in and made sure we checked in safely, something she did not have to do, but been the lovely person she was, i thought it was attentive.

If you go on any trip, with Sharm Excursions, choose this one. We have booked Egypt again for next year and intend to use this company for Luxor.
If you are looking on how you pay these guys, then what i would recommend is that you book online and pay the part deposit, you then meet a lovely person who meets you outside the hotel to give you receipts and you pay the remaining of the money. Please do not think that this is dodgy because its not. They are lovely. We book the 3 for 4 offer and whilst we was there, i had some really bad days with my medical condition which force us to rebook different days and even change one excursion altogether, each time Sharm Excursions was more then understanding and helped us out.

I must give Maya another shout out, if our tour guides back in Britain was as good as her then we would not need to go away. I apologise to her for the late review, i had not forgot but have been working. SO THANKYOU MAYA!

I GIVE YOU 5 STARS SHARM EXCURSIONS FOR MAKING MY TIME IN EGYPT EVEN MORE AMAZING!

Amazing tour guide Abdul and a great experience - probably the best day of our stay. Booked 4 excursions with Sharm and were impressed by all! Thank you

Don't even think twice about booking your tour with these guys!!
Mohammed thank you for getting Mahmoud aka Memo to drive over an hour from Sharm to Dahab to pick up our deposit, you're both sweet as. We were lucky enough to have Egyptologist Wil to meet us at Cairo airport with a private taxi for my husband and I and just 3 others driven by who can only be described asichael Schumaccer through the lively streets of Cairo, a city truly awake.
The tour was outstanding and explained by Wil with a great passion for the wonderous ancient culture of the most fascinating people that ever lived on our planet IMHO ❤️

Excellent tour! We paid the extra for the private tour and it was worth it. Comfortable air condition vehicle to ourselves. Met at the airport by our guide Mahmoud who was very friendly and had great English. He was very knowledgeable, not just about the sites we were there to see but on Egyptian history and culture in general. He was on hand to take photos of us throughout the day and nothing was too much trouble for him.
It was good to have him on hand to explain everything throughout the day and all our questions were answered!
Only downside of the trip in our opinion was the papyrus shop. It was interesting to see how the paper is made but the staff are too pushy! She advised she would leave us alone to decide if we wanted to buy anything but then insisted on following us around the shop! We did buy a small picture eventually but would have bought more if we had been left alone! Not Mahmoud's fault but he couldn't apologise enough! he even offered to take us back later in the day to get what we wanted but we decided against it. We weren't looking forward to the perfume shop as a result as was expecting the same pushiness again but luckily didn't experience it here.
Overall a fantastic trip, made even better by Mahmoud's knowledge. Wouldn't hesitate to book it again, especially if we knew we would get Mahmoud as our guide :)

we booked a private tour to Cairo on the 2nd March 2015, after reading previous reviews on here and on tripadviser, and oh boy they were so accurate, it was fabulous,and i have to say it was one of the best excursions we have ever been on.
not just to see the sights but the staff they employ are amazing, from the admin staff, drivers and tours guides all wanted to ensure we had a great time.
we were met in Cairo at the airport by Mahmoud, what a great guy, he was friendly and attentive and very knowledgeable not just on Egyptian history ( which was immense). during the journeys between airport, attractions, lunch etc we had great conversations about the world in general and both our cultures, i really enjoyed these conversations.
we felt completely safe and well looked after by everyone we met ( we booked 3 different trips).
i have no hesitation in recommending Sharm Excursions as you will be well looked after.
we plan going back to Sharm next year around the same time, and i will be booking the Luxor trip through Sharm excursions.
we left Cairo at the end of the day feeling we had made a new friend in Mahmoud, we would hope that sometime in the future we would get to meet him again. we could not praise him enough.

mabye i would do the Cairo trip again in 2017, as we both loved our first ever trip to Sharm and intend to make it an annual event.

one point though, the trips to the Papyrus museum and Oil factory distract from what you are really there for, we would have preferred more time both at the Cairo museum and the Pyramids rather than lose time at both these places, yes they were interesting but pale into comparison with the main attractions.

If we do go back to Cairo we will ask to give these a miss.

ratings out of 5
Driver for the day 5 stars
Tour Guide Mahmoud 5 stars ( more if i could)
boat trip and lunch on the Nile 5 stars ( you do have to pay extra for this, but worth it)
Papyrus Museum 2 stars
Oil factory 2 stars
Egyptian museum and Pyramids ( do I really have to rate them, there are not enough stars in the sky to do them justice, just amazing we were awestruck)

Our trip to Luxor was fantastic. Everything went well from the outset with an excellent organization and Logistics. We felt safe all the time.
Additionally our guide, Mahmud made as appreciate Egyptian History with his detailed explanations and was able to answer all our questions. He is very knowledgeable about Egyptian History and made us the trip very entertaining.
We highly recommend this tour

I booked the Cairo excursion as a surprise for my boyfriend's 25th birthday, unsure about booking the trip online I read reviews which left me feeling more confident, it was also reassuring to pay a deposit and the rest of the fee when we arrived in Egypt. We both couldn't have been happier with the day! We were met by Ibrahim Mahdy at Cairo airport who was incredibly lovely and extremely informative! We learnt so much about The Pyramids, Cairo and Egypt in general. Ibrahim encouraged us to take up every photo opportunity, and we have some unforgettable photographs! Overall it was a brilliant day and a birthday present my boyfriend loved, I would recommend sharm excursions to anyone who wants to see the real Egypt and understand the history here. We will definitely be returning to Egypt and hopefully doing the Luxor Valley of The Kings! Thanks so much Ibrahim! Natalie & Marc.

Thanks to Mostafa we had a wonderful private tour to Luxor. Our amazing tour guide Marwa showed us three of the most fabulous places from the New Kingdom, where we could also choose what to do, like going to a stoneworkers to see how alabaster was carved and turned into various kinds of crafts and artwork. Louis particularly enjoyed talking with Marwa about Egyptian mythology and burial rituals. Marwa's knowledge is exceptional, as you would expect from an Eygptologist and Louis certainly enjoyed showing off what he knew! Marwa was also very kind and generous with the knowledge she wore so lightly - and helped us strike some good deals with the inevitable traders and other baksheesh hunters who me met.

Like others on this site I had some reservations about booking online and at some distance from Sharm, however Mostafa was very trustworthy and immediately genuine when I met him outside our hotel. This website and the people who run it inspire confidence, and there is nothing they won't do to make your trip a memorable success. These trips are better priced than those run by the major holiday chains, such as Thomsons and it would be hard to imagine that they could be better.

Thank you again everyone.

We booked this trip online after seeing previous good reviews. At first, we were very uncomfortable about handing over money without actually meeting the person, however, this was all unnecessary.

On the day of our trip, we were met by a member of the Sharma Excursions team who helped us with our flight to Luxor, where we were met by our guide 'Mahmoud'.

Mahmoud is a real nice guy and a very professional guide, he is polite, friendly and really knew his stuff. He explained everything extremely well and in a manner that ensured we understood. He made sure that we were all okay, if we needed anything i.e drinks, food, money etc, he acted upon it immediately. At all times, he was focussed on ensuring we had a fabulous day.

Our day involved visiting the tombs and temples, having lunch in a lovely restaurant, going to an alabaster workshop, having a boat trip across the River Nile to a small tropical fruit plantation, which I must say on such a hot, action packed day, was a pleasure. We had a tour of the plantation tasting the different fruits picked straight from the tree and then we sat down and had tea (their mint tea is lovely!)and enjoyed fresh bananas - they tasted so good!

We were only small party of 4 and can say a great day was had by all.

Mahmoud is a credit to Sharma Excursions.

We recently visited sharm el sheikh for our honeymoon for two weeks, we booked 5 excursions through Sharm excursions and can honestly say that we were most impressed, we booked 4x4 safari,glass bottom boat,snorkeling trip to Tiran Island,Quad bikes and swimming with dolphins. Every single excursion was fantastic, we were picked up on time for every excursion from our hotel and returned to our hotel afterwards. The sharm excursion reps were friendly and explained rules and regulations for each trip throughly, we really cannot fault them in anyway and would 100% recommend booking with sharm excursions

We visited Sharm El Sheikh from 06/10/20114 for 7 nights. once we had arrived in Sharm el sheikh having checked the website & reviews on trip advisor we decided to book all our excursions with sharm excursions & was really glad we booked with them. The 1 day cairo by plane was a great choice as we had considered doing the bus tour but was glad we took this option as it meant less time travelling & more time seeing the sights.
In Cairo our tour rep was Abdul Ghani who was such a genuine, friendly person who had a passion for Egyptian history & made the whole day very interesting and informative for us. He also ensured we were well looked after & went out of his way to make sure everything ran smoothly.
We visitied the Egyptian museum which was really interesting & as there was just so much to see in there our guide made sure we got to know about the most interesting areas in a clear & concise way. We then took the boat ride on the river nile which was very relaxing & had the buffet lunch on a boat restaurant which was nice. Following lunch we went to visit the pyramids which was breath taking & learning the background on them was fascinating to say the least. This was definatly one of the highlights of the trip.Finally we visited the perfume shop which was ok but would have preferred to visit the Grand Bazaar which would have been more fun. We would like to thank Abdul for being such a great tour guide & sharm excursions for arranging the whole trip with great efficiency.
Thanks again
Saab & Syeda

A fantastic trip. Our tour guide Mahmoud was the best. His knowledge of the city is outstanding. He made the trip for me and my friend. Easy to understand and learnt so much.

Recommend highly. Great company great tour. Loved the day and would love to re visit luxor.

We used Sharm Excursions for several trips 4 years ago and were so happy with the service that we came back again for more this year.

We went to Cairo for the day and loved every minute of it. Lilly our guide was amazing. She was super knowledgeable, fun, organised and entertaining. Loved the pyramids and the perfume/oil Bedoin house - thought the papyrus shop was a bit pushy, but interesting to see how it was made.

We would definately used Sharm Excursions again. They do exactly what it says on the tin - and Lilly just added to it. Thank you.

We have just returned from Sharm last week, I had heard alot about Sharm Excursion from various people, made some enquiries before we travelled and can honestly say we were not disappointed. Our hotel rep advised us not to book with outside agents as they do no have the correct insurance, please do not let this put you off from booking, firstly they they will save you money (expecially if you are a large family) and secondly they are very professional in every way. We booked our Luxor trip for 3 on our 3rd or 4th day using their website, choose our date and paid a 10% deposit per person using paypay. Within a hour we were sent a message confirming a meeting time with their rep and pay the rest in cash. We was a little concerned at first to pay a total stranger cash in advance but went with our instincts. Sami the rep arrived with a Blue Star sign as promised and met us outside our resort, he sat us in his car explained the procedure and handed us vouchers for our trip. We had mentioned on our booking that we did not have the visas in place to fly to Luxor and were informed that these could be arranged on the day. To our suprise he had already bought them and put them and handed them to us, we did not have the money with us (£20 each) to give to him and he said not to worry and to give them to him on the day of the trip, his exacts words were 'If you could trust giving us £398 pounds in advance, the least we can can do is trust you to pay £60'. This completely put our mind to rest, we were collected at 4am on the day and driven to the airport, again Sami explained what would happen and we were met by Marwa the guide in Luxor who gave us a introduction, gave us a brief insight of Luxor first and arranged for water and drinks on route to our 1st stop. Her knowledge of Luxor and history was simply amazing, she made us at ease and explained everything in detail. The Valley of the Kings and seeing Tutankhamans tomb (at £10 extra) was simply breathtaking as per the were the Temple of Hatshepshut and Karnak Temple, some of the tombs are well preserved. The heat did reach 55-57 deg but please do not let this put you off, seeing the ancient history with your own eyes is simply extrodinary. A nice lunch was arranged, followed by more site seeing and then we went on nile boat ride to a small island who gave us organic watermelons - WOW !!!!. We were then driven back to the airport and arrived at our resort by 9pm.
Sharm Excursions are simply the best, my husband booked a 2nd day trip with them and flow to Cairo, again the same service. Thank you to Marwa, Sami and Mohammed for making our trip a memorable one, we will definately use you again in the not too distance future.

This was a great trip. Highlight of our holiday. Ibriham our guide was such a nice genuine guy and stood up for the group when we accidently took photos when we should not have and locals were trying to make us pay.

I would recommend you bring GBP as the local exchange rate works against you it turns out being 12:1 compared to 10:1 which is the rate you get back at the UK so it ended costing a good £20 more pp.

The only negative I would write is that on the website the itinerary said you get to go shopping in Cairo bazaars but this never happened and I had really been looking forward to that - to experience some real Egypt. So that needs to be removed from the itinerary details but overall amazing and again thanks to Ibriham.

We were advised by our guide that the original day we booked was really busy and suggested a day with fewer people. This was really appreciated and our group was only 6. This made the tour much more enjoyable and personal. Our guide, Will, made sure we had the best experience possible from picking us up to the end of the day. It's a long day but worth it for a cultural experience away from touristy Sharm - and take the flight, the bus journey would be even longer!!

AMAZING!!!
We went on this tour on 07/05/2014. Me and my parents total 3 people.
I booked the private trip as I was with my parents who, come from Bulgaria and don't speak English, so we needed a bit more flexibility for translation purposes.
What can I say. EVERYTHING went really smooth. The payment and the organisation part was really fast and easy. Very easy transfers from Sharm to Cairo, no hustle at all. Everyone that was suppose to meet us at the different places, our hotel in Sharm, Cairo airport, back at Sharm airport was there, punctual.
Our Guide in Cairo, Will was fantastic. Knew everything about Egypt, the Pyramids, the city Cairo, he was just BRILLIANT.
We started the day with a visit to the Egyptian museum. We learned so much. Saw the entire treasure of Tutankhamun. Then we opted for the boar ride on the nile to get to the restaurant (fantastic experience). The after lunch off to see how papyrus is made. Then to the Pyramids. This was the most fantastic place I have seen. We both the Camel ride and went further into the desert to have a brilliant view of the Pyramids. Then we went to see how Arabic perfumes are made and then back to Sharm.
We loved it. Brilliant experience.
Thanks to our guide Will who made it unforgettable.

We had a fantastic time on this excursion. It was definitely the highlight of our holiday. I would recommend this trip to anyone and would definitely recommend to book excursions through this site. Our guide Mya was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, and made us feel at ease straight away. It was such a packed day. Thank you sharm excursions!!

We just came back from Sharm El Sheikh where we have experienced this fantastic Quad biking + camel riding + stargazing experience with SharmExcursions.
Running with a quad in the magic atmosphere of the desert is something amazing.
The guides (Titus and Ibrahim) were so funny, friendly and highly competent. My girlfriend had a problem with her quad and she was immediately helped by an instructor.
We definitely had a great time!

We had booked an excursion with Sharm Excursions previously so we knew them to be very reliable and generally very very good. Our resort had warned us not to book with other tour operators outside of the resort and this is completely wrong. Sharm Excursions are very reputable and we trust them completely. Our guide this time round was Marwa and she was just lovely. She tailored the day tour of Luxor to our needs and asked us along the way if everything was ok and if we needed anything else. She even went into a store on the way to the Valley of the Kings to get us some cartons of juice. Marwa was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of the Gods and Egyptian Kings and Queens. We loved every moment of listening to her share her vast knowledge. Our lunch was provided and the restaurant Georgina was just lovely. We had a 3 course meal including the most tender shami kebab. The day started at 4am and we got back to our hotel at 9pm but the day was not too long (even for me at 5 months pregnant). There was a fair bit of walking but the walking was at our pace and was not strenuous. Valley of the Kings was simply amazing and we paid the extra 100 Egyptian pounds (about £10) to get into Tutankhamuns' tomb which was well worth it to see the boy king himself and his incredible coffin. We went from there onto Queen Hatshepsuts' temple which was very grand and then we were given the choice of visiting Karnak temple or Luxor temple. We chose Karnak temple (the larger of the 2) and we were not disappointed.
Please, please, please do not be put off of booking excursions outside of your resort as there was no trouble at all certainly in Luxor and please choose Sharm Excursions as they really know their stuff and they are lovely people to spend a day with. We were so glad to have such a brilliant guide in Marwa.

Amazing trip to Cairo - very safe and well looked after. Also booked the glass boat, aqua park and stargazing. All of which were fantastic and would highly recommend!
We were picked up on time all the time and the guys were very friendly and reliable :)

Traveling with my son - a wheelchair user, it was vital that we were collected from the airport with no problem. 'Sharmexcursions' driver held up a card with our name on arrival and was very helpful - same on the return journey two weeks later. Very reliable, we will use them again.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Our guide, Sami, was excellent. He was very attentive and spent a lot of time with us, explaining things and, on the return trip home, gave us lots of local information and answered all our questions. Sami was brilliant. After a short trip into the desert we first had a camel ride which felt longer than 20 minutes. The camel ride took us to the Bedouin tents where we drank tea and helped make the Bedouin bread. After that we climbed a very small mountain to watch the sun set. Although there were other groups of people there, this was very peaceful and tranquil. We then returned to the tents for Shisha and Bedouin food which was lovely. A whirling dervish dance and fire dance followed, both of which were excellent. Then, the highlight for me was the star-gazing. There were telescopes set up to see the moon and Venus and a different guide who was exceptionally knowledgeable talked us through the main stars and constellations, pointing them out with a strong laser. He answered a lot of questions with ease. The sky was so clear you could see the Milky Way, which I've never seen, and even some shooting stars.
If you do go, remember to take a tip for the camel boys.
A brilliant trip with the best guides ever.
Thanks again to Sami,
Rachael and Beth,
Brighton

Booked this trip and went on Tue the 29th of October 2013. Me and my partner were unsure about this trip and almost cancelled last minutes due to recent troubles in Cairo. So glad we did not do this as we went ahead and loved it. Ahmed was our tour guide and met us at Cairo airport and he took us to the museum, where he had so much interesting information to tell me and my partner and also another guy who was on the tour. We then had a boat trip on the Nile to get to our lunch. We then went to the pyramids, and wow is all i can say. You cannot appreciate them till you see them yourself and we got them to ourselves as there was hardly any tourists there.... Perfect time to go! After this we were then taken to a shop that made oils made from flowers and got to smell the lotus oils and told how they made then. After this we were taken to be shown how the papyrus paper, excuse the spelling was made. We were then taken back to the airport to go back to our hotel in Sharm. We had no problems what so ever and we loved our trip. If you have a doubt, don't, go for it, the experience is amazing. A big thank you to Ahmed that made our trip comfortable and memorable. We cannot wait to book up again and see the valley of the kings next time.

We met our rep at the beginning of the holiday at the Hotel entrance as agreed and paid our deposits and received our tickets - he also advised us what we need to take on each trip - on this trip we just need scarves but these were availabe to buy on arrival

The young man who accompanied us on this trip was brilliant (didn't get his name but he was from Alexandria?) and he really made the trip special.

The camel ride was excellent, if a little uncomfortable!! The bedouin tent was a great experience, the food was smashing and the entertainment was great (I'm running out of adjectives!!)

The sky was so clear and my husband and daughter were amazed to be able to see the Milky Way

All in all a great trip, would definitely recommend

Travelled to Cairo with my children (8 and 5 yrs) and my mother on 31st July 2013. We were met at the airport by our tour guide Will who was fantastic, knowledgeable and excellent with the children. Our first stop was Cairo museum, no sign of any disturbances, but there was a strong military presence which neither myself or my children found troublesome. The museum was fantastic, it was a shame as only a hand full of tourists were there to appreciate how brilliant it is. We travelled down the Nile by boat to our restaurant which provided an excellent lunch, then it was on to the pyramids. We found the pyramids amazing and went inside a small one to see the chambers, then it was on to the sphinx . We also had time during the day to visit papyrus and perfume stores and purchased some lovely gifts. We had been a bit worried about going on the trip due to the recent events, but Cairo was safe and the trip was an experience which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to Mohamed and all the team for a wonderful day which was the highlight of a fantastic holiday.

Had the best time, great trip, very private and Pyramids were awesome, 25/04/2013, it was safe, loved the food and boat trip, thank you Will it was superb, I would recommend you go to Egypt as it was safe and its an unmissable experience run by friendly and professioanl staff was great to meet owner Mohammed too, many thanks, stay safe and see you all soon

What a fantastic and exciting day! Me and my boyfriend want to visit Cairo and we choose this lovely company who send us their best tour guide, Lily and their best driver, this is very important, because the traffic is hectic. Lily was very funny, enthusiastic and full of knowledge about Egypt, Cairo, Pyramids. This amazing day started with a little tour of Cairo, then visiting the Egyptian Museum, arriving at the Papyrus Institute, buying some real papyrus, and finally the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. What an awesome feeling seeing the Pyramids and finding out their mystery. For a panoramic view of Pyramids we had to ride the camels, what an exciting journey! Our trip day finishes with a Bedouin tea and smelling a lots of beautiful fragrances.
Was a perfect day with lovely Lily who took a lots a pictures of us make us feeling specials. Such a understanding people, because during the day I have changed my mind a lots of times. Great memories and great people! Thank you for this incredible moments! :)

Definatley the best day of our two week holiday. We got picked up around 4.30am to be taken to sharm airport. The staff were friendly. Well organised and most importantly on time. After the chaos of the airport we were met upon our arrival by our guide "Wil". What a lovely, genuine and helpful guide he was!He even bought up water and Ice creams in Cairo aswell as taking photosfor all our party whilst at the sights. The whole day was planned out excellently and everything was just as described at time of booking. I would definatly use sharmexcursions again when I return to Egypt, I plan to visit Petra and the valley of the kings.

Great Trip. Saw so much in the trip. The guide could not have been any more knowledgable if he tried. Always had an answer to the question. We were only on a bus for a minimal time. The group we were with were friendly which made it even better. We were taken up the Nile to a Banana Farm where we got to try the Bananas and Water mellons they were growing. Got back at a good time in the evening. Thew plane compony they were used were very good. Free drinks on a budget airline A*!!

Thanks to everyone that made our tour such a great one!!

This tour was 1 of the best I have ever been on. I thought we would get 15 minutes on the quad bikes. How wrong was I. We were driving through the desert for at least a hour and half. the other parts of the tour was very good especially the snake charmer part of the show. Then a half an hour drive back to the coach. A* for this tour. If I had another day I would have done it again!

A great day trip, well worth doing if you are in sharm el sheik. A long and busy day but very enjoyable. Picked up straight at hotel and taken to airport, meet there and told exactly where to go and what to do at the other end.
Met at the other end by english speaking tour guide Will. Stayed with us throughout trip. Taken through streets of Cairo, then to Cairo museum, where Will guided us round then had some free time to look at our leisure.
Went on optional Nile river cruise trip - worth it to say you have been on the Nile! Then it was lunch on the Nile, good choice of food.
After lunch the main part of the trip for us - the pyramids and sphinx. Absolutely fantastic, option of camel ride, worth the £15 to see pyramids from the other side and ride across the desert!
The sphinx was amazing however felt very rushed at this point and only spent around 15 minutes here, so felt we could have been here longer.
Last stop was perfume shop, do not know why this was apart of trip would have preferred longer at sphinx or shopping in Cairo?
Worth spending the money to fly to Cairo and do this day trip.

Having heard about the Luxor and Valley of the Kings day trip from friends who had visited we decided it was a must see on our first trip to Egypt. We had an excellent time from start to finish. Our guide who met us in Luxor was Sahid he was very knowledgeable and explained the timetable for the day he made sure we were happy with the timetable he had arranged and would cater changes for individuals who had previously visited certain tombs etc. We started the visit by visiting the Valley of the Kings where he explained the history and stories relating to the 3 tombs he had chosen for us to visit. After the Valley of the Kings Sahid had arranged for us to stop at a known alabaster factory in the area, where we were given a brief history into the making of the items for sale and provided with tea and cold drinks. We then made our way to Queen Hatshepsut’s temple where again he told us the stories and history behind what we were to see. We then stopped for lunch where a hot and cold buffet meal was provided, Sahid then asked if were keen on going on a short return Nile cruise whilst the mid day temperatures raised to 45c+ to a banana plantation where we were given the freshly cut bananas and watermelons the bananas were the best tasting bananas. On the return leg of the Nile cruise Sahid pointed out the sites of Luxor and told us we were about to visit an approved Papyrus museum where we were shown how they make and create the papyrus art work. Our last visit of the day was a trip to Karnak where once again we were told about all of the history and what the hieroglyphics meant. Overall the sites we had visited that day and the information and history we both gained from our guide Sahid were amazing I would highly recommend this tour guided by Sahid because of the history and knowledge he knows about the sites of Luxor. We learnt so much during our short time in Luxor and the time he took in answering any questions we had gave that personal feel about it, I will certainly be booking another trip to Luxor on our next return to Egypt in the near future.

Amazing day, early start but well organised. Lily our guide was fantastic, she knows her stuff and made it easy for our 3 children to understand. Museum was excellent, cruise up the Nile with lunch was lovely, even the children had plenty to eat. The pyramids, wow, they are fantastic, got to venture inside one, and a camel ride so we could take photos of them lined up. Perfume factory was lovely but I agree u should be given the option of going there as you do feel pressured to buy. So a big thank you to lily, you are amazing and our 3 children loved you.

booked hotel transfers and coach trip to Cairo. Excellent service. Kept in touch with me via text and telephone. Tour guide Will at Cairo was great. He even bought us all an ice cream. Couldn't fault them Second year running g we have booked with them and would recommend them for service and price

I booked four excursions - Cairo by plane, Bedouin dinner with star gazing and camel riding, quad biking and parasailing - and every one was perfect.
Our tour guide in Cairo, Abdul, was friendly and knowledgeable; we learned so much. The whole day was well managed and put together. As well as seeing the museum and pyramids, we were taken on a Nile boat cruise, visited the Papyrus Institute and spent some time learning about oils and perfumes from a lovely chap.
Our tour guide for the Bedouin dinner, Sammy (Sammie?), was funny, friendly and welcoming. He shared lots of interesting facts and stories.
We were always collected on time, the transport had A/C and was comfortable and we were treated like VIPs the whole time.
I can not fault Sharm Excursions. I would love to visit Egypt again and would have no hesitation over booking with these guys again. In the meantime, I will be recommending them to all my friends and family.
Thanks so much to Mohammed and everyone at Sharm Excursions for making our holiday one we will remember for the rest of our lives!
Very best wishes.

We were picked up exactly on time early in the morning and flew to Cairo. Will was our tour guide and you couldn't fault him!! He was absolutely fantastic and had a wealth of knowledge everywhere we went!!! We were in a small group which made it a more enjoyable trip and got to know the other members of the group. Don't listen to what any of the hotels say or try to advise about not booking excursions through themselves. They will rip you off. We saved a small fortune with Sharm Excursions and loved every minute of our trip!! It made our holiday and if were to go back, we would definitely use Sharm Excursions again!! Absolutely brilliant!! Keep up the good work!!

I went on buggy safari and this was great.Everone was really friendly and helpful and from pick up to drop off everything was well organised. Was a fantastic day out and would recomend everyone to use Sharm Excursions when you travel to Egypt. We are travelling back in June and willl 100% be using Sharm Excursions . Thank you very much!

the trip was amazing and we had lovely weather,the food cooked on the boat was great too,and the tour guide was amazing he even had richard on his hands and knees and he did the towel wraps and made him into an elephant with me sat on his back holding the trunk it was well worth the money and would recommend sharm excursions to anyone

This trip was amazing well worth it! Will our tour guide was brilliant looked after us when around pyramids. It was an early start but cario was amazing to see. Musuem was so interesting all the history was soo in depth. Would 100% recommend this trip by plane under 45mins. Thanks Will for an unforgetable time!!

Excellent trip, managed to fit so much in one day. Didn't realise that we were visiting the Blue Hole though so didn't bring our swimming stuff. Note that you have to pay to hire your own equipment, costs around £17.

Amazing!!! Really well organized. Tour guides were great, knew absolutly everything. Excellent tour of the pyramids along with lots of other amazing things. Had a great time and recommend the tour to anybody!

I booked a few trips through Sharm Excursions which included a 1 Day Cairo Trip by Plane, Mount Sinai, Glass Boat, Quad Biking and Buggy Safari. All the excursions were brilliant and the staff / guides were extremely friendly. I looked through various websites which offered excursions in Egypt and Sharm Excursions were by far the most competitive and so much cheaper than if you booked during your stay in Sharm. I was maybe a touch concerned when paying the 10% deposit but after reading all the positive reviews on this company I was fairly comfortable going ahead with them. The process was simple and straightforward from the point of paying the deposit to meeting someone from Sharm Excursions at the hotel lobby. We arranged to meet at 8.30am and a guy named Sammi was already there waiting for us. We paid the remaining balance and received full and final confirmation of all our trips. A personal touch was when we met Mohamed during our Cairo trip around lunch time. He introduced himself and asked if everything was going well. Towards the end of the day we met Mohamed again at the pyramids where we all thoroughly enjoyed his company and thanked him for a great day out. Our guide at the Cairo trip was Abdul who was the best guide we could have asked for. He was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. All our other trips were just as exciting as the Cairo trip and we would like to thank Mohamed and all his staff for making our holiday so special. Thank you guys and hope to meet you again in the very near future.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Cairo through Sharm Excursions. It was very well organised. I booked a couple of days before my trip and paid my deposit online. A representative named Hesham met us at our hotel the day after our arrival to collect the rest of the money (apparently it was done this way to ensure we get the cheapest rate). We were collected from our resort on the day and taken to the airport. The flight was comfortable and they even provided us with snacks on the 1 hour trip. On arrival at the airport in Cairo we were taken to an air conditioned bus and our guide Will was very funny and informative giving us the history of the area and the many landmarks we passed. The trip began at the museum, which was nice. There was a guided tour of all the noteworthy exhibits and then some free time to have a wander on our own. I was very grateful for that, though the museum was a bit crowded. We were then offered a boat trip along the Nile, we had to pay extra for this. I would have preferred it be included in the tour as it was a lovely part of the trip. We were treated to a delicious lunch at a riverside restaurant. We then went on to a papyrus shop which to be honest wasn't included in the description. At first I was a little miffed about this as it was an obvious ploy to get us to buy things. There was also a trip to a perfume store at the end during which we were also encouraged to buy. While I didn't appreciated being sold to against my will and knew clearly that Sharm Excursions must get a share of the commission, I can understand that for some people it is a nice opportunity to visit a good Egyptian store and buy some genuine products. The trip to visit the pyramids and the sphinx was obviously the highlight of the whole trip. We were able to wander around the pyramids, take photos. We even went inside one, which was an interesting experience. Sweaty and unnerving but one I would have missed. It was amazing just being there. Sure there were a lot of people there trying to get you to buy things or take camel rides, or horse rides. But it was no more hassle than you get at Naama Bay and we were able to handle it by being polite, smiling, joking, but saying no thank you and walking away. It only got dicey when the adorable doe eyed kids came out. But we just ran away from the cuteness ;) All in all I'm very impressed with Sharm Excursions and encourage anyone to book with them. We actually ended up doing three different excursions and it made our holiday all the more enjoyable.

Great fun, be prepared to get very dusty. Highly recommend sharm excursions. Afternoon session was great for us as the sunset in the Sharm desert is amazing.

Having looked at several tour companies on line I decided to use Sharm Excursions and was very pleased I did. From paying my deposit on line to meeting me at my hotel and picking me up on the day of the trip they were very efficient and helpful. I was met at Luxor airport by my Egyptian guide who was absolutely brilliant during the day. I was apprehensive about travelling on my own but need not have worried as my guide made me feel comfortable and relaxed all day. He was very knowledgable and gave us very good advice before entering each site. I would certainly recommend Sharm Excursions and would use them again if I returned to Egypt.

We went last week to Cairo 1 day trip, my friend had bad knee and I broken arm, pick up at hotel 1.15 with our bus guide muhmoud, very help full and told a lot.After arrivel to cairo, we got new guide Abudul fore rest of the day at Cario museum, he was very informativ and very good in english, after museum we went to a short boat trip on the nile and have a delicous lunch on a resturant, there we met mohammed owner of sharm ex.,after that we went to a shop where they make paparys after that we wnt to giza and saw the pyramides, so fantacisk. Long day and night but we where so well look after, can only recommend this firm. Thanks

I booked to swim with the dolphins as a surprise for my 3 daughters. I found booking the trip was very easy. After arriving, the following day I paid the rest of the despoit. On the day of our excursion we were picked up on time and the guide was very courteous, made us feel very relaxed. He gave us a insight of Egypt from his prospective which was interesting to myself!!! The guide stayed with us throughout our swim and even took loads of photographs with my camera which he was happy to do. If he did not we would not have the photographs that we did.
I found the whole experience brilliant and my children were just in 'ore' of the dolphins. If I was to return to Egypt, which my children want to go back, I would feel completely secure with the staff from Sharm excursions and would book them again.
Following this my middle daughter received a happy birthday e-mail from Sharm excursions in October which I thought they took the time to do.
Thankyou

our Travel reps from thompsons lied, and said it was not safe to travel with sharm excursions, my wife and i were on our honeymoon and booked directly our self, at this point my wife was ready to cancel at our loss. we inquired about sharm excursions with the hotel staff and residents, all said good things. we found this company to be very professional and helpful, mahdy-will-"H" all very polite and respectful, oh yeah there was a armed guard on the coach too. we went on to enjoy loads more with sharm excursions..

A fantastic day though very early start. Our guide Lilly was brilliant. Visited the Egyptian museum though didn't spend enough time there, optional boat trip along Nile (£10), much better than being on the bus. Buffet dinner on the Nile was great. Visit to Papyrus museum is interesting but haggle!! Pyramids and Sphynx are awesome. Another optional trip up to a verge by either horse drawn cart or camel (£10 pp) to get a better view of the pyramids is recommended and a tip for the guy accompanying you is much appreciated, they will take lots of pics for you. Don't get caught out by unofficial salesmen/harrassers who will pester you and then expect money for showing you how to pose infront of the pyramid or being on a picture. Lastly visit to Perfume shop is interesting but really is a captive sales pitch, a bit of a come down to be honest after seeing the pyramids.
Cairo toilets are disgusting, bring your own tissues/hand sanitizer to avoid having to pay £1 for a piece of toilet paper.

I booked 2 trips before I left England and I am so pleased I did!!! they were a lot cheaper and the same trips!
I mistaked my Cairo trip day and they telephoned me and made sure if I wanted to go I would!! and I did.Fab guide provided for the Cairo trip, so knowledgeable!
i really enjoyed my holiday in Egypt and would def go again,
thank you

The parasailing excursion is brilliant as long as you don't mind being on a boat when the sea is pretty choppy! It was a very exciting experience however my other half did feel quite ill on the boat as you do get thrown around quite a lot. Great experience though!

A worthwhile trip, although having boarded a rather nice boat they then moved us to a rather shabby one. Sami our tour guide was fantastic, giving us some great insight into the Egyptian way of life on route to and from the boat.

Great day, the museum was fantastic, the pyramids and sphinx were awesome, all topped off with our very knowledgeable, friendly and funny guide Will.

What a brilliant laugh this was. My partner and I were novices (haven't ridden for 20-odd years!) so the horses we were given were gorgeous gentle beasts by the names of Sara and Mona-Lisa.

Our guide was Ali Baba (!) who clearly loved the animals and had great control of them... they were so obedient I am sure they would have known the route of their own accord, but responded to his every command anyway. Even having only been shown the basics, we were soon able to canter on them which was slightly scary at first, but Ali Baba was so confident in them and so in control that we soon became comfortable doing it.

After a short stop in a Bedouin tent (beware, when you are offered a much needed drink in there, you will be expected to pay for it!) where the Bedouin girls then sell you their jewellery too - not a complaint, just something it would be good to know about in advance, hence mentioning it here) we re-mounted for our return to the stables.

One of the best elements of this (apart from the hilarious and barking mad Ali Baba) was that towards the end we were joined by a photographer on a quad-bike who took photos and videos of us and by the time we dismounted back at the stables they were all on a laptop there for us to see.

Of course we wanted to buy them... they were so good! It cost about £22 but as we didn't have enough cash on us having been fleeced at the tent the photographer was good enough to drop them at the hotel later that day and collect the payment there... brilliant idea and more than we had expected.

Loved this excursion, great couple of hours well spend!

Amazing excursion, worth the early start (4am!!!), long day and worth every penny! (incidentally, booking through Sharm Excursions saved us around £30 per person against what the travel agents seemed to be charging in resort so was well worth booking in advance with them)

Everything was impeccably well organised and ran smoothly apart from Cairo Airport being a little shoddy causing delays on the return but was nothing that Sharm Excursions could have prevented!

The icing on the cake of an altogether fabulous day was our guide, Abdo. He was so knowledgeable (has several degrees in Egyptology etc which we were all very impressed with) and spoke about everything in such an educated yet entertaining and passionate manner, he held the whole group (small group of 12 of us so you get personal attention) captivated throughout.

Starting with the Museum which was unmissable, we then went on to the Pyramids which were amazing but be prepared for a) being constantly accosted by locals selling tat and b) for a very difficult descent into the Pyramids themselves if you choose to do so (only about 4 foot high down a treacherous hot and dark descent of 30-100 meters, depending on which Pyramid you go in... wear suitable footwear is all I can advise on that score!)

From there on to the Sphinx which again was phenomenal despite still spoilt slightly by the aforementioned locals, but the guide was careful to ensure everyone was prepared, knew how to respond to them and kept everyone together wherever possible, though you did have your own time for shopping / photos etc.

On that note the guide patiently took pains to take photos of everyone in the group with their cameras which was a lovely touch!

Somewhere in between all this we had a trip on a Nile boat (was an additional £10 but given the choice of that or remaining on the bus everyone chose that and were thrilled that they did), a great lunch where we met SE's owner, the very entertaining Mohammed, a trip to the papyrus museum and to an authentic perfume shop.

What an amazing experience, one we wouldn't hesitate to recommend and thanks to Mohamed and Abdo for a unique and memorable time.

well organised trip. Everything was on time, our driver and guide were great, really made it a brilliant day out.Thank you.

What a fantastic experience provided by Sharm Excursions!

We scoured the internet before our trip in September 2012 to find a reasonably priced trip to Cairo as it was one of the deciding factors for my fiancé when deciding to book the holiday to Sharm. Initially we looked at the plane trip but due to a limited budget we opted for the Coach trip and I'm glad we did.

We arrived in Sharm and were greeted by a friendly representative to take the remainder of the balance from us at our hotel. This was the one thing we had reservations about as were initially told that the rep would meet us outside the hotel, but everything was fine and we handed the money over in the secure surrounding of our hotel lobby and were given the pickup time for the day of the trip.

We arrived at the Egyptian museum to be greeted by our guide for the day Lilly. She was fantastic and had so much knowledge of all the sights we saw and helped us around the pyramids where the sellers can be very persuasive!

Every single stop on the tour was carefully thought out by Sharm Excursions and made for a fantastic day. We only really went for the visit to the pyramids and sphinx but loved the papyrus shop and the perfumery too!

A more than deserved 5* rating - we can't wait to return to Sharm in the future and will go on more trips with Sharm Excursions!!!

A thoroughly enjoyable day in Cairo. Sharm Excursions had everything in hand from start to finish and were extremely organised and knowledgeable about everything "ancient Egypt". The day was well structured, fitting lots in before and after the Pyramids. Camel rides around the Sahara desert and the views of the Pyramids were amazing. Definitely recommend this trip, especially as it was cheaper than the same trip we could have booked from our hotel rep!

we got this trip as a free as a part of a deal at the time and although we maybe wouldnt have thought to go on it at first we really enjoyed it there was a lot to see both below deck and on the roof. nice day time activity. Guide was lovely.

Picked up from the hotel early and driven to the airport where we were informed what to do and where to go when we got to cairo. The airport itself was a bit of a nightmare but cannot blame sharm excursions for that, still worth the money flying by plane made the journey bearable. One in cairo we visited the museum which was amazing and had a guide show us around with a little free time at the end which meant we could pay to go inside the royal mummies which we would highly recommend. The pyramids were amazing pictures do not do them justice and the guide was brilliant taking photos of our group and explaining the sights we were seeing

This trip was amazing loved the camel ride which took us across the dessert to where we had our meal. climbed up some of the rocks to watch the sun go down over the dessert then tried bread making with the locals. We had our own private buffet of delicious food with and endless supply of drinks all included in the price. The star gazing was really interesting and over all the trip was very well organised. completley recommend!

Great day out !! Camels were fun, meal with Bedouins was delicious & stargazing surprisingly informitive & interesting.......

would recommend

Fantastic day & great value for money Only minus point was being stopped @ every police checkpoint on the way home for more than half an hour @ a time (SE couldn't control that !)

an excellent trip, brilliant tour bus and wonderful, knowledgeable guide. Would recommend to anyone! And to top it off we had a tour size of just 9 people, wonderful personalised trip.

We travelled to sharm between 1st july and the 15th july in a group of 8 joint by two others half way through. When i found sharm excursions online i was dubious to book and pay a deposit and then hand over £1100 when we arrived to someone completely random, but this worry proved a complete waste of time as all excursions were fantastic and run like clockwork.

We done parasailing, Aqua Park, Snorkeling at Tiran Island, quad biking and Cairo by plane. All excursions were brilliant!!! Egypt was the best snorkeling i have ever experienced and recommend this excursion to any keen snorkelers. Quad biking was well well worth doing, absolutely brilliant experience.

On our trip to Cairo( approx 45 min flight) we were picked up at 4.45am and the early morning was definitely well worth it. When we arrived in Cairo we were greeted by our guide Lilly, who was absolutely brilliant!!! We were extremely fortunate to by privately taxied in our group for the whole day opposed to being on a coach-load of people all day. Lilly was extremely knowledgeful about the area and the ancient egyptians.

We first headed to the Cairo museum, which we were shown the best bits and given some free time to look around and explore what we wanted to see. To be perfectly honest you could spend days in the museum if you wanted to view everything.

From there we went on a boat trip along the nile which cost 100 egyptian pounds per person (£10) but was definitely worth it. Lunch was great, then we went to a papyrus factory.

From there we went on to the pyramids and sphinx, which was spectacular!!! the ticket includes entry to the smaller pyramid which is a must, also you can get a camel or horse ride into the desert to get the best pics of the pyramids. After that we were taken to a perfume factory, where we met Mohammed. We were pleasantly surprised that he asked for feedback both good and bad which we thought was good as most people take no notice of bad feedback. This Excursion is definitely worth the money!!!

The Aquapark is brilliant, its the bigger of the two parks in sharm, they only allow 2 bottles of water into the park, which you expect to get ripped off for drink but bottles of coke/sprite are only 1 pound, plus your ticket entitles you to a free lunch and drink.

Overall i think Sharm Excursions were a great company and we have no regrets what so ever, everything was Great!!!! Thank you Mohammed and Lilly for completing a fantastic holiday!!!

Would highly recommend and use again!!

This was a really wonderful day - we learnt so much from our tour guide Hamada, he was brilliant. THe optional trip to banana island is a must. Overall a fantastic day - everyone should do this when in Egypt!

We went for a day trip to Cairo to see the piramids and it was amazing and were very well looked after. Not to miss this. The only snag was the boat ride on the Nile broke down and had to wait for another one which somehow shortened our time for shopping. But on the whole it was nice experience and would recommend it to anyone.

Recently returned from Sharm El Sheikh, but whilst there went on the bus trip to Cairo. Very organised: Paid deposit prior to leaving UK and then the morning after arrival met a representative from Sharm Excursions who took the rest of the payment and provided instructios for the trip. It was nice to see that they were security conscious and assured us that the trip would not go ahead, if it was not deemed safe to do so. Glad to say trip did go ahead. Coach journey as comfortable as they can be, but unable to use toilet on bus as it was out of order. This did present some difficulties with two children, but we managed. One stop at service type station en route to use bathroom facilities and top up with food/water/stretch legs. Journey there took almost 8 hours and we were two hours late, but I gather that this was due to checkpoints. Several checkpoints on the way, which we imposed for safety reasons, so again, can't really complain.
Went to the Egyptian Museum first upon arrival in Cairo. Fascinating experience and the guide provided by Sharm was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and good fun. She took family photos during the day and looked after us well. The Museum did not have any air conditioning, which was very uncomfortable and to be honest spoilt the experience - really hot, humid and you were happy to leave asap, even though there was loads to look at. Next went on a boat trip along the River Nile to the restaurant. Food a bit limited but OK. To be honest, it was so hot, you didn't really feel like eating. Next went onto the Pyramids/Sphinx-these lived up to all expectations and the visit inside the Baby Pyramid was fantastic.
Following that went to see how Papyrus was made into paper and visited a perfume factory. Again, all very interesting and informative. Mohammed (Owner of Sharm Excursions) met us at the restaurant at lunchtime and then again at the end of the day. He was very interested to know how our day had gone and whether there was anything he could do to enhance our experience and those of others in the future. Afterwards he then instructed the guide to buy the trip some ice creams at his expense. Really nice gesture and much appreciated. I thought that the trip was well organised and I would recommend it to others highly. Not sure I would undertake the long journey to Cairo on a bus, if I had to do this again, but the money we saved, then enabled us to do other trips, so I guess you can't have everything! Thanks for a wonderful experience Mohammed!

Enjoyed this trip, however there was a lack of information given regarding using the quads lukily me and my partner had experience of this trip before therefore it was not as bad for us but those doing it for the first time need more instructions. There was only x1 tea given to each participant on the trip, other drinks such as; cold, was on offer but at a charge which was very unfortunate. Also me and my partner felt that there were to many short breaks that were pointless to the trip.

Enjoyed this excursion, but would definately recommend more of an introduction to it. Me and my partner entered onto the Semi Submarine and did not realise that to see the fish and coral we had to go downstairs on the boat in order to do so. We automatically presumed that the submarine would leacve the top of the sea and head under water, needs more description.

We did this trip along with snorkeling and would thoroughly recomend

Relaxing hour on the boat watching all the pretty fish through the glass bottom.

Great evening. Camel riding not to be missed, fantastic scenery. Food and dancers great. My bread making needed more practice

We were told not to book with anybody else but our tour operator in UK. However,we booked our excursions with Sharm Excursions before traveling to Egypt... and it was the right decision!!! We went not only to Cairo but also to the Dolphins Show, Swimming with Dolphins and Rhino Safary. The excursions were exactly as described and a lot cheaper than the ones offered by our tour operator here!!! We will recommend this company 100%. They were very helpful with all questions that we had before booking and they arrive always on time for the trips in Sharm. Thanks a lot for a great time in Sharm!!!!

We were a group of four that did the Sunrise excursion, what a GREAT experience, defiantly recommend it to all! We all had lots of fun and how wonderful to see the sunrise in the desert.

Thank you Mohamed and the Sharm Excursion Team.

What a real Egyption evening - the camel ride, bread making watching the sun set in the dessert, a lovely meal and a smoke on the shisha, belly dancing and wow all those stars and got to see saturn through the telescope.
An amazing excursion definatly recmommended

Great value for money. An extremley long - 26 hour trip on and off the bus but with 'H' our guide for the day made it worthwhile.
our first stop was at the museum where we met 'lilly' who had all the knowldege on the mummies and kings was very interesting and educational.
we then took a short trip up the Nile to the resturant where we had lunch - when booking ths trip sharm excursions organised a birthday cake for me as it was my mothers birthday and they made it a great day as she was not expecting a thing!
Back on the bus then and over to Giza for the pyramids and spynx which was great to see but only needs to be seen once! we were hassled quite a bit by people trying to sell you stuff just tell them 'no' firmly and they will walk away.
we then went to a bedouin family perfume/oil shop where they gave us refreshments and a demonstration on how they made their products and of course the opportunity to buy!
Then it was back on the bus for our journey back to the hotel.

Booked 4 trips before we travelled to Sharm, Cairo by plane,Bedouin camel ride and star gazing, submarine trip and St Catherines monastery.Every trip was a really memorable occasion all the guides were very professional,friendly and helpful. Would recommend you book with them.

Myself, my husband and daughter booked this trip March 2012 and we had a wonderful day. Sharm excursions were brilliant and we had no problems at all. We took the boat ride along the Nile which we recommend instead of trying to beat the traffic in Cairo. The pyramids were fantastic and thoroughly worth the trip. The only thing my daughter and i didn't like was the hasslers trying to get you to buy stuff at the pyramids but we took the advise of our guide and didn't get into conversation with them or buy from them. Our guide Abdu was fantastic and very knowledgable and we were glad to have him throughout the day. The day was very long and tiring but well worth it and we would definetly use Sharm excursions again.

My daughter and I went to Luxor on the 31st March 2012 and what a day it was from pick up to drop off. Words cannot describe how exciting it was to be in places I have read about, being given all the information I could possibly want by such a knowledgeable guide...John you were a star and gave me a day to remember forever thank you!!!!

So glad we booked this! We had planned to book quad biking and snorkelling but was told by Mohamed about this trip which included banana boat too. Everything was fantastic and very organised. Mohamed was great help during booking and our guides were also very friendly. The only criticism i have is 40 minutes was a long time on the camel so we ended up turning round a little early and rested in the tent for a bit, but quad biking (shared quad bike with my husband), snorkelling, and the banana boat were all great fun. Would definately recomend SharmExcursions and big thanks to everyone for a great day, especially Mohamed! Linda and Andy

This had to be my favourite of the 3 excursions we did with Sharm Excursions. We were collected promtly from our hotel and taken to Dolphina where we had approximately 20 minutes swimming and interacting with the dolphins. A fantastic experience!!! After we had the opportunity to purchase any photos and were then taken back to our hotel =)

Cairo was absolutely fantastic and Mohammed couldnt have been any more helpful during booking. Our guide Lilly was great and extremelly knowledgable. By far the best day of our holiday and cant wait to go back one day - hopefully to see Luxor.

Would thoroughly recomend

We had a wonderful day in Cairo. Visited with my daughter. Very well organised trip. Good to have a female guide as in Sharm there are few female staff and she was very good at keeping the 'hustlers' at bay for us. My daughter and I also felt very safe with someone who knew the city so well. She was very knowledgeable and kept us all amused andinterested.
Full day - lots to see - the Egyptian museum was brilliant and set the context for the visit to the pyramids. We were not so keen on the perfume 'factory' visit as we were a small group and none of us wanted to buy perfume. Therefore we all felt a little pressure, especially as they had provided us with tea and a 'chat',in what is apparently their home.
Also, the trip on the boat to lunch was not optional - there was an expectation that we all took this and it cost extra - if you are aware before, as we were, then this is no trouble, but two of the group were not and felt a little unhappy that they had to pay an extra 100 Egyptian pounds (£10)each - this needs to be made more clear. The lunch was worth it - lots of choice and plenty of it.
There was a camel/horse ride (choice of animal) at the pyramids - this cost extra and again we felt that we had little choice but to except- the view was worth the extra cost but beware that they will ask for further tips at the end - you just need to be clear if you do not want to pay more.
We had the use of a small bus and driver all day so there was not too much walking, the bus was waiting on time for us after the end of each sightseeing part - we were were able to keep any heavy items and jackets on the bus without needing to carry them all day.
Finally, remember that the guide stands outside of Cairo airport as they are not permitted in to the arrivals lounge as other trip representatives are - so don't get worried, like us, that there was no-one to meet you! Just walk on further and they will be there.
If you are going to Egypt then seriously consider this trip - it was worth the money.

Apart from being picked up nearly an hour late from our hotel,it was an amazing day,well worth the money and our guide Mya was great.

This was first time on a camel and was a little scary as my camel kept lifting his leg up to scratch his head and I felt I was going to fall off but didn't. It was such fun and I really enjoyed it. You ride for half hr and at the end of it climb a mini mountain to the top to see the sunset but unfortunately we climbed up too late and missed it. Climbing the mountain is tiring and I don't think suitable for people with walking difficulty. We finished our trip with tea with the bedouin and an attempt to roll out their bread which they cooked and let you have a piece. Would have been nice if we could have ridden the camel back instead of going on bus. Ps take some small change for tipping your camel leader who has to walk with your camel.

My boyfriend and I booked 5 trips with Sharm Excursion and all went really well and were pretty much as expected. This trip was very relaxing, though unfortunately for us the day was a bit windier and cloudier than would have been ideal. However, the water wasn't too cold, even in December, and we saw some really big and nice looking reefs. We didn't see anything too interesting in terms of sea life compared to what we had already seen snorkeling at our hotel, but this may just have been the day we went. I had never snorkeled before coming to Egypt, and when I jumped in at our first stop I freaked out a bit, but the professional snorkeling guide we had helped me out and let me hold onto a life preserver ring as we joined the group in the water so that I didn't miss the experience. I held on to the preserver until I had gained the confidence to go out on my own, so don't worry if you're scared! The people take care of you. Overall, it was a nice, relaxing trip!

My boyfriend and I booked 5 trips with Sharm Excursion and all went really well and were pretty much as expected. Quad biking was really fun, but it could have been more fun if we had more freedom to go fast and meander a bit. I didn't realize this going in, but it was more of a follow the leader sort of thing through the desert, usually at a decent pace but once I got comfortable (I had never driven a 4-wheeler before) I found my self really wanting to go faster! Aside from that, the scenery was fantastic and we had a nice visit at a bedouin camp where we were served tea. Overall, a good trip to get out and see the desert and mountains a bit!

My boyfriend and I booked 5 trips with Sharm Excursion and all went really well and were pretty much as expected. The trip to Cairo was one of my favorites, aside from the long bus ride. We were picked up around 1:30am and rode for 5.5hr on a big charter bus, stopping once for a break. Once we arrived in Cairo we had a great english guide to take us around the Egyptian Antiquities museum. From there we took a short ride down the Nile (worth the extra money) to where we had lunch (buffet, ok not great). Then we drove to Giza and went around the Pyramids and Sphinx and we had the option to take Camel rides and had plenty of time to take great photos. Our last stop was a Bedouin perfume shop which was awesome. Then the long ride home, arriving about 12:30am or so. Overall, a very worthwhile trip, especially for the price! (Don't forget to bring toilet paper for on the bus and in Cairo, it seems to be absent in most public toilets!)

Impressive excursion and brilliant guid Will. Thank you:)

Had a fantastic time on this trip - our guide Hisham was brilliant and very knowledgable. We were picked up promptly and accompanied by our guide throughout. He made sure we were looked after and provided us with info throughout the trip. The excursion was good too, because we had booked with Sharm Excursions we had VIP service for dinner and didn't have to queue up like all the other tourists with other companies.
Will definately be booking future excursions with this company when we return. Highly recommended, professional service.

Myself and my Parnter did this tour and really enjoyed it. We were a bit concerned after booking due to the recent troubles reported in cairo but our Guide was very reassuring and in fact we had no issues at all even in the centre of cairo. The highlights were the museum of antiquities and seeing the pyramids, but it was nice to see some local businesses like the perfume factory and the boat trip on the Nile. I would highly recommend this

Excellent trip. Well organised and people were very easy to deal with.

Excellent excursion and extremely knowledgable guide made the long journey from Sharm worthwhile.
Totally enjoyed the day

Sharm Excursions were excellent my daughter and I were picked up in a private car by a driver and our guide Heesan, we had a fantastic evening firstly riding camels then making Beduin bread, drinking tea and a delicous buffet whilst watching a belly dancer and traditional show.
Heesan was was very attentive and informative he answered many questions about the beduin culture and Egptian traditions and never left our side. We were joined by an arabian family of 5 who sat with us all evening and my daughter was suprised with a lovely birthday cake for 30 something birthday.Finally we viewed stars in the dessert with the help of a very informative young astrologer and Jupiter and the moon through a telescope, all other trips seemed to be of 25+ people ours seemed very exclusive. Heesan was a superb guide we would like to Thank him. Trisha and Cheryl.

Fantastic evening,well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. We also got to meet Mohammed the owner of the company who came and experienced the evening with us - Mohammed came with his wife and young son Abdullah to make sure the service and performance people were expecting was what they received, i was impressed by this hence my review. Feedback from customers is key and what makes a company work as they are reliant on recommendation mostly. I would thoroughy recommend this company and will be booking again with them next year for when i return.

10 out 10 . third trip with sharmexcursions well run company . would recomend to anybody already makeing bookings for my good friends in uk .

Thankyou Mohamed for a fantastic day! This is excellent fun and would definitely recommend to anyone else coming to Sharm. Wish we had more of this sort of thing in England!

This was great fun and about the best way i can think of for seeing the great deserts in Sharm! Would recommend to all

Thank you to all at SharmExcursions especially Mohamed! Lovely night and would definitely recommend.

We went to Cairo by plane on 17th October.

Our guide Will was just the best, we really like him! He was our walking encyclopedia for Egypt, very informative and clearly spoken.

Tour was a long day but was paced well enough to keep us going and I believe it covers enough to see all the main sites and the real Cairo.
Museum, boat trip down the Nile to restaurant for lunch, Papyrus shop, Pyramids with an option to go down inside one for free, Sphinx, Tour quiz and finally the Perfumery.

We were shown around each place and then given time to wonder around by ourselves if we wanted to. We never felt like we were rushed for time. Throughout the day our comfort was paramount and we had plenty of toilet breaks, an air conditioned bus and drink breaks and we also even a really nice treat; Will bought ice creams for all of us! Thanks Will xxx

Generally the trip was briliiant and definitely the highlight of our holiday.
Will was amazing and made the experince as perfect as could be.
We would most definitely recommend this Sharm Excursions to anyone. Excellent value and cheaper than competitors.

Once in a lifetime experience and well worth it!! Thank you!!

We booked 2 trips and an hotel transfer with sharm excursions before leaving the UK based really on the reviews on here. I dont regret it for a minute. after paying a deposit in the uk our guide Sami who was waiting at the airport for us to take us to the hotel took the balance of the money gave us our tickets and explained exactly what we would need, times etc. Once at the hotel he stayed with us to check in and and took our room number and contact phone number in case of problems. Everything was extremely well organised the guides were very knowledgeable as well as being entertaining. We had Sami for the Bedouin dinner and Moya in Cairo both faultless. When I go back to Egypt I will certainly use this company again. Please ignore what the tour operators say this company provide an excellent service at half the cost. I could not fault anything.

My boyfriend and I loved this excursions-it was our favourite of the holiday.Riding a camel was so cool, if not a little scary.We was met on time(as usual)by our guide 'H' who was lovely. We were chauffered to a dessert to embark on our ride. Small children guide the camels and tips are expected so make sure you take some small notes to give them. We then met the bedoiun people who live in the desert. They were so hospitable and allowed us to try their tea and bread and shisha. As the sun set we climbed a small mountain and could watch the sun set on the desert. It was beautiful and a definite must do!!

WOW, can I just say first of all a massive thank you to Sharm Excursions, in particular our tour rep Abdol who was truly fantastic.

My boyfriend and I had the most fantastic memorable day and it is all thanks to you. I cannot praise or thank Sharm Excursions enough. They put a lot of hard work into what they do and it certainly shows.

Cairo is an amazing place and a complete must-see and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt.

As per the website instructions, you pay a small 10% deposit when you book, then you meet one of the reps and pay the rest out there. You receive your receipt and full details of the day and pick-up times etc. The trip is very well organised and planned and you have nothing to worry about other than making sure, and you seriously must make sure you have with you some suncream, a hat and/or sunglasses with you because when you are at the Pyramids, the sun is beating down and it is tough. Abdol made sure we all kept hydrated and actually right before our stop at the Pyramids he went out and fetched us all a cold bottle of water each despite us all protesting we were fine! (Just shows how stubborn us Brits are).

I really can't say enough about how brilliant our tour guide was. Abdol was so passionate and informative, he knows so much history and there isn't anything he couldn't answer. Abdol also looked after us very well and we felt so safe and secure during this day out. I am so glad we booked up with Sharm Excursions. You receive a top class service at a discounted price, we were also in a small group of 8 so you really feel you are receiving a personalised service.

At the end of the excursion we found out from Mohammed and the team that there had been some "trouble" in Cairo which was splashed all over British TV. You will find in interesting to note we did not see one bit of trouble in Cairo during the whole day so it just shows how the media works in our country and it is embarrassing. Please do not be put off visiting this wonderful place, Egyptians love their tourists and wouldn't put us in danger.

Finally, I just want to say a massive thank you to Sharm Excursions. We cannot wait to come back to Egypt and will definitely be planning further excursions with this operator.

Thank you.

We booked 4 trips with sharm excusrsions paying just 10% deposit & the balance on arrival. I found them very friendly, well organised and professional. Our guides were very knowledgeable and frienly and took great care of us throughout the trips, a BIG thank you to "H", Mohay(my family),Muhammed & everyone whose names I forget, Our holiday in Egypt was awesome, the trips were something else, this place has definately got the WOW factor, the Pyramids in Cairo, the Valley of the Kings and the Karnak Temple in Luxor are absolutely breath taking, " how did they do that?" We will never know, one thing I do know is they are spell binding as they stand today, one can only imagine their true beauty and splendour in their heyday.

Our other two trips took us into the desert with a camel ride & Bedoin tea, a great experience, but the best fun I've had in years was the quad bikes, FANTASTIC, loved every second and still talking about it.

I would recommend this site to anyone who is looking to book trips during their stay in Egypt not only will you be well looked after you will pay a lot less with these guys than you will with your rep.

Very well organised but the quads were a little battered.the suspension was shot and very heavy steering but what do you want for twenty nicker.
Definitely worth booking this trip

We had a lovely day. The whole event was organised and interesting. I would do it all again. Thank you very much.

We used Sharm Excursions for our trip to Cairo from Sharm and they were brilliant. It was our first time in Egypt and the whole day they organised was great. Our guide, 'Will', was superb and made the day what it was. There were only a few of us on the tour so it felt private - the minibus was modern and comfotable and we found out so much about the 'real egypt'. I strongly recommend using Sharm Excursions as we also found the price very good compared to the tour operators in the hotels.

this trip is well worth the money and the view from the top makes it well worth the effort of getting there. we were collected from hotel about 10pm and the drive lasted about 3 hours. on reaching our destination the tour guide explained that we would have our own local guide who would take us up the mountain and supplied us with torches to help light the way and then we set off to the first station.the climb is not easy and unless you consider yourself to be really fit i would think twice about making the climb and hire the camel. if you decide to climb and find its too difficult conserve your energy and go for a camel which you can get at any point on the climb,because your gonna need every last bit of energy to climb the 700 so called steps. at this bit i think you need to be part mountain goat to negotiate these huge steps(boulders), lots of people ended up on their hands and knees including myself at one point. on reaching the summit its a case of cameras ready and wait for the magnificent sunrise. it does get cold on the summit but there is plenty of people who will hire/sell you a blanket for a few pounds.

This was an excellent trip and well worth the money.It's really flat desert with only a few bumps so is not dangerous.Highly recommended!!

In General a good trip, well organised.
The tour guide was incredibly knowledgable about Egypt.

Downside was the amount of rubbish around cario and the pyraimds. Also the continuing hassle from the souvenir sellers. And everyone, but everyone wanting a tip (asking for a tip as well).
its too much...........

The journey in the coach was tiring, difficult to get to sleep with hindsight maybe flying would have been better.The tour guide showed us and explained in great detail what we were looking at.Extremely helpful in the Egyptian museum as there were too many exhibits to see and not know what they were.The guides explanations not only of the things we were seeing but also about Egyptian life both in the past and current was superb.Everything was as we expected.Glad we done the two day trip as there was a lot crammed into the first day.

A very long but also very worthwhile trip. Our guide Abdul was very informative and really made the trip very enjoyable. The highlight for Basia was the visit to the perfume manufacturer,the owner Idal is one of the nicest person we met in Egypt and very funny. Would recomend the trip to anyone. Just remember to take a pillow for the coach. Its a 7 hour drive each way.

GREEEEEAAAAAATTTT FUUUUUUUUN and only 20 quid per person.
we went on sunrise trip.
it was great we started at 3 am from our hotel we drive some 20 minutes by bus and we get to the quad base.
then we went to desert at night. very noisy and dust everywhere. great fun much recommended.

Booked excursion right here on sharmexcursions.com and glad I did now. Was met at the Hotel by Mustafa and paid the remaining balance for the trip to Cairo. felt a bit dodgy at first about handing over cash without any real proof except for a receipt but there was nothing to worry about at all. Now the trip to Cairo was first class and was a better price than the other providers for the same trip.
Guide for the Day was Abdul.. cool pleasant guy a real gentleman and was super passionate about everything we should know about the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum and Tutankhamun. Great knowledge and a great guy.. made a good friend. He kept us right about everything including the locals who want you to buy from them etc but you will get that in most countries these days just say no and they will leave you alone.
Had a small group of six of us all from Scotland so we were all very comfortable and Abdul understood us too most of the time I think. Went for Buffet meal in the centre of Cairo (Happy Dolphin)after the Museum tour and met Mohammed the owner too who took the time to sit down with us and had a chat, he makes an effort to get to know his customers and looks after his customers very well (great Buffet meal and then he gathered us all together for a group photo, an anniversary celebration for another customer and then some champions league cake to wash it down with). can't praise these guys enough. they provide an excellent service and are very friendly also. they like doing what they do and I have to say they do it very well. I hope this helps anyone who has reservations about this. One last thing we also met Ande or better known as Andelino who owns the Temple Essence Flower shop and that was good fun also. He is a kind man and offers great hospitality too in his shop where you are offered a drink before trying out the many different types of pure flower EDT fragrances he has in store and they all smell great. there is no pressure to buy anything as some of us did and some of us didn't so the choice is yours. Second chapter... hehe that's the end I hope it is of some use to the folk thinking of doing this tour.. it was in my opinion money well spent.

very professional and friendly would thouroughly recommend this company and would definately use them again

I booked the 1 day trip to Cairo and I thought Sharm Excursions were brilliant start to finish. Booking was so easy and convenient. The exact same trip with Thomsons was more than twice the price for all of the trips. I paid deposit before I left via pay pal, and received an e mail advising how to pay balance. A rep met me in the reception of my hotel and I was able to pay in sterling or Egyptian. My tour guide Abdol Nassar was excellent and a very knowledgeable Egyptologist.

I would recommend you take a pillow for the bus trip, although the bus is fine and well air conditioned. I slept for 4 hours on the outward trip so it did not seem too long. Most hotels will provide a breakfast box for you to take along on the trip.

We visited an Essence shop ran by Abdol's uncle and it was brilliant (much better than the papyrus factory so if you get an option ask for the Essence shop!). The essences are so good and they can match any perfume EDT that you care to request. Adelino is so knowledgeable and his family have run the business since 1923. He also made us feel so welcome with free drinks (recommend the peppermint tea also known as Egyptian Whisky) - there are some things for free in Egypt! There was absolutely zero pressure to buy anything but most people did.

All in all a fantastic trip for unbelievable price.

Booked 3 Excursions with Sharm Excursions, Aqua Park, Boat trip to Tiran Island & Quad Biking, All trips were excellent, the Boat trip was great the Guys on the boat were lovely, boat wasnt crowded, We went to the large Aqua Park, people that booked with holiday reps at our hotel paid more money and went to smaller Cleo Park and had to pay for their own lunch ours was included, Very good company would definately use again. Thank you

We swam with dolphins in Sharm with SharmExcursions and thoroughly enjoyed it. The dolphins were fantastic to swim with and very friendly, Mohamed and the sharmexcursions team were very organised and would definitely recommend.

Wow what a fantastic trip! Done this with my son and we both absolutely loved it! Definitely recommend the trip, and SharmExcursions were fantastic.

Wow, one of the best experiences of my life!!! We initially booked the trip for my daughter who has always wanted to swim with dolphins, but in the end all done it. It certainly lived up to all of our expectations and more, you can really see what clever animals they are, and they are so well trained. Would definitely recomend!

We'd read a lot of reviews about Sharm Excursions and decided to book to go to Cairo (day trip with plane) rather than book through our travel agent. We were told that a member of the Sharm Excursions staff would meet us at our hotel to pick up our trip money, we weren't actually told when they would turn up but they appeared on our second morning which was fine.

We were picked up really early by a mini bus and taken to the airport after picking a few more people up - we were briefly told what to do (this could have been explained a bit better as the guy's English wasn't amazing and we were all left a bit confused for a while! The staff don't come with you on the plane but you're dropped at departures and picked up the other end) Anyway, we all worked it out eventually and boarded a plane to Cairo, arriving around 8am.

We were picked up by a mini bus and joined with another 4 people so there were 6 of us together all day, no problems at all and immediately taken to the Egyptian Museum. We had to wait for a bit as our plane was early and the Museum didn't open for a while. Our guide showed us around the Museum which we were quite greatful for as it's not like a British Museum at all. In fact, part of it looks like it's still a store room and it's quite disorganised. Still, we saw some amazing artifacts and went to the Tutankhamun gold exhibition which was fab. We were left to look round by ourselves for a while but I'm pleased we were shown round for most of it as it was very busy and I don't think we would have bothered to look at some things as we wouldn't have been sure what we were looking at!

After the museum we were taken to the River Nile - if you wanted to take a boat to the next stop you had to pay an additional 100Egyptian pounds which we thought was a bit cheeky but well worth it. We took the boat to a restaurant which was at a 5* hotel. Food was amazing, and much needed by that time!

After lunch, we got back on the mini bus and were taken to a Papyrus museum. It was quite interesting and we all purchased something.
Then....we got our first sight of the Pyramids - we drove up a huge hill to a viewing platform where you look down on them and can take photos. This was probably actually the worst part of the trip. The pyramids themselves were breath-taking, but whilst you're trying to take your photos and enjoy the view you are constantly approached and hassled by the locals trying to sell you things. We'd been worn that it can be quite bad but nothing can prepare you for just how bad it is. I felt quite intimidated, despite being with my boyfriend and the rest of the group and tour guide. They will NOT take no for answer and even try and charge you money for offering to take a photo. Just say NO or if you do buy something or go for a camel ride, AGREE A PRICE FIRST! Our tour guide was very good and helped us as much as he good, at the end of the day the locals are trying to earn a living and probably make a fair bit from tourists.

After the viewing platform, we drove down the hill and walked round the Pyramids - again being hassled by the locals. We went inside one of the smaller ones which had a guy inside who was willing to show us around (after tipping) which was really good. We didn't bother to pay to go inside the Great Pyramid because we were just so hot! We then drove all the way down to the Sphynx and took lots more photos and walked around it. Amazing, and nothing can prepare you for just how fascinating it all is.

After the Pyramids we were taken (all very sleepy by this time) to a perfume & glass maker. (We were a bit disapointed that we didn't go the Cairo Bazaar but to be honest we were all knackered and very hot and weren't really in the mood to go shopping anyway) We were shown how they make ornate perfume bottles from scratch which was amazing and then also given a demonstration on some of the perfumes and scents that they offered. As much as I wanted to, I didn't buy anything because of the weight limits of our baggage going home but it was very tempting!!

We were then driven back to the airport all very weary and hot but having had an amazing experience. Our guide was absolutely fantastic, his English was amazing and he was incredibly knowledgeable.
I can't fault Sharm Excursions at all, they were amazing. Very helpful, friendly and all together provided a fantastic experience which truly rivals those provided by the travel agents. If you're considering doing a trip whilst in Sharm, definitely book with these guys but I would 100% do the plane trip and not the coach journey. We were knackered just after the day trip!

Thank you to Sharm Excursions for providing a trip which I will never ever forget - the Pyamids were just exceptional and I'm so glad that we booked through you.

We are a family of six and last October we decided to book this excursion whilst on holiday in Sharm for the second time. Having read the review, I felt fairly confident.

I have a daughter with a peanut allergy so was quite worried about the food etc. The communications were superb this side and the trip was booked. It was with nervous anticipation that the money was handed over but everyhting went to plan. We were met at our hotel and taken to the airport. Unfortunately our flight was delayed. Once in Cairo we were met by our private guide wand driver who were both courteous and spoke great English. We were given lots of time to explore the museum on our own as well as having the highlights pointed out to us. We paid extra for a samll boat trip which took us to the restaurant. The Pyramids were busy but we had plenty of time to explore. A great day was had by all and great memories were made.

Thank you to Mohammed for an AMAZING trip to Cairo. We had a fantastic time throughout the whole day and could not have asked for a better trip. The journey was long but it was worth every minute! Our tour guide Sherif was brilliant he had a fantastic knowledge of the history and looked after the whole group at all times.

We were originally nervous about the trip as it is so long and because of the recent events in Cairo, but we had no problems at all and all of the people we encountered were friendly and welcoming.

This trip is beyond value for money, I would recommend this experience to anyone. No one should go to Egypt and not see the Pyramids I am still amazed that I have seen them!!

Thank you Mohammed - when we come back to Sharm we plan to book some more trips! :)

We cant thank this company enough for ensuring we had a wonderful and safe trip to Cairo. We arrived back to England March 6th and were worried that our trip to Cairo wouldnt be going ahead due to the problems out there. At first when the problems started our trip was cancelled and we were given a refund, but as soon as things were safe again, they notified us and we re-booked. We were a little worried incase things were still going on in Cairo, but we were assured that all would be ok- and it was! we are so glad that we decided to go ahead with the trip as it really was a once in a life time trip. My Husband, kids and I were absolutely thrilled!!
We also did the quad biking in Sharm, all I can say is... WOW!! so much fun!! its really beautiful in the dessert!!
Thanks a lot Mohammed, Lily and Co. 10/10

We booked 3 excursions ( 1 day Cairo by plane, Sea Trip Tiran, Super Safari) and had one as a free offer. - And everything turned went well. - The guides picked us at the hotel, and were very punctual ( except for the sea trip). and the guides very very good in explaining the things. We had really good guide on all the trips. Abdal Nasser in Cairo, Ramadan on the Super Safari and ?? on the Sea Trip. Mustafa collected us to take us to the airport and to the extra offer which was "1001 night" and met us again in the middle of the night, to take us back to the hotel. - Can recommend "1001 night" as the extra free offer. - To our surprise most of the audience were Egyptians. So, thank you to all the good staff in Sharm Excursions.

We booked The 1 day visit to Cairo with sharm excursions in November and have no complaints what so ever.
we were picked up on time from our hotel and then were taken to the airport where the process was speedy and no delays.
Once we reached Cairo our tour guide Mohammed was wating for us and we were informed of what we would do for the day.
We first visited the Egyptian museam and were talked through the history and were allowed time to look around.
We were very impressed with Mohammed he was very knowledgable and passionate about the history and we learnt so much that day.
After a cruise down the River Nile we went for lunch which was very nice and then moved onto see the pyramids.
We got to the pyramids and were given about 45 mins to look around.
We throughly enjoyed the whole day and this was all down to mohammed.
Have recommended to my friends and will definatly be using you again.

Great tour of Cairo with excellent driver and guide. Nice small group, which made a big difference. Only downside is the airport on the way back but it is the same for all the tour operators. Our holiday rep tried to put us off when we told him we booked with Sharm Excursions. I think he was upset losing commission. Would definitely use this company again.

What an amazing 5 days!!! Booked this trip with SharmExcursions having used them last year for a few small excursions, this time wanted to see some more of Egypt and what a good decision that was.

Saw loads of fantastic sights, and have tonnes of great memories of temples, Valley of the Kings, views from sailing down the Nile and loads more.

Would definitely recommend for those who want to see Egypt.

We booked 4 trips in total with Sharm Excursions and found them to be excellent value. A lot cheaper than the trips the rep tried to sell us at the hotel. Could not fault them on their service and even when there was a hiccup one day (which turned out to be not entirely their fault)they were very aplogetic and had the problem resolved within the hour. The trip to Cairo and the pyramids by coach (15th November), was a long day, but worth the journey and our lady guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. Had a brilliant crowd on our bus which made the day even more enjoyable, so thanks to everyone for that if your reading this - including little Wilfie! Will be recommending Sharm Excursions to anyone I know who visits Sharm and will be in touch ourselves on our next visit.

My friend booked this trip to Cairo on the internet as part of my surprise 50th birthday trip and she had no problems. The reps and transport were where they said they would be at the time stated. The transport was comfortable and clean and we were given cold water bottles when we needed without asking. You can also leave your �stuff � in the car which is yours for the day. We were given plenty of time to explore the museum and pyramids. Our guide for the day was Abdul what a great guy he was. The poor man was not well on the day but despite that he made the day special. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the tour and we learnt so much from him. Thank you Abdul for such a wonderful day. We have already recommended Sharm Excursions to several friends who are likely to visit Egypt in the next year or so. We look forward to coming back and next time we hope to visit Luxor. Thanks Abdul love Sandra & Linda

I booked this trip on the internet an had no problems the reps and transport were where they said they would be at the time stated.The guide whose name nobody could pronounce so he said to call him John, was very good and very knowledgeable about Egyptology.We did the nile boat trip and enjoyed Banana island.The only downside was the restaurant where we had lunch because the food was crap.Also we would have liked to have spent more time at Karnak Temple and less waiting time at the airport for the return journey.

We were treated to this wonderful experience by our children as a gift and what a great gift. we spent 4 hours in the desert we stopped for tea and met some interesting people the views were amazing. i have never been on a quad before but i went on my own and i was fine, really dusty so try and purchase a safari scarf they do provied them at the centre but are quite expensive but you can pick them up most places. will use this company again and recomend.

We would like to thank all at Sharm Excursions for looking after us so well on our two-day excursion. Our first day was Luxor where we met up with John who is a fantastic and enthusiastic guide and teacher, and a thoroughly nice man. He looked after us from the moment we got off the plane to delivering us to the hotel, he also kept us alive by decanting his own water into our bottles during the hottest part of the day. You will definitely need a hat and plenty of water, about double what you think you need. You can always leave your �stock� in the car which is yours for the day. We learned such a lot from John, and he answered any questions we had for him from Egyptian history to how to go about tipping people and dealing with street-traders. The second day was Cairo, a much different style of guide this time, slightly more aloof. Cairo is a very busy city, and you do need a forceful guide to cut through the queues and traffic. We were given plenty of time to explore the museum and pyramids on our own and we do suggest you pay the extra to go inside the Great Pyramid. It is a very small and long passage, but well worth the effort and is adequately lit so you�re never in darkness. Take plenty of money with you on both days because you will be taken to some nice shops where you can find souvenirs and gifts without having to deal with market-sellers. We have already recommended Sharm Excursions to several friends who are likely to visit Egypt in the next year or so. Much better value for money than the UK travel agency trips.

This boat trip was wonderful to see some of the local sea life. The trip lasted around an hour and there was a guide on the boat who was talking about the different things we could see. Unfortunately alot of the people on our trip were italian and so the guide was talking more to them than us. But still an enjoyable trip

we went to cairo on 11th october everything went really well from start to finish.abdul our tour guide was excellent,his knowledge of egyptian history was excellent.we went to the egyptian museum first and abdul took us to see the best things first and then left us to look about for ourselves.we then went to the pyramids,where abdul told us all about there history and took pictures for us as well,we would definately book with sharm excursions again.once again many thanks

We booked a trip with SharmExcursions and had a perfect time. Our guide, Yahia - or John as he liked to be called, was great... a really knowledgeable guy who showed us around at a great pace and was always full of stories. We had a great day and saw the sites of Luxor at a relaxed pace, which was needed as we were in nearly 49 degree heat. We would recommend taking a scarf to cover you neck and head, and it can be unbearable at times. The food for lunch was good, and in a good location. Highlights of the day were the obvious sites of Valley of Kings and the Temple, but Karnak was something special and the stop at Banana Island was amazing. The final part of the day was a tour on horse and cart around the city of Luxor, which is welll worth doing. Originally John said the price for the tour was was 120LE per person, but he managed to drop it down to 100LE per horse and cart. We would thoroughly recommend this, and if you managed to tour with John, you will find a very friendly knowledgeable guide.

I have been to Egypt 3 times and every time I go I book with sharm excursions.I did many trips and I usually have a guide called Ramy that organises everything for me.He is very attentive and kind.Mohamed the owner is very helpfull too, they always available on call at anytime.I would definately recommend booking with them.

Great time again-camel ride,bedoin tea,bread making, dinner was really nice. Watched the show which was very good, and we also managed some stargazing-great night out Thank You
Angela September 2010

The trip to Luor was fantastic! we were a small group of 8 for which I think we made the most of having the guide all to ourselves!!! His name was Zahid and He really knows his stuff and worked really hard even though we visit Luxor during Ramadan.
A big thanks to Mohamed who is very profesional and also agreed to refund us the money we payed to visit Petra as I (Rob) was not felling well for few days before the trip.

We would travel with you again to Luxor!

We went with Sharmexcursions.com to Cairo by bus on the 30th August and it was amazing! We had a fantastic time whilst in Cairo the only downside being the long coach trip there and back. I would reccomend using this company to anyone as we were very well looked after and our tour guide was also brilliant. He was not only knowledgable but also had fun with us and was honest about Cairo itself.
Thankyou guys, you were brilliant!

Hello, having returned from a wonderful trip to Sharm -el Sheik I want to say that the above company have been brilliant. I booked them to transfer us from the airport to the hotel and for 2 excursions and dealt with Mohammed who was very helpful. However when we arrived at the hotel we found that there was no booking for us (but that is another story) but the rep Sadeek and Isan the driver did not abandon us. they stayed with us, drove us around town and took us to another hotel.


Next day when Isan --brilliant driver , we called him Micheal Shaumaker--and Mido collected us for the Bedoiun trip they were on time, very proffessional, friendly, funny, grat company to be with and they went out of their way to make it a great experience for us.


Then we went on the Mount Sinai trip with Mahmoud and his driver and they too were great.


After the bad experience we had at the start of the holiday these guys restored our faith and made our holiday really good.


We would have no hesitation in recommending them and would love to go back to Egypt and would definitely be booking this company again...wouldnt even think of using any other one.

If you read this then thanks again guys and apologies for names being mispelled.

Excellent trip. Well organised with very friendly people,especially our guide Lilly. Not only was her knowledge fantastic but even better as a person. Thank you Lilly so much for getting us through the day. x

We returned from Sharm on 5th August 2010. I booked some excursions prior to depature with this company albeit with some trepidation initially.
I need not have worried. Everything about this company is very professional.We did the day trip to Cairo by plane and had a wonderful and memorable day. Our tour guide was Abdul and he was so knowledgeable about all aspects of ancient Egypt,it was mind blowing. He spoke very good English and his sense of humour came free!
Mohamed organised our booking for us with two Excursions and pick up and drop off at the airport on arrival and departure.Everything went according to plan and was very well organised.
If you are visiting Sharm, I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for all your Excusions. They deserve to succeed in business because they are competitive,very efficient and extremely professional.
Thank you Mohamed and Abdul for a wonderful experience.

I would just like to thank sharmexcursions.com for the best experience with a tour operator I have ever had! The Cairo by bus excursion was mindblowing, I learnt so much whilst on this trip and the guys who looked after us were perfect! We decided to go home with the rest of our group on the first night as we didn't fancy a second night in Cairo as I was feeling ill, our guide offered us a refund which we said we didn't want as we had decided to cancel our second night ourselves, roughly 3 hours on our way back to Sharm our guide came to us on the coach and said he'd organised us a camel ride and bedouin tea with stargazing included instaed of our refund!!! Absolutely first class service from absolute first class people who work for a first class company!!! An excellent day in Cairo made perfect by this company!!! Thanks sharmexcursions.com!!!

Before arriving in Sharm, we had booked the three day private trip to Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor by plane. Mohammed, the tour operator, was fantastic in responding to any questions and requirements we had. Once a small deposit was paid, we were informed that a colleague would meet us at the hotel. The Rep was on time, and explained the program for all days clearly. We were collected from our hotel and driven to the airport. Once arriving in Cairo, we were met by our Tour Guide, Maya. She was again fantastic, very knowledgeable, considerate, friendly. She explained everything clearly, and left us no room to ask her any questions. We visited the Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, Muhammed Ali Mosque, Perfume Shop, A Papyrus Institute and had a lovely ride on a felucca to have lunch. The hotel arranged for us in Cairo was fantastic, with a beautiful view of the pyramid. Our second day was in Alexandria, again with Maya. Here, we visited the Catacombs of Al-Shukafa, Pompey's Pillar and the Library, with lunch, again in a beautiful restaurant towards the Mediterranean Sea. We then flew out to Luxor, and met our Tour Guide, Hamada. Again, the hotel was lovely. Our day in Luxor started with a hot air balloon ride over Westbank, which was marvellous, We visited the Factory of Statute, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, felucca ride for lunch and the Karnak Temple. We had a slight problem with the tour guide's attitude, however, once we called and spoke to Mohammed, he was very considerate and arranged other attractions for us, to try and make our day more enjoyable. He was successful...lol...!!

These three days with sharmexcursions were so fantastic, that once we arrived back in Sharm, we also booked the Crocodile and Snake Show, Glass Boat and Alif Leila Wa Leila (1001 Nights Show), with the Rep being Mahmoud.

Sharmexcursions is a very well organised company. All transfers in vehicles were all fully air-conditioned. Time-keeping was great from their side at all times, and for all excursions, and all the staff we met were brilliant. They were friendly, helpful, and basically treated us like family, all going out of their way for us. If I was to ever visit Egypt again (which is more than likely), I would definitely book our excursions with them, as well as, highly recommend this company to all. I can honestly say, sharmexcursions is the best tour agency in Egypt. Their prices are very reasonable and a lot cheaper than other companies.

A great Thank You to Mohammed, Mahmoud, and Maya for making our trip most memorable and amazing.

Possibly one of the best excursions. Relaxed, atmospheric and definately an experience.
We were taken by camel to the camp where we climbed a small rocky outcrop in the mountains to see the sun set. We then settled in the camp where we were fed lamb (the first time I ate lamb since I was a child and it was great), chicken, flat bread rice and vegetables. We then had some Hibiscus tea which was very good ( I later bought some to bring home).
There was the show, belly dancer, african dancers and another traditional and very colourful dancer. We had a go at the belly dancing and it was all in good humour. Some of the guys had a go at making the bread as well.
We ended the night with a little star gazing with a huge telescope. The guide for this was very knowlegable and pointed out the various significant constalations and showed us the moon, and Saturn through the telescope.
The whole excusion was led by Mahmoud (Moody) who was brilliant. Again, knowlegable and fun. He took the time to ensure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience.
A great excursion for a chilled cultural evening. I would definately recommend this.
All in a

Me and my partner have just returned from our holiday where we done this excursion. What a fantastic day. The bus journey is quite long but we slept for most of it so it wasnt too bad. We were met by our guide Abdo who stayed with us for the day. I cannot praise him enough, he is a very intelligent, passionate man who knows his stuff! He made the trip for us. Thanks alot for a great day!

This trip to Cairo by bus is well worth it even though it�s a long journey.
We booked it from home about 3 weeks before we went, paid a small deposit. Mohamed is very good, returned emails etc very quickly and professionally. When we got to our hotel we met with one of his reps the next morning as arranged and paid the balance.
He explained all about the trip. The trip on the coach is a long journey but time seemed to go quicker than expected also if you can sleep it helps. Cairo was amazing, very busy and an eye opener.
The pyramids were awe inspiring, amazing! We also got to see the Sphinx, museum, papyrus shop, perfume shop and a meal on a boat on the Nile... this trip was worth every penny. The tour guide was very good and knowledgeable. I will be using this company again in the future, excellent.

This trip was great!!! We recomand you our guides Hesham Saqr and Abdo... the BEST!!... Everything was excelent, you have to see what Cairo has to offer you!!

We had a great excursion, we learned and see a lot of things about the history of the places that we had visited, with the help of our guide, HESHAM SAQR, which offered us unforgetabel moments. I advice everyone to make this excursions!!!

I have never booked excursions over the internet before but decided against leaving it until the last minute at the resort � so I did an internet search and came across Sharm Excursions.com. The communications I had by e mail with Mohamed were spot on and we only paid �45 deposit for the 4 excursions the rest in cash when we got there. No problems at all with this � now for each excursion��..

Quad biking � this was well worth the �20 each it cost. We visited a valley which echoed, and had tea in a Bedouin camp. Highly recommended and don�t forget the scarf and sun glasses to cover your head and face.

Cairo by plane � A very long day but well worth the effort. The museum with Tutankhamen�s effects is fantastic and well worth a visit with a very knowledgeable guide � it we had only done this we would still have been happy with our trip. The pyramids were personally a bit of a let down being so close to Cairo and having people climbing all over them and trying to sell you things������� but we have seen them now and that is what we wanted. The only down side (and this is nothing that Sharm Excursions.com can do anything about) is Sharm and Cairo airports � absolutely bedlam � 4 flights leaving from the same gate with an hour of each other - no visual displays or information � and in Cairo a very small waiting area, claustrophobic and a feeling of being herded like sheep. Mohamed arrived at our place of lunch (which was very good), after a trip down the Nile (extra �10 but again well worth it rather than negotiate Cairo traffic) to make sure all was well � I asked if he could get the driver to stop at a pharmacy for some more sun block � this he did and he paid for it � now that�s what I call service. Take plenty of sun cream and water with you � they don�t confiscate it at the airport � you can take it through security and onto the plane unlike here in the UK!!!!!!!!

Bedouin Show and Dinner � Brilliant � personal guide and very smart car to take us the half hour ride � saw the sunset over the mountains - ate very good Bedouin food � drank tea with them � could have smoked a shish pipe if we wanted to and then joined in with the home made dancing and entertainment � all in all an excellent couple of hours. I should also point out that we were due to do this tour on the Friday, but after a phone call personally to Mohamed he changed it to the Saturday for us � great service � thanks Mohamed.
Overall I think we got value for money. If we go back to Sharm El Sheikh we will have no hesitation in booking with Sharm Excursions.com again.

Brilliant day out at a great price !! So good we have booked a holiday for 2011 in Sharm El Sheikh (our 3rd) and will use this company for ALL our needs without question. The Glass Boat was brilliant and the crew were fab. Sharm Excursions are a great company to deal with so PLEASE look them up - I am not getting commission by the way !!!!!! Trust me - unlike Gordon Brown - I am not a one eyed lying Scotsman ( J Carkson Esq.) (Quote) Trust me !!!!!

If you want value for money, then this day trip into the desert gives you just that. You get real exposure to the desert and the opportunity to clamber through the spectacular coloured canyon. Our guide was Hisham who was absolutely superb gven the age range of the party. Lunch was taken in Dahab overlooking the Gulf of Aqabar with the mountains of Saudi Arabia in the distance. a camel ride on the beach and also the opportunity to snorkel at Blue Hole were added bonuses to a trip the highly among the several excursions we booked through Mido at Sharm Excursions.

Accompanied by Hisham & Mido this excursion was a pleasure, although a more comfortable camel would have been a bonus. The Bedouin tea was excellent and the opportunity to make bread the native way a real insight. The trip was topped off with the opportunity to watch the sun set over the mountains, and if you don't dfeel up to climbing Mt Sinai for the sunrise, this is the next best thing.

I booked this excursion purely because it was there to be done and am I glad i did. Physically challenging, but rewarding all the same and the climb to the summit is worth the effort for the sunrise and spectacular views. Our Bedouin guide was excellent, getting us to the summit in good time, and sociable and helpful on the daylight descent to St Catherines. Our guide from Sharm was Hisham, friendly and helpful and able to pitch the tour around the monastery at just the right level for a group on somewhat weary tourists.

The trip to Cairo was really great. We had paid for a group trip, but since we were the only english speaking people for the day, we had the tour guide and driver just for ourselves. The guide, Abdo, was really good. He really knew what he was talking about, and he was also a great guy. We have no negative comments about the driver or the car either. Also the lunch restaurant was nice, it was a ship shaped building in Nile with good food and personnel.

Our second time in Egypt and our first time with Sharm Excursions. What a great company to deal with. We booked the quads and the intro dive from home. Mohamed could not have been more helpful. We exchanged several emails before our trip which was helpful. On arrival we were met next day by the local rep "Mousey" who was fantastic. We booked the glass bottom boat with him and it was as good as the other trips. We will return to Sharm in 2011 and will have no hesitation in contacting Mohamed to book our trips with him, including our airport/hotel transfers. His prices are VERY good and the service we experienced was 100%. Please try them !!!!!!!

This trip was fantastic. Abdo our guide was brilliant and really looked after us. The whole day was great - we saw the museum, a papyrus factory, the pyramids and sphinx and a perfume shop.
It was very exhausting especially for my 3 children who are 9, 7 and 5 years old but well worth it.

I went on this trip on the 1st March 2010. An excellent day with a great guide, Maiya. Everything went according to schedule with a wonderful relaxed day. Well worth the extra cost of the private trip. Thanks for a great day out.

Over Christmas 2009 I visited Sharm El Sheikh in a group and we took a day trip by plane to Cairo to visit the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids at Giza.

We used Sharm Excursions who were excellent, we booked in advance on their website, with only a small deposit necessary. We were met at 0430!, taken to the airport, where we flew to Cairo, visiting the museum and pyramids and also taking in the obligatory trips to a "traditional" papyrus factory and perfume producer - these were informative and enjoyable (as long as its always understood that there should be no pressure to buy - which there wasn't). The pyramids and museum were amazing. I thought we might be rushed round the museum, which would have disappointed me, but were not, and had ample time to see the major exhibits.

I'm not usually a fan of trips, but this one was great value, particularly as getting into the museum is a nightmare (and is not well documented once inside), and there are lots of touts at the pyramids - no problem for us with our guide.

There was one small charge for a boat trip to our restaurant for lunch, which we knew about in advance, so no cost surprises. The lunch did its job, but nothing to write home about!

The organizer in Sharm and the guide in Cairo were absolutely superb: charming, efficient and extremely informative (I suspect the Cairo guide was ridiculously overqualified for his job). We had an absolutely great day, and as I'll be back in Egypt fairly frequently for work, I'll definitely be using this company again. Petra here I come!

We have just come back from Sharm and used Sharm Excursions for airport transfers, quad bike and cario by plane excursions. Everything was arranged with excellent customer service and very good value.

Thank you to Mido for all your help. And to Abdu for making the day in Cairo very enjoyable and interesting.

Would recommend Sharm excursions to everyone and will be using you again the next time we return to Egypt.

Many Thanks

Guide - excellent
Driver - excellent
Man who accompanied us into the airport - also very good. Helped us get Visas. Sorry but I have forgotten his name !

Points to note
- You won't necessarily be on the plane with the same people you are picked up with. Whoever picks you up also appears to be doing pick ups from other companies.
- The plane used I didn't feel completely safe with. It seeemed quite old and the staff not very happy.
- Felt pressured to buy in the perfume shop. The man refused to sell small / half bottles. Got the impression he thought all tourists were rich.
- The papyrus shop - the prices appear to be set but are not. Wish we had been warned.
- We had to leave our bags in the car at some points, and my debit card was stolen at some point during our time in Cairo.
- would have preferred more time at the pyramids, and didn't get to see the Temple next to the Sphinx at all as we ran out of time.

Overall very good. The guide in particular I was very impressed with.

I would like to thank Mido for my wonderful trip to Egypt! Thank you your a star ;) I would definitely book again xx

I have just returned from Egypt � Sharm El Sheikh yesterday. I booked most of my excursions with Sharm Excursions.com and am very impressed with the quality of service received. Mohamed Mahdy provided me and my sisters with a truly remarkable experience through the excursions and through his team of professional and friendly tour guides � Zizo, Abdul, Mohamed Badawy and Mido. Each excursion provided exactly as promised and advertised on the website.

Abdul was our tour guide in Cairo on Saturday 30th Jan 2010, he was really informative and a great photographer. He took wonderful pictures for everyone when we visited the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Oh and a great dancer too. He also has a very good sense of humour and a wicked laugh. I can still hear his laughter in my head.

Mohamed Badawy was our tour guide for the camel ride, Bedouin dinner and star gazing excursion on Friday 29th Jan 2010. He made us feel very welcome and made us laugh though-out this excursion. I asked him many questions which he answered. He made us feel involved in this excursion, especially when cooking the bread.

Mido who was our main tour guide in the past week, was extremely helpful, kind and friendly. He helped us get our visa�s and upon cancellation of the dive, due to weather conditions, he took us to Old Sharm. He has been truly remarkable, providing us with great hospitality through-out the past week - Shukran Mido.

This has been my first holiday and it was perfect. Mohamed Mahdy made sure that everything ran smoothly without problems, from the beginning of each excursion until the very end. In fact, he was in touch with me via email before I had actually booked any excursions and after my booking, dealing with my questions, concerns and queries not only about the excursions, but about Egypt in general in a timely manner. I am really happy that I booked with Sharm Excursions and have absolutely no regrets. Sharm Excursions have satisfied and pleased me with their services. I would highly recommend Sharm Excursions and would definitely book again with them in the future.


A big thank-you to Mohamed Mahdy and his team � Zizo, Abdul, Mohamed Badawy and specially to Mido. It all seems like a magnificent, magical dream. Stay in touch and best wishes.

Just to say a big thank you to Mohammed and his team for helping to make our holiday fantastic. We booked trips to Cairo by plane, personal tour and the Quadbiking Safari.
At all times we felt safe, we hit a few problems when flying in and had severe delays, this was no problem as Mohamed immediately re-organised our trips for us to more suitable days and times.
The trips are very well organised and smooth running, the team at Sharm Excursions are all very confident, knowledgeable, friendly and professional.
The Cairo trip was great and the Quad bikes were fabulous fun, we enjoyed so much, nothing was too much trouble, after the storm and problems flying to Egypt it even felt as though Mohammed had organised the lovely weather for us, lol !
Prices with Sharm Excursions are lower than with Holiday Companies and, from talking to people who had been on trips that way, it felt as though we had had the far better deal and and fabulous experience.
So, once again big thanks to a great team of people, Medo, Maya, Issam, Zizo, Mahmoud, Mohammed who made our stay so enjoyable.
Would not hesitate to recommend you.

Thank you so much Mohammed, Mahmood and Abdul. We had an amazing trip. thanks for all your help and hard work. Highly recommeded. E x

The problem with staying in an all inclusive hotel, is that there is a certain reluctance to leave the bar at the end of the night. We had lost count of the number of vodka shots that had followed cocktails, but we had some vague recollection of going to bed at one in the morning and getting up at four in the morning, to be ready for this trip. So yeah, blurry eyed and totally hanging, we waited for the bus to take us to the airport. The bus was late and we had all the horrible thoughts that we had been tucked up like a pair of very English kippers. fear not, the bus finally picked us up and after a lot of faffing about trying to pick up a couple of Germans, who refused to get out of their pits, we finally made our way to the airport.

An hour later and we are dumped out in Cairo airport. There was a vague instruction to meet our local guide somewhere, but that was lost in translation, or vodka addled ears, and we found that our local guide was nowhere to be seen. Panic set in and the horrible feeling that it had all gone wrong was setting in.

Someone pointed us to the exit and we sort of shuffled along towards what can only be described as Wesley Snipes in Blade. This guy was standing there with a long leather jacket on, designer everything, including the shades.

It was a case of, "Oh my God, are we about to give ourselves up to the Cairo Mafia????"

As it happened, the guy was pure salt of the earth, he warned us of the pitfalls and kept up very safe. He was also very funny and witty.

The Museum was OK, if a little tired.

The Nile boat trip was ace.

The Nile lunch was very good.

The papyrus shop was good.

The pyramids and sphinx were brilliant.

The perfume shop was ok but by then, so totally hanging...

The flight back to Sharm was later than expected, so hanging about for far too long at Cairo airport, which has nothing other than a small cafe.

All-in-all, a good company who had our interests at heart. It would have been so easy to let us find our own way and fall down at the money points, but they kept our money in our pockets for us.

If you want a five star service, use this company :o)

I booked 3 excursions with this company and I can tell you I was not disappointed.This was my first time in Egypt and I was so glad that I used this company. There were 3 adults and 1 child aged 5 on my trip. I was collected from my hotel on time by the lovely Essam from Sharm Excrsions and driven in a lovely car and he offered us refreshments during the car journey. he was very professional as well as helping us enjoy our trips. He took photos for us and nothing was to much bother for him. He was really helpful form start to finish. When we went on the camel ride and had Bedouin tea I was so glad that I did not book my excursions with my holiday company because they were driven there in a big coach and there was a long queue of people waiting for the camel ride. We had a very personal experience and did not have to queue for the ride and in fact we were given our own private ride on the camels just the 4 of us in our group and tea with the local man and they even taught us how to make bread. We had the best day ever. It was also cheaper than my travel company. So thankyou Essam and Sharm Excursions for making our holiday so wonderful we shall see you next year when we come back.

i just returned from sharm and went on 3 excursons, all 3 trips were really good, i would definitely recommend sharmexcursions.com. i will be going back to egypt in 6 months and will be booking trips with them again. we were looked after throughout all excursions and the guides were really nice and helpful

Absolutely fantastic day out!
We were picked up early in the morning (8.30) and taken to the venue. It was a small group so you can be assured that you will be looked after by your tour guide. We had Mahmoud who became more of a friend during our holiday! He was absoluteley FANTASTIC!
Be warned....on the way to the coloured canyon there is a 15min run of bumpy and uneven road which made me feel sick...and i didnt have breakfast...so DONT have a big breakfast...trust me! lol
I didnt take any trainers to sharm with me...so if youre reading this before arrieving in sharm please do pack some trainers...I had to do it in my flips flops and it was hard!
It is quite slippery goin down into the canyon and climbing back up was quite hard also. I was quite lucky to be with my 2 guy friends and Mahmoud also looked after me!
Its a hard walk..so make sure you pack some water and also there are no toilets in the actual canyon so do go before!
There are places where you have to climb down high places so if youre scared of heights...this ones not for you im afraid!
After the canyon you are taken to Dahab, in a small yet very sweet shopping mall. They are very friendly here and dont hard sell...me and my friends got a bargain price for our Kartoosh so i would get it from here! It cost �10 GBP in silver!! And they even explain what each letter in your name mean...I didnt find anywhere else that this!
After shopping you are taken to lunch where you have an option of what to order...again you dont get this option everywhere...
It was a cute restaurant at the seafront...Chips were reaaaallllly nice! You have to pay extra for drinks!
The day came to an end and we all returned to our hotels by 19.30.

We did the evening trip which was fantastic!
It was well supervised and we felt safe all the way.
It was alot of fun but the only thing i will mention is it is VERY dark so if your not comfortable driving in the dark do the day trip!
You get a dvd and a photo at the end at an extra cost but they make for good memories!
A must whe in Sharm!
