The evolution of early pyramids - Private car to Dahshur first, then worked back to Cairo through Memphis, and Saqqara. Bent Pyramid, Red Pyramid, Mastaba, tombs of Unas and Titi.

Great trip with car and driver only - Maharan was a great driver. He arrived on time and spoke good English. The car was clean with working seatbelts! He drove us to Dahshur first as it is furthest away, although he would have changed the order had we wanted. We went to Memphis next, allowing us to spend most time in Sakkara. We bought entry to stepped pyramid and also to Mereruka's tomb, which was fantastic with wall paintings, much more interesting than stepped pyramid. Mereruka's tomb is a short drive from the stepped pyramid. When we got there many people were turned away as they hadn't bought tickets. Maharan stopped on the way back and bought us some dates and oranges to try. He was a really great driver! I had considered booking a trip with a guide, but we really didn't need one.

Great experience with guide Ahmed Nour-el-din - Pictures do not do justice to this tour. Ask for/Request Ahmed Nour-El-Din as your guide. He was amazing, went the extra mile every step of the way, and made it a pleasurable, and knowledgeable experience. It helped that he had a background in Egyptian history and archeology, and was able to show and describe some of the obscure and tucked away hieroglyphics on statues and monuments. Came to the hotel early, took his time, and good care of us in the extreme heat; and we were able to see all the sites un-rushed. We should have contracted with Emo and Ahmed for the other stops on our trip to Egypt.

Tailor made for your enjoyment - Amazing tour! Picked up right on time from my hotel. The guide and driver were so very friendly. They went above and beyond to make my first time in Egypt so memorable. From taking amazing photos to showing me local spots that weren’t crowded but had a ton of history. I’d recommend them to anyone wanting a tailored experience in Cairo!

Excellent Tour to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur - I had a great time on this tour! My guide, Noha Nabil, was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and adjusted the itinerary based on my interests. The tour operates exactly as described online, from the hotel pickup to the sightseeing. Dahshur, Saqqara and Memphis add a lot to get a more complete picture of ancient Egypt. Thank you again Noha!

We booked a driver for... - We booked a driver for the trip, started at 11am and ended at around 5pm. Viator is very professional in helping us even though we booked it just a night before the trip. The driver was kind and helpful although he is not English literate, we communicated using Google Translate. Yet, the problem came as we can't discuss much with him due to language barrier, we hope that he could bring us somewhere to grab our lunch in between the trip but end up he brought us to a very expensive buffet (costing EGP450 per pax) at the end of the trip at about 4pm and the food was not very well rated. Can't blame the driver much as he may need to earn his commission and we did not able to communicate well. Besides that, all went well and we did enjoyed the visit to Saqqara, Dahshiour and Memphis. Worth places to visit.

English-speaking tour (with limited English ability) - We booked an English speaking guide but ended up with someone who can’t really communicate effectively in English. Her attitude was ok. We just struggled in understanding her. Probably the worst English-speaking guide out of the 8 tours that we took in Egypt.
