Loved it! - I really really enjoyed the tour! My guide Mahmoud was very knowledgeable and friendly and told me lots of interesting things not only about the pyramids and ancient egyptian history, but also about Egypt in general. I was the only person on the tour (I am a young woman) and I felt very safe throughout the whole trip both with the guide and with the driver Mohammed. I booked without the lunch, but we stopped on the way to get incredible tasty falafel for breakfast. Thank you so much for the incredible day!

Great Tour and Great Guide - A half-day tour to the Sakkara and Dashur pyramids, and the archaeological site of Menphis, with a very professional Guide, Amr. Expert and passionate about the history of his country. He explained every single detail and was ready to answer my every question. Yussouf, the driver, is also very good. Recommendation both the Tour and the Guide and Driver.

Great time at Saqqara - A great experience. The guide Sayed Mahmoud was knowledgeable with the information of the sites visited. The car was clean, and the driver drives with care. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting the less popular pyramids and tombs.

Very fun day! - The tour was wonderful, I enjoyed my time with Mahmoud and the driver Waleed was very courteous. The restaurant was very good as well. The only critique I have, is that agenda of the day should be reviewed when the tour starts, to include stops along the way. We made a stop at a carpet making school, and the salesman there was so pushy that he soured part of the day for me. Had I been given the choice, I would have skipped this stop.
