The best tour ever - Our tour was wonderful, we hand an amazing 7 stars driver... Mr Yasser is an expert driver, polite and such a nice person who speaks 4 different languages. I was grateful that he also spoke in Italian since my friend Alex doesn't understand English. His car is a brand new car, clean and scented.
It was the best day in Egypt and thank you with all my heart for this tour Mr Yasser... THE BEST DRIVER EVER ❤️❤️❤️

Perfect day from Dashur to Sakkara - Excellent trip and even better tour guide! Amira led us around the amazing Dashur pyramids, Sakkara pyramids, Memphis, and ended with a delicious meal. She knew SO much about the history of the pyramids and interpreted the hieroglyphics for us. I recommend this trip and our wonderful tour guide Amira 10/10!

Very Cool Experience! - This was a very memorable experience for us and we did this on our last day before our late night flight. Very close to Cairo and Giza. Going inside the bent Pyramid all the way to the chamber was a highlight for my kids! Very tight spaces! So much history in this country. Guide was so sweet! She enjoyed giving the tour and bought us a traditional sugar cane drink on the ride back.

A tour - Our tour started with the guide asking why we booked so early, nothing is open (7am), I assumed if the time is given as an option, it would be open; not so. The tour was very average, not much excitement from the guide, spent time on his phone. Be warned, this company hires freelance guides, so it is the luck of the draw.
The pyramids were neat to go inside, I went in all 3. NOTE: it is a workout on your legs because you are squatting down and climbing. Would not recommend the Bent pyramid for those not fit. You climb all the way down, then go through passages and many steps up then do all again in reverse. It was a lot and hot and many people could not make it. Guide should have explained the depth and what it entails as I was with a 70 year old woman. Luckily, we saw a 50ish man crawling out and she decided to sit out. The other 2 pyramids were not as bad.
