Excellend tour and the guide - Where shall i start . I booked driver only and got Mr. Amro ( Mo ) as the driver but it turned out to be an amazing guide as well . From the start he made sure he treated me as a guest and not as a tourist . Such an amazing person he explained every aspect and made sure i enjoyed it . Please make sure you ask him as your tour coordinator/ guide . I really enjoyed the tour and the experience which i have never had

Enjoyable experience: Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur - This is a great way to see the highlights of Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur and learn more about the beautiful and complex history of Egypt. Our guide Karim, was enthusiastic and friendly. He provided us with so much detail and context related to the meanings and cultural importance of what we saw, he really made our experience an unforgettable one!
I would be happy to recommend this experience to other travellers to Cairo and Giza.

An experience of a lifetime - Everything was perfect! Hamed, my driver, was on time and picked me up at the right location. He was very kind and helpful throughout the day and speaks good English. I had a great time and managed to visit all the places I wanted to, while taking my time. Saqqara and Dashur are not to be missed, they were the highlights of my trip to Cairo. The tombs of Mereruka and Kagemni have amazing paintings, and it’s possible to go inside the pyramids at Dashur, which was great fun as there were very few people there. I felt it was less touristy than Giza but a lot more interesting. It’s a great trip at a great price and I recommend it to everyone!

Good choice! - The driver arrived right on time.
The driving was very good, well beyond the driving of an average driver in Egypt.
The car was comfortable and in good condition.
The value for money was very good.

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 ❤️❤️❤️

Good trip , tour guild let it down - Was a good trip , interesting to see the other pyramids, and go into the bent shaped one, was quite tight and awkward to climb down and back up because the ceilings were very low, but was a good experience. We felt our tour guild let it down a bit , left us to wonder around the places we stopped so parts we didn’t know what we was looking at, should have walked around with us and explained. Not had a tour guide do this before. The restaurant at the end wasn’t great.

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.

Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. - Cannot give more stars, unfortunately. The company send a guide that was sick ( they said later he had a flu), that almost lost his voice and we could not hear him at all. We informed the tour operator about it and they sent us a different guide, which read 3 sentences about Dahshur from the internet holding his cell in front of us. Then, when we bought a 3 tickets to enter the area ( 200EGP per one ticket he also included 25EPGP for the car ( should be paid by the company and not us). When we asked why? He responded that we should pay for a car too. Since when?
Not informative at all. We are in shock that he is a guide ( is he?). Half of the time we had to communicate with a tour operator in order to fix the situation but in the end it was bad and not professional at all. Next time we will take a driver and do all alone.
