Amazing day! - We had a great day with our guide Mario and driver Paul! Both of them are very professional. It was eye opening to see the 10 meter Ramesses statue!

Pyramids of Egypt - Isaac Nabeh - I would highly recommend visiting Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur to complete the Pyramids experience. We did Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel Ride, Sakkara, Dahshur and Memphis in a day from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with enough space for photography, lunch and fun time. If you are considering going inside pyramids, please plan accordingly and give 60-90 minutes extra. Inside of pyramids did not appeal to us and we skipped it after 5 mins of going inside one of the pyramids. Mario Nagy was our guide and he was just amazing!

One of the nicest guides in egypt - We had a lot of fun with the tour guide, he delivered a very informative tour of sakara, mephis and dahshur. The driver and him made a good team and everything went well. The punctuality was top, the wealth of information top and the fun factor too. Always happy to go back with these two. Best regards from Germany

Off the beaten path - Not too many visits these sites, I recommend because these are different than overhyped Giza. Memphis is a small but interesting site full of artifacts.

Nice tour but the “lunch” broke the spirit - We booked a tour with car, driver, guide but no lunch. At 13:00 we finished the tour and were thinking about going back to hotel for lunch but the guide insist on making us visit a perfume shop. We then had to go to lunch with him and he brought us to a tourist trap restaurant (The valley of the King). Usually we eat for 150 egp/person but at that restaurant we ended up at 600 egp/person. And the perfume shop was totally uninteresting. I recommend people to stop the tour at the end of the visit of the pyramids
