Loved loved loved the tour - We had the most amazing time with our guide. She showed us everything wanted to see. But most of all our driver was extra special. We had had him on 3 tours where we joked & had so much fun. Highly recommend

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

Great time at the pyramids - This tour was fantastic. It was great to see the pyramids up close and the Memphis museum was great. You MUST request Dina as your guide. She was great, very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions I might have.

Amazing experience! - Oh, I have to give a 5-star rating because I really enjoyed the Mario Guide tour. It was such a great experience! Our guide, Mario, was incredibly patient. He taught me about the history of Egypt, and when I didn't understand, he explained it again. That was so important to me because my English isn't very good. Plus, he was really friendly. I highly recommend taking a tour with him and never going without a guide. Oh, and I ran out of money, but he even loaned me some to pay for my souvenirs.

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
