If you want an egiptologist tour guide, go with them - Mahmoud Badr was extremely knowledgeable on the egyptian history. He took his time explaining the backstory of the site we were going to visit on the drive there. It was as if I was getting a lecture from a professor. He simplified things for us and helped us connect the dots so that we can better understand what we were looking at. I would definitely recommend this tour with him.

Zizou is one of the best tour guides! Don’t hesitate to hire him! - Zizou was an outstanding tour guide for us. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very punctual. There were no negatives at all with him as a tour guide. The best part was the amount of knowledge he shared with us in an entertaining way, which allowed me to retain the knowledge much better. On top of it all he thought us a few translations of hieroglyphs. Overall the best tour guide l've had in Egypt, I highly recommend!!

Highly recommend! - It was a great tour! Zizou was a very knowledgeable guide and took time to explain each site thoroughly. The van was nice and clean with good AC. As a solo traveler, they made it all so simple. It was well worth booking the tour.

Dream Come True - Absolutely fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable guide in Zizou.
His Knowledge of the history of Egyptian rule was so interesting and detailed.
He made the kings of Egypt come to life with his stories and knowledge.
We were able to enter and climb inside two of the pyramids before we ran out of energy and had to regroup for a wonderful Egyptian coffee in Memphis! Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Egypt and especially for first timers or those wanting to learn more about Egyptian history from a well educated guide who is so keen to share it with you and have some laughs along the way!!
Thank you Zizou.

Fabulous tour of these awe inspiring sites. - What a wonderful tour. Pickup at the hotel on time and with a decent air-con tour bus - a must in the 40C heat. Driven my the courteous Mr Sabri.
Our tour guide Mahmoud Badr gave us a brief of the tour schedule and we opted out of a couple of things as we wished to maximise the historical tour, nothing was a problem.
What can we say about Mr Mahmoud ! A total joy to be with and his theatrical explanations were worthy of a Shakespearean stage. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, great company.
We returned to our hotel thoroughly happy and satisfied, seriously can’t recommend Deluxe Travel enough.

Brilliant trip with Mohammed. - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Mohammed was a great guide, very informative and attentive. He even took us to an extra stop to watch carpets being made by hand. Our driver was very friendly and an excellent driver, making us feel very safe on our journey. Best trip we had in Cairo and I would highly recommend spending sometime at Sakkara.
