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.

Time Travel Into Egypts Past - A fantastic day with Mahmoud our excellent guide. This is a must do trip on your visit to Cairo. An opportunity to go inside the pyramids and tombs and immerse yourself in the rich history of this part of Egypt. Our driver was excellent and our guide made the visit very personal providing a depth of knowledge on the history and features we went to see. Mahout found us a very good restaurant for lunch serving beautiful local food. A trip not to be missed.

Memphis Sakkara and Dahshur - A totally wonderful day spent with tour guide Zizou and driver Omar. Zizou was fantastic with his knowledge of Egyptology in explaining the history of Memphis Sakkara and Dahshur that could be totally understood by this layperson. Omar's driving skills could be only described as superb. Highly recommend these gentlemen for future tours. Thank you Zizou and Omar's for a wonderful day.

A travel through time - My parents and I, we spent the day with our tour guide Mahmoud Badr and driver Esaam. We had an excellent day on this tour. Mahmoud has a captivating and expressive way of telling the history of the pyramids. He teleported us back to a time when Pharos ruled and Gods judge how big of a paradise you earned based on how much treasure you brought with you.

Pyramid tour - Hosni was a very knowledgeable tour guide. We visited 3 Pyramids +. We did this a day prior to a group tour of the Great Pyramid and others. I would highly recommend. He gave us a great background on the earlier pyramids and we spent ample time inside as opposed to what felt like a rush on the tour. He also provided a nice historical education as well.
