Excellent Experience! Great professionalism! - This was the first of the 2 tours we booked from Egypt Day Tours, during late November. We were picked up from our hotel at 8 in the morning in a (clean and new) private sedan by our driver and Sara, our tour guide.
The tour was excellent. Sara was very polite, friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us the full history of the places we visited, such use, historical details, explanation of the hieroglyphs etc. Also, compliments to the driver, for his calm and safe driving.
The tour started with Sakkara, where you can find some of the best preserved burial sites, continued with Danshour, where you can enter one, or both pyramids and finished at Memphis where you can see the giant statue of Ramses II.
We were treated to a tasty meal at a very nice restaurant (soft drinks were $1 extra) and returned to our hotel during early afternoon. They offered to continue the tour, if we wanted to visit anything else, but we were to tired, as it was our 4th day in Cairo.
All in all, I highly recommend Egypt Day Tours. They were easy to communicate via email, transparent about the itinerary and pricing and they all went above and beyond to help us have a great time.
I rarely see such levels of professionalism and whenever I'll return to Egypt to visit Luxor, I will contact them.

Superb Experience - We were excited to make the tour with a knowledgeable archeologist who showed us a variety of tombs and pyramids and provided a comprehensive lesson on Egypt. He was fabulous!

A well rounded tour - This was an excellent tour. Our guide Sayed Bazuka was very knowledgeable, informative and very attentive to my elderly parents. We were able to explore authentic Egyptian crafts as well during the trip. Well worth it.

Fun and educational! - Sayed was an excellent guide for our trip to Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur! Pickup was on time and everything went extremely smoothly. We also really appreciated the snacks and drinks! And getting to go inside the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid was really amazing! Sayed is a legitimate Egyptologist and shared so much fascinating information we never would have known otherwise. He was also great to just talk to and spend the day with, and took tons of great pictures for us. We definitely recommend this tour and asking for Sayed as your guide!!

Half day tour - Very organised company. We booked on-line and they were always very fast to answer and help us with all our questions.
Our guide was a really nice guy and always helpful and took us in a very well organised one day tour.

Nice tour! - We booked a last minute trip and the travel company had no problem taking our booking. Hosni our guide and driver were on time. Hosni gave us plenty of information about ANCIENT ancient Egyptian history. Information that we didn't hear about in our other tours. They took us to a great outdoor restaurant, the best food we had in Egypt! They met our requests without hesitation. I'd recommend this tour to my friends.

Great Guide (Hosni Z.) & Great Day - The day tour to Sakkra, Memphis, and Dahshur was an excellent way to spend our last full day in Egypt. From accommodating our request for a later pickup time in the morning to stopping to help us buy less common souvenirs on the way back to the hotel in heavy afternoon traffic, all our wishes were happily met. Our driver was excellent and very safe. Our guide, Hosni, was also excellent. He made each site we visited all the more exciting with his knowledge and explanation. We opted for this tour over a day trip to Alexandria and are really happy with our choice!

A Terrific Introduction - We spent the day with Ahmed visiting Saqqara, the Red and Bent Pyramids and Memphis. Ahmed proved to be a thoroughly knowledgable and passionate guide. He was flexible (allowing us to sleep in an extra 30 minutes before starting out!) and pleasant. The information he provided about all of the sites we visited gave us a much clearer understanding of what we saw. As it was the first time we had seen the pyramids in person, we were fortunate to have Ahmed guiding us. Thanks for a great introduction to Egypt, Ahmed.
