GrandÃsima Experiencia! - Agradezco la puntualidad, respeto y amabilidad de Eslam, nuestro conductor designado. Se contactó con anticipación, proporcionó detalles del vehÃculo (para mayor seguridad) y nos deleito con su cultura y conocimiento de Sakkara, Memphis y Dahshur. Fue paciente y flexible en los tiempos establecidos, lo cual hizo que pudiésemos recorrer con tranquilidad.
Cabe destacar que mi lengua natal, es el español, pero entiendo el inglés. Eslam nos impresionó con su fluidez en el idioma (lo cual nos favoreció significativamente). Por lo mismo, siempre es un placer contar con gente que se desenvuelva con los turistas, empatice e intente hacer del paseo, un momento memorable.
Recomendaré este tour y a este conductor, a quienes consideren este viaje en sus próximos planes.
Muchas gracias!!

I appreciate the punctuality, respect and kindness of Eslam, our designated driver. He contacted us in advance, provided vehicle details (for added security) and delighted us with his culture and knowledge of Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur. He was patient and flexible in the established times, which meant that we could travel with peace of mind.
It should be noted that my native language is Spanish, but I understand English. Eslam impressed us with his fluency in the language (which worked in our favor significantly). For this reason, it is always a pleasure to have people who get along with tourists, empathize and try to make the trip a memorable moment.
I will recommend this tour and this driver to those who consider this trip in their next plans.
Thank you so much!!

Informative and fantastic trip! - Seeing pyramids which all predate the Giza Pyramids was an amazing experience, plus going inside a tomb was an unexpected surprise! Our guide Doaa’s enthusiasm was infectious and she clearly loves what she does!
Our driver, Tamer, did a fantastic job, he had eight eyes!!
Would definitely recommend this tour.
