Well done! - Great tour with Samir and his driver. Samir contacted me the day before via WhatsApp to confirm the pick up time and location. I didn't want a long tour so I asked them to be back in town at about 1 pm, so you could plan something else in the afternoon/evening. Anyway they can stay with you for longer and Samir can give you all the info you want.

Excellent, insightful day trip. - Had a wonderful time on this day trip. Alber, my guide, was very knowledgeable of all the sites - I learnt a lot from him today! Alber and the driver were very helpful and patient, I really felt the tour was going at my pace and there was no sense of rush. Highly recommend this tour company, they have inspired me to return to Egypt in the future and I will most certainly be using them again 🤩

Really great tour - We had a really great experience with our tour guide Mahmoud. He explained everything really well and in detail and made sure that we understood everything. He is a really nice and comfortable person to be around and we felt safe during the whole trip.

Do not miss if you have 5 hours spare in Cairo. - We booked this through Emo tours and had Hazem allocated as our guide. He was on time and amazing from the get go. We headed out to Dashur where the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid were both constructed by King Sneferu. The Red Pyramid is the third largest in Egypt (behind two of the Giza Pyramids). The ticket includes entry into the pyramids and you can reach the king's chamber. Following this we went to Memphis and the outdoor museum where the colossus Ramesses III resides. A must see. Last stop is Saqqara and the step pyramid plus tomb of King Teti's vizier with the most amazing hieroglyphs and artwork depicting everyday Egyptian life in a complete and coloured snapshot from 2330 years BCE. Between the Dashur necropolis and Saqqara, and I cannot recommend this as an absolute must see whilst in Egypt enough.

Easy way to see the less known (and less crowded) but nonetheless as interesting as Giza's pyramids - It was a great tour. Paula our guide gave us valuable pieces of information to make our experience better and to understand all the background behind the construction of the unique and oldest Sakkara and Dahchour pyramids and necropolis complex. I recommend !

Fantastic company you can use anywhere in Egypt - We have used Ramasside multiple times now for Sakkara/Memphis/Dashur, as well as Alexandria and Luxor. They have consistently provided modern cars and top notch guides. Our most recent tour of Sakkara with guide Mena was especially insightful. We appreciate that they have vetted guides and drivers throughout the country for knowledge and professionalism, and although they charge a slightly premium price, it's worth it for the quality and logistical simplicity. They are always early and get us back when we want.

Must to see - The tour was great, we found the the tour guide very friendly ! However it's sad that Saqqarah pyramids close at 12 am, which imply that we could not see pyramids texts.. We took many photos !

Highly recommended tour and best guide ever! - Mr. Ahmed Salah is the best tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and speaks perfect English. The trip was very well planned and we felt very comfortable throughout. We don’t use tours very much but we are glad we did as we learnt so much from him and asked him many questions not just about Egyptian history but also for tips since we were not travelling as part of a tour group. Very glad to have made a new friend in Egypt. Ahmed the driver was great as well and very thoughtful. All in all, highly recommended!
