An Amazing Day! - Such an amazing tour! We were lucky to have Mona as our tour guide as all three sites were rich with historical value that she explained expertly to us. She was great at keeping us engaged and interested throughout, while never rushing us when we wanted to explore the area or take pictures. She always made sure that we were having fun and were comfortable during the trip. I would definitely recommend for families or anyone that wants a great and flexible tour.

Saqqara pyramids tour - Wael was my tour guide for this solo trip. We started at Saqqara pyramids which was a huge complex. Then went to Dashur to go inside of one of the pyramids. Lastly we went to Memphis. All was very informative and I learned a lot of new things about Egyptian history and hieroglyphics. Lunch and water was also provided and they were very accommodating with no pressure to buy anything extra. I recommend doing this tour to see some pyramids outside of giza and learn more about the history!

Great trip to Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur - Excellent tour - pick up was from hotel at the agreed time and Wael took me to all the sites, taking time to explain the history and details and also giving me plenty of time to explore at my own pace. He is extremely knowledge and happy to share all his insights. Car and transport was comfortable and lunch was enjoyable. I highly recommend.

Excellent explanation in ancient history of Egypt - Ali is a very knowledgeable guide describing the history of the sites in full. When explaining the ancient history and development, Ali also expressed his personal view with the foundation of his belief and knowledge. It was such a lovely tour with him being our guide. We will miss his enthusiasm in Egyptian history and his passion in the religion. Mohammed is a superb driver in busy Cairo with lots of traffic. Thanks both for this tour.

Interesting pyramids older than Giza with friendly and knowledgeable guide - We really enjoyed the flexibility of a private tour. We went inside one pyramid (with very low ceilings) and marveled at the ancient paintings/hieroglyphics on the walls and ceilings. We had a great guide who you could tell really enjoyed his job. We had an included lunch which was absolutely delicious local foods. I highly recommend this tour!

5 stars for tour, 6 stars for tour guide! - Ali was amazing! He told us a lot of history and answered all of our questions. He gave us time to explore, didn’t rush us, stayed in communication, was respectful, and even found my phone In the sand after I dropped it. We took a couple of private tours before this one with Ali, and it was, by far, the best one we had and all because of him.

Pyramid adventure - We had a wonderful day with our guide Sahar and driver Osama. Sahar did us right, giving us pertinent tips to make the day to Sakkara more enjoyable. At the Red Pyramid she told us to walk backwards on the decent inside the pyramid and this was so helpful as it was easy on the thigh muscles. Great history and knowledge on her part filled in all the information gaps. Thanks Sahar for a great experience!!
