The best Cairo Tour - Definitively IT IS A MUST to visit Saqqara, Memphis and the Giza pyramids in Cairo. The experience would not be the same without the best guide Ahmed Salah.

Great Private Tour. Knowledgable and Friendly Guide - My Tour Guide Paula was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and willing to answer all my questions. I would definitely recommend this private tour. I asked my guide to show me where to buy authentic high quality souveniers and was able to plan it into the itinerary. Saqqara was by far my favorite part of the tour. My tour guide talked me through the fascinating history of the place and I actually enjoyed it more than the great pyramids. Saqqara is a magical place. My tour guide arranged for me to go inside the great pyramid and also told me how to avoid scammers and took some pictures for me when I was outside the pyramid. Saqqara was so good I opted to leave Memphis off the itinerary to spend more time in Saqqara. Paula was a fantastic tour guide and I plan on taking this tour again when I come to Egypt. This is my trusted Tour Company for Egypt. I would highly recommend.

Our great experience in Giza, Memphis and Saccara. - We visited Giza to see Pyramids and Sphinx with my wife, and enjoyed Camel rides there. After that, we visited Memphis and Saccara to see step pyramid and museums. During our tour, Ahmed Salah, English speaking guide has supported us through detailed explanation of historical backgrounds with nice English. Furthermore, he picked us up on time at Hotel. We appreciate for his great support and courtesy guide.

Amazing family tour of the pyramids! - Booked the tour through Trip Advisor, which was seamless, communication regarding the logistics was perfect. Our van with driver and lovely tour guide, Lamia, were at our hotel right at the specified time. From the start, Lamia was amazing with a wealth of knowledge about all the sites as well as everyday life and Egyptian culture. We had both young (6 years) and older (12 and 14) kids and she kept them all engaged and happy the entire day. My youngest daughter loved her so much and she was so helpful in keeping track of her in the crowds and when she just needed a short break out of the sun for a few minutes. The tour is the standard three places of Memphis, Saqara and Giza Pyramids but even though I’ve been several times, there is always something new to learn (or remember). Lamia took some amazing photos of us which we will cherish forever. Having a guide made all the difference in having to navigate the crowds and tickets, etc. our driver was excellent and kept us comfortable the entire trip. Highly recommend this tour and will definitely use them again on our next visit! Thank you!!

Highlight of our Trip - This was the most incredible day of our holiday hands down. I have been to Egypt before and so knowing how stressful it can be sometimes for tourists we decided to book a private tour to see the pyramids & sphinx and I’m so happy we did. We were picked up at 8am by our tour guide Amir & driver, and then we headed to see the pyramids, went inside the great pyramid, before moving on to the camel ride at a plateau viewpoint where you could see all of the pyramids, after this we went to see the sphinx, then went to lunch before heading to Saqqara. At every site we went to Amir would take the time to explain all of the history, he was incredibly knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. If you’re really interested in the history like we were, then I would really suggest considering a one on one private tour as it allows you to ask everything and get a really good grasp of what you’re looking at. Going inside the great pyramid was absolutely amazing, it felt like I was inside the Mummy movie. The only thing I would say about this is you definitely need to have water with you as the pyramid is very hot on the inside (we were there in December too when Cairo is quite cool) and you probably need some level of athletic ability as you have to climb at about a 45 degree angle bent over to about just over one metre. One of the best things about this tour is that we didn’t get bothered by anyone at all whilst we were with Amir, and as Amir was able to take photos of us as a couple (they’re incredible photos) we didn’t need to worry about asking anyone else that we didn’t know to take photos. Knowing we didn’t need to constantly avoid people trying to scam us meant that we were able to just enjoy ourselves and where we were. We really couldn’t fault the day we had, it was really incredible and by far the highlight of our trip, thank you Amir!

Amazing day at the great pyramids - We spent an amazing day with ramsside tours first we traveled to the great pyramids, had a fun camel ride, then journeyed onto Cairo, where we had a lunch on the Nile and a traditional felucca boat ride. We also visited a few bazaars. Thanks to our guide Ahmed Salah we had a fun safe adventure

Car could have been better. - The guide was very knowledgeable and kept a perfect pace. The driver was nice and managed to traffic without issue. The only negative was the car was stuffy and hot, limited AC.
