Tour Saqqara, Memphis, Giza Pyramids and Sphinx - Our guide Karim was very approachable and friendly. He spoke Spanish which made understanding the history of the monuments much easier. The driver picked us up at the hotel at the right time to start the tour. Pleasant trip and experience. Plenty of knowledge of the history of the region. At the end we finished with a typical Egyptian lunch. I strongly advise. Liliana

An unforgettable day at the pyramids - We had a marvelous day at the Giza Necropolis, Saqqara, and Memphis with our tour guide Mimo and driver Ahmed. The communication was very smooth throughout the whole experience. We felt like being in the company of friends, we were treated respectfully, and the whole experience was professionally organized. Mimo's explanations were very detailed, very accurate, and interesting. We asked him various questions and his answers were very thorough. He takes awesome pictures too! We loved the chicken shawarma we had for lunch! We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to everyone!

Very good tour - Our tour on the 1st of January 2024 to the pyramids of Giza, to Memphis, and to Saqqara was generally good. Our guide, named Sameh, was in our opinion competent. Our driver, named Hagazy, was carefully in the traffic. We were picked up on time at our hotel. We felt well in the tour. We booked an "all included tour", but unfortunately, we had to pay 900 EGP each person additionally for the ticket to enter inside the Cheops-Pyramid. It would be better to mention about this extra cost in the tour description.
Many thanks to Sameh and Hagazy.
