Very good private excursion. The Saqqara pyramids are great and there are far fewer people than at the Giza ones. The guide and the driver were excellent.

Great day out with our guide and driver. Farha immediately made us feel welcome in her city and had a thorough knowledge of the sites we visited as well as being happy to talk about Cairo and Egypt. She made the day and I would recommend her and the tour to anyone. She let us choice the pace of our day and made some good recommendations to enhance our day out.

Menna was one of the best tour guides I've ever had, she was very knowledgeable and friendly and made it a day to always remember. The length of the tour was just right, with a nice lunch. I would most definitely recommend this tour with this guide.

I found the tour expensive and mediocre compared to the other tours offered on viator and elsewhere. This tour does not include entry to the pyramids, and I was obligated to pay a random 15 usd driver fee, and tips. As a Canadian solo traveller I paid the following on my cc: $129 to viator and 1st pyramid excursion 6.34, 2nd pyramid excursion 19.75, 3rd pyramid excursion 25.53, +15 usd. I used my cc to pay for the pyramids as I was told that is the only way. All the pyramids charge several x more to foreign tourists vs the locals. The tour was 6 hours long, and the info about the historical sites was not particularly insightful. I did feel safe because I was in a car but it was not super exciting.

We had the absolute pleasure of touring the Pyramids and Sphinx with Yasmeen, and she made the experience truly unforgettable. From the moment we met her, she was bubbly, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. Her knowledge of Egyptian history was exceptional, but what made her stand out was how she brought everything to life with fascinating stories, insights, and genuine passion. Yasmeen has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable and engaged. She was so personable that it honestly felt like we had known her for years rather than just met her that day. She struck the perfect balance between being professional and informative while also being warm, fun, and approachable. If you’re visiting the Pyramids and Sphinx, we couldn’t recommend Yasmeen more highly. She turned what would have been an amazing sightseeing experience into a truly memorable and personal one. Thank you, Yasmeen, for such a fantastic day! ❤️🇪🇬
