Great tour, made better by a brilliant team
Can't say enough good things about our tour today with guide Andrew and driver Akhmed! They were on time, so friendly and communicated so well with us. We got loads of information at each site, all of our questions were answered and we never once felt rushed. We had a brilliant day with them and the sites were absolutely fascinating, highly recommend!

Check the tickets online in advance
In general was okish but I will give you 2 starts because the following reasons
1. I purchased the option Driver+Guide+ Entrances. Guide at some point of the tour started to mention the best pyramid I could get into but, it wasn’t included in the tour and it was an extra ticket. He charged me extra E£ 850 for the ticket (which I insisted to buy but he said he needed to buy it with his card because he was so nice that will get me a special price) The true is that the pyramid is included in the general entrace….. It is annoying to be taken as an idiot.
2. The english of the guide was some times not clear and when I asked something, his answer was “ I told you already” which probably he thought he did. I don’t expect people speak perfect english everywhere I go but, I am paying a fair amount of money to get an english speaker guide.
Note: Tickets can be purchase online.

Excellent tour with a kind and wonderful driver
I would say this tour was the most pleasant one we had in Cairo. Our driver 'Said' or 'Syed' was a sweet man and he was waiting for us at our hotel reception exactly on time.
His driving was calm and cool and we never had such a peaceful ride when we were in Cairo.
Also he is very knowledgeable and experienced and told us many things about the places we visited. He gave us detailed history and explained many things to us. He was very informative and helpful.
He even helped us buy some local things and very very sweet, kind and professional.
We really loved our tour with Mr. Syed and we would love to recommend him to everyone.

A brilliant tour.
An excellent trip. The driver was the safest we have been with in Egypt. Our guide (Tober) was excellent with a tremendous knowledge of the sites that we visited. He allowed us the flexibility to visit areas of particular interest to us, and was able to answer our questions regarding particular details. The meal at the end of the trip was far better than we had anticipated. The whole day was great value for money compared with other companies and I would strongly recommend this tour group.

Fascinating tour
Very enjoyable tour - fascinating sites. Relaxed and less crowded than Giza. The Sakkara and Darshur pyramids have a wonderful atmosphere. Great experience.

Excellent trip, really worthwhile
The guide was excellent and most comprehensive, however when you book make sure you ask for a car with seatbelts. The first driver that arrived didn’t have them for the back seat and we had wait for another car

It's a half day trip, but it's fun enough. I was assigned a good driver.
Important pre-tour contacts were answered. The driver was very nice. Arrived before the meeting time. The order of the tours is up to you, and simple explanations of the places are given along the way. Flexible and very satisfying. Although it depends on the driver, it is highly recommended as long as you can speak English. It is better to bring snacks and water with you. The entrance fee for foreigners in Egypt has increased dramatically, so it is good for your mental health to check in advance.

Great for exploring more of Egyptian history.
Saqqara was a wonderful place to explore. The museum of Imhotep was fabulous. We skipped the Memphis part of the tour to spend more time there.
An added bonus was the absence of tourists in comparison to Giza.
Our driver Abdullah was excellent, happy to let us change the itinerary to suit our interests. He even bought us lunch before he dropped us back at our hotel.

Standard tour
Pleasant tour but was advertised as being much longer than it actually was. Granted, might have been due to skipping the usual shopping spots but I thought lunch would be provided or included since I didn’t see it as an option, when it said lunch was optional. The guide was pleasant, took good photos, and up on her history and the driver was competent
