Outstanding historical tour – a must-do in Egypt!
I highly recommend this tour to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Exploring the Step Pyramid, the Bent Pyramid, and the Red Pyramid gave us such a deep understanding of Egypt's history that you simply don't get by only visiting Giza.
The organization was professional, and the pace was perfect. It was wonderful to see these ancient sites without the overwhelming crowds. If you want to see the "real" history of pyramid building with a reliable and knowledgeable team, this is the tour to book. Truly a highlight of our trip!

Adventure out of the city
Wonderful day out of the city. Climbing part of the pyramids, hearing the stories and the history were all very exciting. Basem was a great storyteller and made the journey such an adventure., ending with a nice Egyptian lunch. No more jet lag after that!

Great sites but tour felt rushed.
The tour felt rushed. The guide was pleasant but seemed distracted. She advised against going inside the pyramids. We said we had coped with the Giza pyramids but she said these were narrow and steep. My sister went into one anyway (and would have liked to go in the other, had we not been rushed along) and said it was similar to the Giza ones and not difficult.
The guide was sympathetic when my sister got upset at one point (not about the tour).
The driver was good humoured and helpful.

Nice daytour for friends and couples
We had a nice daytour with guide Ibrahim and the driver Sheko. The guide knew alot about the history and gave us plenty of time to explore the piramides from inside.

Fun time!
Fun time and great way to see other pyramids! I enjoyed learning the history at each stop and each stop was not very crowded. My guide Rana was great at tailoring the information and stops to my interest. Lunch was a buffet and very tasty. I would highly recommend a hat, and closed toe shoes. Water and snacks were included.

The visit was great. Rana did everything to keep us comfortable and with just enough information.
This was great! We saw all we wanted. The tour guide Rana took good care of us. She explained everything well.

Amazing trip
This trip we had a lovely guide. His name was Ibrahim. He was very kind and knows everything about the piramides en history of it, and can tell you about it. You can ask him everything.He speaks very good English. I can recommend you to go inside of the pyramid of Saqqara (onus). You shall see the hieroglyphs, but also everything around was more special and important than Gizeh.

Saqqara pyramids and Memphis tailored to our needs
Had a nice casual tour with our family where we were immediately asked about our interests. We immediately indicated that we came mainly for culture and relaxation and were a bit shop-tired. This was perfectly taken into account. We got extensive explanations about the Saqqara pyramids and Memphis. Also in terms of water and lunch it was neatly put together. During the tour we also checked if everything was satisfactory and if what we wanted to do most. Totally awesome! We can warmly recommend Ibrahim as a guide and for a day tailored to your wishes.

Okay.
I went to my friend. Our guide was Fatima and we liked her explanation, she was very friendly and constantly showed interest in us, she of 10, we loved it, she spoke very good Spanish.
On the tour, we were picked up at 9:00 at the hotel on time, we arrived at saqqara at about 9:45 and the tour itself ended at about 13:15 (with a stop at the carpet school). We didn't get back to the hotel until almost 15:00. What we did not like about the tour was the visit to the shops at the end, where clearly the tour company takes a commission and that time could have been spent to see in more detail the pyramids or memphis. I guess for the price compared to other tours on the site it is better, but if you are not interested in buying carpets, perfumes or papyri please let your guide know to skip the stops. The driver was also very nice, there were potatoes and bottles of water when arriving at the car, as we did not hire food it was a good detail.

Great day!
We had a great day with our guide Ibrahim and our driver Mohammed. Ibrahim told us a lot about ancient Egypt history during the tour. We got to go inside both Dahshur pyramids, which was a great experience. We definitely recommand this tour!
