The tour was beautiful. We met these 3 majestic places and it was very well explained by Amira who is super friendly and friendly and sweet. She is very wise on the subject and we recommend her as a guide as well as the excursion. The private transport was impeccable and they are very punctual in pick up and return at the end of the tour. We give them 5 stars very fondly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The tour was really well organised. Basem (not sure I’ve spelled that right) was a knowledgeable young tour guide who we felt very comfortable with. He ensured we saw everything we wanted to see and at a good pace. If you have at least two days in Cairo I would recommend taking this tour to see the beginning of the pyramid building programme. Our driver was careful and we felt comfortable with him driving. We were happy with Basem as our tour guide and asked him to guide us for the rest of our time in Cairo.

Ibrahim is an intelligent and informed guide who wears his knowledge lightly. We learned a lot in a little time without any sense we were filled full with facts. He is excellent company and has our unhesitating recommendation.

Great experience going back to Saqqarah & Memphis after 20 years, so changed and so much better. Kholood was an excellent guide, good English, very knowledgeable and helpful. Mahmood our driver allowed safe passage through the chaos of the Cairo streets.

Fatima and the driver came to me at the hotel on time; they gave me concrete explanations about the places we visited and the whole itinerary planned on the tour was fulfilled, culminating with a buffet meal in a local restaurant.

Fantastic day trip to the pyramids at Saqqara and Dahshur - our informative guide Ibrahim explained all the history and various theories of the building and restoration of the Step, Red and Bent pyramids. We also entered tombs Saqqara along with the Bent pyramid ( not to be attempted if you have back problems lol). After we went to Memphis where we were able to see the restoration work and recovery being carried out there on the site before being taken back to our hotel.
