Great service. They confirmed the tour the day before and arrived promptly. Ibrahim was our tour guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm with almost 40 years of experience made the trip immensely enjoyable and insightful. He clearly enjoys sharing his knowledge of Egyptian history. Shout also to Ali, our wonderful driver. With great weather, it was a perfect day. Highly recommend.

Great experience overall! The tour to Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis was really well organized and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, which made the whole day very enjoyable. Saqqara and Dahshur were definitely the highlights — seeing the Step Pyramid and the Red Pyramid up close was incredible and far less crowded than Giza, which made the experience even better. Memphis was interesting from a historical perspective, especially seeing the statue of Ramses II, but compared to the pyramids it felt a bit less exciting and the visit there was quite quick.

Our tour guide Ahmed was absolutely amazing! On our first day he took us to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur. We were so impressed with his knowledge and the way he brought the history of these incredible places to life. His explanations were engaging, clear, and made the experience truly memorable. Because of how great the first day was, we immediately decided to book him for two more days in Cairo. He was extremely flexible, professional, and made sure we saw some truly amazing places. He also takes fantastic photos, which made the experience even better! If you are visiting Cairo and want a knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated guide, I highly recommend him. It was truly a 5-star experience!

Ibrahim as tour guide and Sam as driver did a great job. I can only recommend these two. Ibrahim is a very nice, extremely knowledgeable guide who has made the trip a mega experience with his knowledge. I can fully recommend this trip. From my point of view, this was more interesting than the pyramids in Giza.

Very easy and relaxed tour with our great guide Mostafa Ortega. Mostafa explained everything to us and recommended pyramids to view inside and those best to view from outside only. Knowledgeable and explained history to us. Highly recommended- thanks.

It was an enjoyable tour. The guide was knowledgeable and nice although she was a little sick. The driver was also really kind and the best driver we had in Egypt. He drives so carefully and safely while everybody else is driving like a maniac. Seeing step pyramid, bent pyramid and red pyramid allow us to appreciate the trial and error process before making the great pyramid. The reason why I only gave four stars was because of the communication. I clarified with the tour company multiple times prior to the tour that we wanted to be dropped off at the airport after the tour (with $30 extra fee), but the driver and guide had no idea about this, so we had to spend significant time and energy to explain all over and clarify with the company again.

Our guide was Ibrahim Allam and our driver was Zakaria. If you are fortunate enough to have Ibrahim as your guide, you will have the most fantastic day full of Ancient Egyptian history and local stories, as well as being in excellent and friendly company. Ibrahim speaks fluent English and has an in-depth knowledge of Dahshur, Memphis and Saqarra areas. We were in a hotel very near to the Giza Pyramids and it took about 40 minutes to get to Dahshur and the Red and Bent Pyramids. Ibrahim took us around a complete circuit of the Bent Pyramid and pointed out Alabaster on the ground and helped pick up some pieces that when held up, the light shines through. He explained how this pyramid was made and whom for and how it compares to the Red Pyramid, even drawing diagrams in the sand and showing photos on his phone. We drove a short way to the Red Pyramid and walked around two sides all while Ibrahim was informing us of it's history. We drove on to Memphis to see the stature of Rameses II and the Sphinx there, again with Ibrahim explaining the history of Memphis and how important it is to Egypt, before driving onto Saqqara and the stepped Pyramid. We then drove back to Giza for an excellent lunch at 139. What made the day memorable was Ibrahim. He makes you feel welcomed and is like a friend you never knew you had. His knowledge and love of his job and life is infectious. We highly recommend this private tour especially with a guide like Ibrahim.
