Highly recommend Alsayed

Said Alsayed was an incredible driver. Very kind, professional and most importantly, informative. One of the highlights for our trip is just how helpful he was.

Karim...

Karim An exceptional guide: attentive, participatory and very involved in your work. He cares about every detail and also has an incredible talent for photography. Makes the experience fun and memorable. No doubt, more than a guide, he becomes a friend.

This is an excellent tour...

This is an excellent tour to see other pyramids besides the Giza pyramids. Guide was excellent and well informed. Her sense of humor added to the experience.

Excursion very...

Very interesting excursion with Sara, who was very pleasant, as well as the driver Mohammed. I highly recommend! Thank you both!

Disappointing, unqualified driving

I had booked this tour with high expectations, but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. The guide proved poorly prepared: superficial explanations, little fluid Italian and no real introduction to the places visited. Also, we got the impression that he wanted to take us to places related to his personal acquaintances, rather than focusing on the experience of the group. There was also a lot of hurry, even when we wanted to stop a few more minutes to take pictures. Overall I am not satisfied and would not choose it again. Better to organize yourself.

Very cool

A very nice tour, definitely worth it. You will see the first pyramids and in Memphis a beautiful open-air museum of Ramses. The complex of the step pyramid of Djoser is also very beautiful to see. And in addition, had the greatest fun with the guide, Moneka, and driver Zizo, with the best Egyptian hits in the car.

The red and Bent pyramids...

The red and Bent pyramids were fine and are well worth visiting if you haven’t seen them before. Be mindful that if you enter a Pyramid, there are lots of steps down a gang plank (approx 140), it is very warm inside and some may find it claustrophobic. Memphis is ok. Similar to Rome on a much smaller scale. I felt that our young guide needed more experience in guiding. He was polite and occasionally informative, however he forgot to give us entry tickets to the pyramids and he never consulted us about toilet breaks or refreshments. Also, The Tour operator did not contact us or confirm pick up details whilst we were in Cairo. I mention this because all the other tour operators we used did. They were very informative and confirmed everything to us the day before our trips. We were not sure if our guide or transportation would actually arrive at the allotted time given to us weeks prior to arriving in Egypt). Overall, this trip is worthwhile if you have not been before, but once was enough for us.

have booked visit...

have booked tour car+guide+entries+VIP lunch our "guide" was very timely and friendly, speaking a little English but was more driver than guide; we visited the monuments with him certainly but reading our own guide. In fact, we could have chosen the basic package with driver car. It would have cost us less and would have come back the same. Lunch was nice

Highlight of our trip!

This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We felt very relaxed with our guide (Islam/Tigo) and he shared lots of interesting information whilst still giving us space to experience everything for ourselves. We enjoyed every moment and would recommend it wholeheartedly. Visiting Sakkara and Dahshur gave us an opportunity to experience pyramids in a more natural site with less tourists and the detail in the tombs was spectacular! Thank you so much for making it such a memorable day.

Great experience, yes...

Fantastic experience, you visit sites a little less crowded than for example the pyramids of Giza, and you can therefore enjoy more the beauty of the places visited. We were accompanied by Momo, very nice and helpful, answered all our questions making us better know the culture and traditions of the Egyptian people. The driver was also very good and kind in bringing a forgotten vest in the car after the tour ended. Lunch in the restaurant where they took us (pyramids view) was great and buffet style.
