Fabulous day out to Saqqara. Dahshor and Memphis

Fabulous day out with our excellent Egyptologist, Areeg, and our driver, Khaled. Areeg was very knowledgeable, polite and courteous. My husband was acquainted with the history and asked many questions that Areeg answered for him. Khaled was a very friendly and pleasant young man who drove us around safely and looked after his passengers well. The pair of them made our day out a lovely experience and we felt very comfortable with them. I even liked Khaled’s music.

At least we visited great monuments

The biggest problem was our guide. He had lack in knowledge and in interest . He was reading information from his phone, he didn’t care if we were listening and when we asked questions he couldn’t understand us because his English was not good

Great places, awful guide

The places we visited were very nice and the driver was excellent. It's very worth visiting these places, but the guide didn't do them any justice. He was honestly very bad, providing no information and we just never felt that he was with us.

Alla scoperta dell'antico Egitto con una guida speciale

Thanks to this tour, we had the pleasure of visiting Dashur, Memphis, and Saqqara — all beautiful and fascinating places full of history. Our guide, Sam, was truly exceptional: he spoke Italian very well and was kind and attentive from start to finish. On the way there, he even brought us bottled water and a traditional sweet, knowing that we would have lunch later. To top it all off, Sam took us to a beautiful restaurant where we had an amazing meal. An unforgettable experience, made even more special by Sam's professionalism and thoughtfulness!

Buono

L'unico neo è che avevo chiesti una guida in italiano. La guida era inglese, ma era molto preparata e ci siamo capiti lo stesso

2 hours delay of starting and complete mess of operation

There were 8 of us in the booking, but was picked up by a car without enough seat. One of us had to seat as the 3rd person in the front row nest to the driver without seatbelt. We booked with an English guide, but did not meet her till in the middle of road. We then had to travel to a place waiting for a larger car. The tour started 2 full hours after our confirmed starting time. This caused us to miss our afternoon plan completely. Very bad experience! Will avoid this company for any future tours.
