An excellent experience.

An excellent experience, the guide was super nice and helped us at all times. He followed the itinerary of visiting the pyramids and archaeological sites, without trying to take us to any shop for commission. I recommend them.

Thank you, Sayed!

We’ve booked a tour of 6 Hours Half day to Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur, car & guide only through Viator. I purchased all inclusive tickets for Sakkara. I wanted to enter inside as many tombs. I was looking for a tour who could be flexible for the itinerary. Sayed Mohmoud provided us very nice and flexible service on the day. I could see everything I wanted. We were very happy about the trip. Thank you, Sayed!

Nos tocó un guía que se preocupaba mucho por explicarlo bien. Fue un día increíble. Se llamaba Mahmod. Muy majos tanto él como el conductor.

Omar fue un gran guía con notas históricas precisas sobre el surgimiento de las Pirámides, empezando por la escalonada en Saqqara, siguiendo con la acodada y roja en Danshur que terminaron por lucirse en la de Keops en Guiza. También tuvimos ocasión de degustar el plato típico egipcio, el kushari, hecho a base de lentejas, garbanzos, fideos y salsa de tomate. Linda y recomendable experiencia.

Great tour. Exactly as advertised.

This driver was the best. He turned up at the correct time (despite the nightmare Cairo traffic). He took us exactly where we wanted to go and gave us the tour that we wanted and had paid for. He took really good care of us, from bathroom breaks, offering to take photos, and supplying us with sugar cane drinks. The absolute best thing was that he did not even attempt to take us to any markets/carpet places/shops once we had said we did not want to go. On other tours we found ourselves being shunted there anyway, whether we wanted it or not. He did not pressure us for a tip or a 5-star review. He was the best we experienced in Cairo so of course he got a tip and a 5-star review. We highly recommend him.
