AMAZING!

After an horrible day spent with a guide who didn’t know anything about ancient Egypt we were not expecting a lot from this tour too… WE WERE WRONG! Our guide Sayed Amin is the best guide you can find in Cairo! He’s really prepared and you can really see that he loves his job so much that he makes your day special in every way, from answering every kind of question you might have to stop in the middle of nowhere to bring you sugar cane drinks or to let you visit places no one visits! We left Cairo full of knowledge and with our heart happy! Baker the driver made our trip very comfortable picking us up always on time and with a/c! I strongly recommend.

Horrible

La guía no explicó casi nada, tenía prisa, se quedaba en el coche y nos paraba por si queríamos bajar nosotras, nos pedía dinero extra, terminó el tour 2 horas antes y se paró en su casa y nos dejó con el conductor que no hablaba ni español ni inglés para que él nos dejara en el hotel.

Amazing tour to Sakkara & Memphis & Dahshur

Unfortunately, the trip has not started well due to the poor organization of the operator. They had not given any directions to the driver, even though I had mentioned the exact address in the notes. Something more the guide was English speaking instead of Russian as I had ordered... To our very big and pleasant surprise, all the bad moments ended here. The tour guide was amazing, she was able to tell us a lot of interesting things about the sites we visited, and she was able to take us back thousands of years. She was patient waiting for our questions and the responses she gave us were thorough and comprehensive. She was funny and enjoyable she told fascinating stories, we really didn't want to go back to the hotel. Although we had to climb up and down hundreds of feet in the pyramid in the scorching heat, we would do it again. Thank you so much Entesar, you are great. Also many thanks to the driver, he was very professional.

My go-to Saqqara Guide!

Absolutely amazing trip. Got to see three different pyramids and go inside of two. Amazing tombs and great history from our guide Afifi. The driver always had the car ready to go and very well air conditioned

Un gran tour

Un tour muy completo. Lo hicimos solo en una furgoneta y éramos 3 personas. El conductor genial y el guía sin parar de explicarnos todo. Desde que entramos en el coche hasta el final.

Artifacts were exceptional, tour guide was ok.

The first tomb we visited and the incredible hieroglyphics! The tour took us to incredible historical places, the tour guide was more excited to up sell, offering to take us to a carpet factory etc, rather than take time to educate us.

Excelente

Experiencia muy recomendable. Me gustaria destacar el trabajo de la guia. Muy simpática durante todo el recorrido, evitamos al resto de grupos de turistas y vimos la mayoría de sitios sin gente
