It is a highly recommended excursion once you are in Cairo Our right guide, perhaps you've lacked a little charisma. Very good transport. Timeliness and good security

Very nice and interesting tour

We chose the option with only the driver and the guide, we bought the tickets at the various sites. The driver was always very kind, he drove well and always slowed down at the bumps to avoid making us stagger too much. In addition, the car door always opened for us. Very good. Our guide spoke good Italian and explained everything well, showed us the various tombs and showed us the area well. Very recommended. We saw: the stepped pyramid, the pyramid of Unas (we also entered it), some tombs of nobles, panoramic views over the whole complex of Saqqara. In Dashur we saw the red pyramid (there is the possibility to enter) and only from a distance the black and bent pyramid. Then we visited Menphis, the alabaster sphinx, the statue of Ramses II and other statues. At the end of the tour we went to lunch even though it was not provided in our package. It was still all good and nice (lunch costs 17€) I highly recommend this trip

You can trust

We hired the option with a driver, just, and he was punctual. He left us at every stop and indicated where the ticket shop was and where he would be waiting when we left. Interacted telling some curiosities. It didn't define how long we could stay in each place nor took us to one of those stores to buy things. I highly recommend the walk.

Dashur, Saqqara, Memphis

Sayed was our guide. He was knowledgeable about the pyramids and temple. He was not an Egyptologist, so if you want one, don't book here. He was quite pushy with writing a review and wanting us to buy from his groups and not the local vendors. He tried to tell us we couldn't buy from them. Other than that, we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend taking a tour. It is very difficult to get out there from Cairo any other way. Islam was our driver. He was excellent. Its not a long drive, but very little out there. Poor cell phone service. Lunch was a buffet. It was fine. Nothing special about it. If I did it again I would just do the driver.

Great tour

Great tour, with very friendly helpful guide and driver. Going to these pryramids is a must. The lunch was also very nice. The main thing I’d prefer to be different is not visit the carpet school.
