Everything was perfect from A to Z, the driver was very good, on time, and very kind. In short, I recommend this company. The guide Reem was very friendly. The ancient Egyptian sites were extraordinary.

Great tour to pyramids in a much less crowded area than Giza as well as an outdoor museum.

We enjoyed seeing the pyramids at Saqqara and Dashur. It was much less crowded than Giza. We climbed 65 metres down into one of the pyramids and went to an outdoor museum. It was a hot day but our guide Ahmed provided water and gave fascinating insights into everything we saw.

Great tour, very informative!

I had such a good experience today! Ibrahim was a fantastic guide- he reached out early on WhatsApp the day before the tour and arrived well prepared (and early) the day of. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the pyramids and shared a lots of interesting stories. The bent pyramid is very worthwhile, by the way! Lunch at the end was great, and the driver taking us around was also very proficient. I highly recommend!

Excellent Tour Guide for Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahour

Guide was prompt and on time. He was accommodating with our group and knowledgeable about the subject matter. Even went so far to give an explanation on the chronology of early pyramid building in the sand! Would recommend booking.
