Wonderful tour

Ibrahim (guide) and Ahmed (driver) were both amazing. Ahmed kept us safe in the crazy traffic (in a very well appointed and very clean car - thank you Ahmed) and Ibrahim kept us well informed on all the sites we saw. It was not rushed at all. My advice is to keep your guide informed on what you want to do and see more of. Also, we didn’t realise at the beginning of the tour that we could go into all 3 pyramids (at no extra cost) - the Step (which we went into), the Red (also went into) and the Bent (which we chose not to go into). It’s well worth going into all of them if you can (although they were empty and had no hieroglyphics). Also, be prepared to tip the extra guide that takes you into any of the pyramids. We were not aware a bit surprised. Overall a great tour. Bring extra water.

Fantastic tour of the other pyramids

Absolutely amazing! Basem was very knowledgeable about everything pyramids and the history behind the sites we visited. Saqqara was great, at Dashour the bent pyramid was a gym workout but worth the experience, and the information Besam gave us at the Mephis museum was great. Also Besam took some fantastic photos of us in front of different sites. Our driver was great and we appreciated the a/c in the car after the gym workouts going inside the pyramids. Lunch at Valley of the Kings was a great choice too.

Amazing tour with a very knowledgeable guide

Just had an amazing tour with Basem. He is extremely knowledgeable and gave us a good explanation of the pyramids, as well as the history of Egypt. The tour was well run and organised. We were collected from our hotel at the agreed time. It was a great day exploring the pyramids and museum and ended with a great lunch.

Wow!

The tour was very complete yet not too tiring, we really loved it (and so did our 4.5 year old!) Our guide Akram was outstanding, he clearly had a deep knowledge of history and a true passion for Egypt. Super recommended!
