Fantastic day Trip to Step, Bent, Red Pyramids and Memphis

Ibrahim and Motmin were fantastic guides and drivers respectively. We went to Saqqara, Dashur, and Memphis for the day. Ibrahim was very knowledgeable about all the sights and his English was excellent. He recommended visiting the Unas Pryamid in Saqqara which was my favorite site at Saqqara and I would have missed this site if it weren’t for him. I would definitely use them for further trips.

Nice tour we will remember forever

We enjoyed the time with Ibrahim a lot. He explained everything very detailed and waited patiently for us to look at all things. Mohmed our driver was very nice too. He drove very carefully but still fast enough to see everything. With those two we had no problem on getting all the tickets and could visit everything without worrying at all.

Well run and knowledgeable tour

Great tour, Rena was knowledgeable, friendly, and ran the day efficiently. We were driven around in a modern car. I went inside three of the oldest pyramids in an unrushed way, and visited several other sites and also two commercial stores. Nice lunch too. Thanks 🙏
