Amazing Saqqara

We had a great visit to Saqqara with Ibrahim. I told him we wanted the history of the sites and he didn’t disappoint. The timings were a bit different than expected because we didn’t need two hours at either Dahshur or Mit-Rahina, so I wish we had spent more time at the amazing complex of Saqqara.

Very complete one-day experience in the oldest pyramids in Egypt

Very complete and pleasant excursion to the three sites, visiting several pyramids and touring the sites, all with the explanations of Rana, who accompanied us all day. Entering the pyramids of Dahsur (which is included) is demanding but worthwhile.

Best guided tour

I had an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Akram, and the driver (I didn’t catch his name, but I will always remember his incredible skill in navigating Egyptian traffic) were outstanding. Akram turned history into a story that was easy to follow and understand, well-structured, and rich in details you don’t find everywhere. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and truly hope we will return and enjoy more experiences with them in the future!

Great day!

Rana was really knowledgeable and kind! We had a lovely day with her and the driver! She allowed us to take our time and explore at our own pace. They even offered us lunch which was very generous. She gave recommendations of local Egyptian food to try and other places to visit. Would definitely recommend her!

Great family trip with super guides

Our guide and driver, Ibrahim and Mahmoud were super! Very smooth pickup and communication to find each other at the hotel and they both were very engaging and helpful throughout. The trip itself was amazing, we are glad we took this first before the Great Pyramids. We learnt a lot about history, seen all the famous places and got an in-depth experience of the first pyramids ever built. The private tour is ideal for a family, no need to worry about queues, tickets all included and you can choose your own pace completely. Would definitely take again
