Overdue trip

I had a magnificent time, Rana my guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun. I visited Saqqara, Memphis and Dashur...She had answers to all my questions... Hands down one of the best if not the best guide in the Giza area.

Mesmerizing Experience

This was my first time in Egypt and I have to tell you it was an amazing experience. Rana our tour guide made this experience unforgettable. She was very knowledgeable and you can tell she loves her job. We booked another tour with this company and we made sure she was our guide for it.

Perfect past

Fabulous visit, with the friendly and documented guide, in Spanish, of Amira. The entrance inside the pyramids and the wonderful views.

A most interesting day...

A most interesting day touring the “other” pyramids at Saqqara and Darshur as well as Memphis. Much information was provided and we were able to enter two tombs. A fantastic complement to the Giza pyramids!

Tours are better with a guide!

Thoroughly enjoyed our day and Kholod was excellent with her knowledge and presentation. A lot of time spent in the car but that is to be expected in Cairo. Tour stops were very interesting but make sure you get a definite price of things before you show interest!

Memphis, Saqqara and Dahshur

Had a great day and Donia was an excellent guide. She was really knowledgable about all the sites we visited and I learned a lot. I would highly recommend. The red and bent pyramids were definitely a highlight of the trip so far. The driver was great also and got us there and back safely!
