Very good tour

Nagyon kedves idegenvezetőnk volt, Rahma, sokat magyarázott a látnivalókhoz. Minden kérésünket teljesített. A legjobb élmény a Tört falu piramis megmászása volt. Köszönjük!

The visit in the pyramid was great

This was a fantastic trip. The guide gave a lot of correct information about the different pyramids and made the visit very pleasant. The water bottle and biscuit were unfortunately missing.

A must to do in Egypt!

It was such a good experience. It felt really VIP. We had a good car. Visiting Dahshur was one of my favorite places in Egypt, and totally unexpected!!! Our guide, Amira, was so knowledgeable. Not only about Egyptian history but in other facts and in navigating through the places. Last but not least, the lunch was phenomenal. My one and only barbecue in Egypt was totally amazing.

Wonderful and easy day in Saqqara and Dahshur

It’s been a wonderful tour as far as I’m concerned. My guide, Kholod, has been friendly and thorough in introduction. She also answered lots of my questions. Although less recommendations on shopping would be preferred, this whole tour has been quite satisfactory and up to my standards.

Excellent tour of Saqqara, Dahsur, and Memphis!

Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed this tour! The kids loved it even more than the Giza pyramids. Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and made sure every detail was taken care of. He even stopped at a little shop to buy our kids snacks because he knew that lunch would be later in the afternoon and the kids would need food before then. The highlight of the day was getting to go inside 4 different pyramids!!! Very neat experience, highly recommend both this particular tour and our guide, Ahmed!
