Best tour in Cairo ever!

What a brilliant day. We only had about 12 hours in Cairo as a stopover so wanted to make the most of our time. Ibrahim looked after us so so well. Very knowledgeable with our sights of interest. We were absolutely delighted to be able to go into a pyramid and weren't rushed at all but were given the time we wanted at each spot. I would highly recommend Ibrahim for a tour and if we are back in Cairo we will definitely book up again with him. Our driver Abdullah was also very nice and drove us very safely all day. If you only do one thing in Cairo book with these guys! No wonder Ibrahim is the no 1 tour guide.. It's a very well deserved accolade!

Awesome guide, awesome tour

Ibrahim was the best and Mr Abdullah a great driver. Ibrahim really helped us when we were running late, very kind. The tour was both informative and enthusiastic. We were not rushed at any point and had very good value for money. Lunch was also top quality. The tour of these Pyramids was is highly recommended, they are much quieter than the Giza plateau with a fascinating history

Great tour of Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis with Reem!

Our tour to Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis was great. Our tour guide was Reem, and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. She and the driver picked us up at the hotel on time, and they drove us to the Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis. We booked the option without tickets included, so she help us get them at the ticket counter at each place. She provided information at each stop, she gave us enough time at each place to explore, and she didn’t rush the tour. She also took pictures of us at each place, and she even got some dates and candy for us to try! The car was very comfortable, clean and the A/C was working very well. At the end of the tour, neither she nor the driver asked for a tip. Overall, it was a great experience, and I recommend this tour company and Reem as the tour guide.
