What an amazing day!
We were pick up right on time from the front door of our hotel. Our driver, Mahmoud, did an expert job navigating the streets of Cairo. Our first stop was Saqqara where we had the opportunity to enter the pyramid. It was cool to see the rooms, carvings and construction. Our guide, Entesar Esmail was amazing. She clearly has a passion for Egyptian History and is well informed. She was great about being present and answering questions but she also knew when to give me and my husband space. This is a very difficult balancing act and she managed it expertly. After the Saqqara Monuments we went to a carpet weaving school where we had the opportunity to see how the carpets were made. We ended up purchasing a small rug at a discount but we didn’t feel any pressure to purchase anything. Our next stop was the red pyramid. We walked up the side of the pyramid and my husband descended the 30 meters to the lower chambers inside the pyramid. The space was very warm and cramped so I passed on it. Our final pyramid was Dashur. We could have walked around it but we decided to simply admire it from the one side. After this we went to see the sphinx of Memphis. All the site were outstanded. After that we had a buffet and grilled meat lunch. Beverages are not included but juice and soda was $2. The food was very good. We really enjoyed ourselves and Entesar was a big reason why.
The only con was that our main guide was not allowed to go into the pyramids and you can’t go in without a “park” guide. The park guides were nice enough but they add very little and require a tip. Bring small bills for them.

Good trip, need better tour guide
The trip itself was really good, however paying for a tour guide who was trying his best to read to information from his phone was not what I expected. The driver had better English, was more interested in the trip and was more chatty than the tour guide.

If they can keep your money, they will!!
They're never gonna help you.
We made a reservation and made it wrong. When we tried to modify it, they canceled, and we lost the money.

the top Egypt tour!
Maravilloso ! The guide Azala Alone should be the pharaoh, was very attentive and friendly and showed us Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshour all in one day. Highly recommended! We had a great time and learned everything about Egypt. We were very lucky with her and driver Tamer, they were both a 10!

The pyramids
In Pharaoh's lands under the golden sun,
We live a beautiful and dream trip.
From stone and mystery, to heaven elevated,
We saw three jewels, majestic and sacred.
The Step Pyramid, ancient pride,
told us about an unparalleled time.
La Roja, in the glowing desert,
rose serene, firm and powerful.
And the Leaning, singularly shaped,
made us in his story deeply think.
Every block, a whisper from yesterday,
every shadow, a secret to know.
In Memphis, the ancient capital,
The colossus greeted us with an immortal gesture.
Vestiges of glory, of an endless kingdom,
among palm trees, stones and garden.
Thanks to Baher, steady in his walk,
for driving us endlessly.
And to Ahmed, with a clear voice in Spanish,
who wove the stories under the sun.
It was a full day of sun and knowing,
a gift from the Nile at sunset.
I keep the journey in the soul and skin,
like a verse carved from faithful papyrus.

Great experience!
So is a very good guide. She is very knowledgeable and can provide you with a lot of interesting information about ancient Egypt and little fun facts too! Her English is perfect and she definitely seems to enjoy what she is doing. We booked a private tour and our driver and her were very punctual, waiting for us outside our appartment building at the specific time. I would highly recommend this experience. The Sakkara and Dahshur pyramids are definitely worth visiting and very impressive to see (especially the step pyramid)! Overall, the tour was exactly what we had booked online and there was absolutely no pressure to visit different places or shops to buy anything. We would definitely go on more tours with this company!

Great Info
Our guide was an hour late, then he tried to tell us he was giving us things for free to make up for his lateness-I knew he was not offering us anything extra. He was very knowledgeable and likable
