Great day

The pyramids of saqqura were amazing. Our guide, Marwa, was a certified archeologist and egyptologist. She provided extensive insight and a wealth of knowledge. The driver was very kind and courteous.

Top Tour abseits der Touristenmassen von Gizeh

Schöne und ruhige Tour, abseits der riesigen Touristenströme von Gizeh mit dem sehr angenehmen und deutsch sprechenden Mohamed. Nur zu empfehlen.

Disorganized, it could have been much better...

The visit began with our driver arriving more than 30 minutes late, creating a first discomfort. The situation then worsened with the Guide who had not purchased tickets in advance, forcing us to queue at the ticket office for each site visited (Saqqara, Menfi, Dashur), taking advantage of the fact that one of us had a student card. Moreover, the entrance to the stepped pyramid, which had to be included according to the description of the activity (at least from what we understood...), turned out not to be. We tried to contact support via WhatsApp, sending screenshots, and the only Response received was very hasty (I attach screenshot) Due to the initial delay of the driver, we were unable to visit the pyramid of Unas, which closes at 12:00. Although the Guide was aware of the timetable, he did not propose to go there in time. The visit continued with a stop at a bar chosen by the Guide for a coffee, where we paid a 4€ juice — an absurd price by Egyptian standards. Finally, we had to insist on being able to go to Dashur before the site closed, as the Guide seemed uninterested in sticking to the schedule.

Good experience

It was a good choice. The guide-Hosam, was very good at explaining the sites. The personalised trip was cost effective and very well worth it.

Wonderful day in Dahshur, Memphis and Saqqara

I highly recommend this tour! Our guide was very didactic and gave us a lot of helpful and interesting information. We had a great time visiting the pyramids of Dahshur, the city of Memphis and Saqqara. We also stopped to see the handmade cotton carpets (which was incredibly beautiful). Thank you very much Rania, you made our day very pleasant and took a lot of great pictures of us!

Amazing start to our Egyptian Adventure!

This tour was such a good choice for the start of our trip. We decided it would make more sense to start with the oldest pyramid at Saqqara before visiting the Great Pyramid at Giza. Our guide Zeinab was wonderful, she had a lot of knowledge to share and answered any questions we had. Seeing the step pyramid and then the pyramids at Dahshur really helped us to understand the development of the pyramids. We climbed down into one of the Dahshur pyramids which was an experience! We then visited the Collosus of Ramses at Memphis before enjoying a lovely lunch. And not forgetting our fantastic driver Yesir who got us to each site safely. Thank you Zeinab and Yesir for a great day!

Fantastic day with lots of history!

We were picked up from our hotel on time. The whole trip was very pleasant and we received a lot of information and background knowledge through our guide Ahmed. We had plenty of time everywhere to see the artifacts and places for ourselves and were able to delve a little into the past. We can highly recommend the excursion and Ahmed as a German guide!
