Awful experience

Terrible experience. The “guide” was just offering things I did not want. If I paid you is to guide me where we went, it was obvious how poor his knowledge was. After that, he took to my to an overpriced papiro store, where they didn’t let me buy just a small piece. I already paid for the tour so be prepared and stop trying to sell stuff

Good experience

A tour is worthwhile for the pyramids in Sakkara and Memphis, as it is difficult to get there by public transport. Our driver and guide were very nice and did their best to give us a good day. However, they are definitely not Egyptologists. The information was a bit too "sparse" for that.

Enjoyable Half Day Tour to Squeeze Into Your Schedule

My guide today was Mohamed (aka Rob) and I had a great time! He was on time, gave me some good historical background and was very friendly. He gave me plenty of time and room for me to chill and enjoy each site! This is my third day in Cairo, and I had 3 different guides and I feel Mohamed was the best so far! Not too loud, excessive information, nor too rushed. It was just about right! (at least for my taste) Good itinerary to squeeze in your schedule to explore Saqqqra, the Bent and Red Pyramids, and Memphis!

Desert Power!! With the best guide!

We been super super happy and fulfilled by this tour. Afifi (Habibi) is just the (officially!) best tour guide in Egypt. Not only as a guide but as impeccable guy . Full Egyptian History telling but/and also give us all necessary space and time to feel everything by our own. He chooses an spectacular typical Egyptian restaurant for our lunchtime on our way back hotel. Great hours. Ahh and 'bout Dahshur/Memphis/Saqqara? You just need to go and explore that. Desert Power ...like Arrakis:)

Un esercizio di ermeneutica

I posti visitato sono bellissimi, però mi è capitata una guida che parlava un italiano un un po' approssimativo infarcito di parole spagnole. Nulla da dire sulla sua gentilezza e affabilità, ma si vedeva che non era abituato a fare visite guidate con italiani. Con la stessa agenzia il giorno prima avevamo una guida che parlava un italiano perfetto, quindi evidentemente si tratta di una questione di fortuna

Great Adventure

We had a great day with Salah, our driver, and Rania, our guide. Doshar, Saqqara, and Memphis were so interesting. We loved our adventure inside the Bent Pyramid. Don’t miss going to the oldest pyramids.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Our guide Han? was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Climbing into the pyramids was ‘interesting’ but well worth the effort. We were given the option to stop off for lunch which we did and it was both lovely and sensibly priced. Overall we loved it.

It was difficult to understand the guide. Driver was great.

Sakkara tomb was excellent. Dahshur a long drive but gave good opportunity to see surroundings. The first tomb very closed in but interesting.

Wow. A bucket list dream come true - Sayed made this the best day

I saw the Sakura and Dashur pyramids, along with Memphis, on a half day tour with guide Sayed Mahmoud and driver Ahmed Amer that turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Sayed organized the tour so that I had time alone in one of the Sakura tombs, he bought fresh dates for me to try, spent more time than the tour accommodated, and made this the best day I could have asked for. He even stopped so I could try Egyptian tea well past the end of the tour. Really, this is the kind of tour you always want but seldom get. Ahmed was an expert driver who was courteous and safe every step of the way. Shokran shokran shokran! I have made new friends and couldn’t have been happier with my guide, driver, and tour. Until next time habibi!
