Los sitios son notables, más aún con un gran egiptólogo como Ahmed!
Nos encantó este tour! Ahmed era un guía magnífico, era como estar en una clase de egiptología con un profesor excelente y apasionado! Él era detallado, preciso y respondió a todas nuestras preguntas. Siempre nos dio tiempo suficiente para disfrutar de las vistas, por lo que nunca nos sentimos apresurados. Los sitios que visitamos (especialmente la pirámide doblada) son realmente notables y atmosféricos, y definitivamente mejor disfrutados con un guía que será capaz de decirle todo sobre por qué fueron construidos y cómo. Ahmed también tenía sus propias teorías (por ahí) sobre la tecnología antigua, pero la mantuvo extremadamente profesional manteniendo su punto de vista separado por las explicaciones "científicas". Además, Ahmed nos ayudó a organizar dos excursiones adicionales en Luxor para los próximos días en el lugar. Finalmente, el almuerzo fue delicioso.

Recomendadisimo en el Cairo
Fue una gran experiencia familiar, todo lo descrito en el tour fue realizado, Hesham es un gran guía, su español es bueno y sus explicaciones están llenas de historia y gran manejo del tema, recomiendo esta actividad para conocer mas de la historia y de la cultura antigua. Es muy buena actividad además Hesham es un gran Fotógrafo

Wonderful couple days with a guide that felt like a friend
I had such a great day in Giza with Ibrahim, I booked him for the next day even though social media tips said to try new guides. He was so great I couldn’t take the chance. I could tell he tailored the tour to my interests which I appreciated. He takes amazing pics too. Just felt like a conversation with a friend all day. Plus he took me to his favorite coffee shop which was cool. Thank you sir, I wish you were in all the other Egyptian towns I’ve been and am going to!

A GEM of a tour!
Brilliant day with GEM exploring the pyramids and Memphis museum. I’d visited the main Giza pyramids previously and was very pleased by how quiet and peaceful this tour was, and loved climbing inside the Painted and North pyramids in particular - although it’s quite tiring and a small space, not for the feint hearted! My guide Ibrahim was very knowledgeable and great fun to be with as a solo traveller, and Ahmed the driver provided countless ice cold waters from his cool box - much appreciated given how hot it was! The Kosahry for lunch was also delicious. Couldn’t recommend this tour more.

Worth visiting and quieter than Giza
The Saqarra and Dahshur sites are well-worth a visit and are much quieter than the Giza pyramids. The location marketed as ‘Memphis’ was, aside from the very impressive statue of Rameses, pretty disappointing - perhaps it’s all relative and just a bit of an anticlimax after seeing the Red and Bent pyramids, but there was no old city and just what looked for all the world like a reclaim yard of random recovered artefacts set in concrete bases. Our guide didn’t seem to be especially knowledgeable, but that may have been due to the language barrier - it wasn’t easy to get an answer to any questions that I had. The restaurant at the end of the tour (rather than 2/3 of the way through, as per the itinerary) was absolutely dreadful. The pyramids and the Rameses statue are great and deserve 5 stars, but the limited tour guide knowledge, mis-represented ‘city’ of Memphis and terrible lunch mean that I couldn’t give this tour any more than a 3-star rating so as to advise others looking to book.

Great tour!!
We had so little time but tour guide Moni R. gave us the best experience, she and the private driver took us all over Cairo and we were able to visit Saqqara, Pyramids of Giza with camel tour, Khan el-Khalili, the two Egyptian Museums and visit some other cultural places, we loved it. They were very kind and helpful.

Disfrutamos mucho...
Disfrutamos mucho de este tour, visitamos Saqqara, Dahshour y Memphis. Tuvimos la oportunidad de entrar en las pirámides, que fue una experiencia increíble. Nuestro guía, Annan era muy amable y conocedor. Ella nos contó todo sobre los lugares que visitamos, así como datos interesantes sobre Egipto. Ella nos llevó a una auténtica barbacoa egipcia en una terraza en la azotea con una vista de las pirámides de Guiza. Viajamos en un coche con aire acondicionado entre las atracciones, y nos proporcionaron regularmente agua helada. Fue un día brillante, y sin duda recomendaría este tour. Gracias Annan por hacer la experiencia tan agradable.

A trip you can’t miss
This trip is not as popular as Giza Pyramids, but you should definitely take it if you want to see more history of pyramids. The trip offered it more than what I expected. Different stories and fantastic views. Much less crowded. For instance I explored the inside of the Bent Pyramid pretty much just myself alone and the experience was amazing when nobody was around. My guide Mina and driver Ahmed (Moza) is such a great team throughout the whole trip. Very punctual on time and very flexible. They offered accommodations for my requests. Mina certainly was one of the best guides among the six tours I had in Egypt. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Explained the history and culture in great details. Shared a lot of interesting stories and experiences. He helped me understand more about the Egyptian culture and history, which makes me want to come back again. Thank you Mina and Ahmed!

Absolutely amazing private tour of the first and the original pyramids site, with many more things to see and places to go
We went on this tour, myself and my husband, with Abraham and a driver. We were not expecting this private tour, we thought it would be a group tour, so this was a total bonus and surprise!
We first went to Dashur, and I went into the red pyramid.
It was about 50 steps up to the entrance, which wasn't too bad (and for me being an older asthmatic lady too😅)
It was a gradual dissent of 140 wooden step bars, where you have to step on the edge of, and go backwards holding on to wooden rails stooping down, it was quite wide enough for two people, quite a bit easier than the great pyramid's descent.
Once at the bottom, there was a wide room with a triangular roof, we were accompanied by a tiny bat or two, (the red pyramid is also called bat pyramid)
There were also more stairs to go up, these were solid wooden ones to see something else, but I didn't go as I was quite happy with what I had seen.
You could even see who had discovered the pyramids, British archaeologists, and the date they had written, which I have photographed.
There were only four other people that went behind me, so hardly anybody at all.
Seeing these sites for me was astounding and awe inspiring!
These pyramids are world heritage site protected and of a major importance in Egypt's history and the first pyramids to be built, even before the great pyramid. We saw the Bent pyramid and the black pyramid as we were passing by in the car
Ibrahim and our driver took us to the town of Memphis, originally called Mem, where we visited a museum that housed a giant statue of Rameses II and many other interesting artifacts, mostly outdoors, including a giant sphinx.
Finally we visited a lovely restaurant where we were served pasta soup with pitta breads and six dips and sauces, chicken breast from a kebab stick, that we had requested, with rice and home made chips and finally a slice of melon, totally delicious 😋
Finally, after our beautiful meal, were driven back to the doorstep of our hotel
Ibrahim was a conscientious, honest, safety driven, informative and all round amazing guide🤩
Our driver got us everywhere safely and in comfort, and was just the best driver we could have asked for!
We asked that the air conditioning be switched on when we were too hot from climbing too much, and also for some water, when we stupidly forgot to bring some. Both guys gladly obliged at all the requests and questions were all answered to more than our satisfaction.
I can highly recommend Ibraham and his company GEM for all your private tours and to be your guide.

Great trip with deep discussion
Amazing trip we had with Ali and Muhammad. Ali has a deep knowledge of history and it is great to have a discussion with him on the topics. I highly recommend it!
