Maybe a bit expensive, but wellworthy the choice
Our guide (Rani), extremely nice. Also the driver very kind and professional. Impossible to think about visiting Saqqara site without a driver allowed to enter the site by car. Maybe a bit expensive, but wellworthy the choice.

Enjoyed the tour except for the jewellery/souvenir shop. Really despised going there.
When our guide, Reem said we were going to see a gold smith and that we could report back to her as to the craftmanship now, versus the ancient craftsmen we expected a demonstration not a tourist trap. This was not on our itinerary and we booked a private tour to avoid such blatant tourist stops. This stop delayed our lunch until 3pm (9.00 a.m. start therefore 6 hours before lunch). The tour was good, but we have deducted one star due to this irrelevant and unscheduled stop. Our driver was very safe and cautious, and the guide was friendly and pleasant. Beware there are local guides standing outside the pyramids who want to take you into the various pyramids, and when you say no guide, they insist they are security with a torch. Tell them you have your own on your phone. They are not needed, the stairwell has internal lighting and you will avoid the request for a tip. It appears anyone who looks at you or speaks to you wants a tip. We even had a request for a tip from a man who checked our ticket before descending into the Red Pyramid. He was sitting around the entrance with his companions smoking cigarettes. Also, the stairway to the entrance was littered with a huge amount of cigarette butts. Disgusting way to treat an UNSECO site.

Best way to see ancient Egypt!
Ahmed was an excellent guide for the day, and was very knowledgeable about Saqqara, Dahsur and Memphis. Dahsur is a must - it was incredibly quiet despite how impressive both the red and bent pyramids are. Saqqara is much bigger than we expected and was amazing to walk around. We had plenty of time to do all of the things we wanted to. Mahmoody was an excellent driver!

An experience of personal excavation brought by a wonderful guide
Mira is the best guide you can ask for, she is an encyclopedia of knowledge. The time flies by so fast like youre in a time travel history exploration movie and we are all the archeologist stars akin to Indiana Jones making discoveries our mind hadnt known before which Egypt is best for. She is so kind and thoughtful and really added so much more to the tour by always answering questions and providing information that may not have been expected for her to know but she knew everything and had an answer for every question brought her way. Ahmed was a great driver air conditioning on perfect cool and the seats were very fancy! Great duo to make a great tour. It lasted about 8 hours as planned due to shopping and stops. The only additional admission fee was to go inside the tomb at Saqqara which we highly recommend. August is slow season so the crowd was minimal. We are so grateful!

Once in a lifetime experience
Our tour today was absolutely exceptional. The locations we visited—, from Saqqara and the Step Pyramid of Djoser to Mit Rahina and the remarkable pyramids of Dahshur were fascinating and provided an incredible insight into the history of ancient Egypt. What truly made the experience stand out was Ibrahim. His knowledge, passion, and ability to explain the history and significance of each location were exceptional. He made the entire experience engaging, informative, and memorable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt, and especially recommend Ibrahim as an outstanding guide.

Full Pyramid Experience
What a great experience! Ahmed was a wonderful guide to see wonderful sites. We had a full day seeing the pyramids and learning Egyptian history. Ahmed was happy to answer all our questions and very mindful of our time on the tour. If you go in the pyramids, be ready for a workout, sweating, and small spaces. Overall a fantastic day and way to experience the pyramids.
