The airport pick-up was very flexible and it was great!
When you book through TripAdvisor, Emo will contact you via WhatsApp, so you can ask them to make various arrangements, which was very convenient!
We departed from the airport and were dropped off at the hotel. We told them the time of arrival (flight) at Cairo Airport and they came to pick us up at that time, but the guide was waiting for us as soon as we left the airport, so we were able to start the tour smoothly.
The tour was originally scheduled to start in the morning, but it was very helpful that they changed the time to around 11:30.
We participated as a family of three, and the van was spacious enough to sit comfortably even with a large suitcase, so it was easy to travel long distances!
The tour guide spoke English, but he spoke slowly and carefully, so it was easy to understand. Our guide was Tarek, and his explanations were also very polite.
The tour itself was good, but...
At the end, we were strongly recommended to go to a papyrus store, but we told them that we would prefer perfume, so we went to a perfume and spice store. It was extremely expensive, but since it was our first day in Egypt, we bought it at the asking price, and later regretted it when we found out that it was easy to bargain. Be careful!

VERY GRATEFUL
I got to Cairo early passed midnight, in the morning and we went to the hotel , my tour package would start next day so at 5 am I thought I could take a tour to Sakkara so I wouldn’t waste my very first day and Eco tour scheduled my tour the same day at 10 am , I haven’t had a tour in that short time, thanks to my guide Waleed and “Afroto” the driver, with their knowledge and kindness I had a great day in Cairo and I didn’t waste my day at the hotel pool because even on vacation the time is money, highly appreciated and highly recommended

Unforgettable visit of the oldest pyramids
The pyramids of Dashur are unforgettable, pleasant day! Menna our guide was very nice, full of energy and good vibe to tell us history of Ancient Egypt. She was authentic and nice talks with her. I definitely would recommend her!
Only small negative point is lunch, the food was good but the place a bit cringe.

Superb!
Myself and my friend both enjoyed our trip to Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis very much with Sayeed Amin and his very smooth, safe driver Abdul. Sayeed was so informative about history and archaeology and his love of both was quite clear. A great trip was had with time for information, pictures, questions and much more. I certainly recommend Sayeed to anyone. Hes very relaxed and funny too.

Amazing half day tour of Saqqara, Dashur and Memphis! It is a great combo, with lots of information and fun facts about ancient Egypt and the sites.
My guide Sayed Amin was very nice and knowledgeable and our driver Said Elsayed was very kind.

A great day in the desert
I was hesitant to book any guided tours but I’m so glad I booked this one! Menna was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable about the Sakkara and Dahsur pyramids. Her friendly and outgoing personality made us feel like we were on a trip with a friend. She encouraged us to take pictures and also was open to walking and talking in the desert when we didn’t feel up to going inside the final pyramid. And Mohamud our driver had no problem to pick us up along the street.
We started at Sakkara, where we saw the step pyramid and explored a very well kept tomb. Then we continued to the Mit Rahina Museum in Memphis to see the outdoor display of the statues of Rameses II and from there headed back into the desert to visit the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. We finished the day with lunch in Giza. We were offered to visit the carpet schools and the papyrus museum but declined.
As I mentioned at the beginning, I was hesitant about the tour but this was amazing.

Amazing - must-do!
Sayed, our guide, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. We visited the red and bent pyramids first, and went inside the bent pyramid. This was an amazing experience and better than going inside the Great Pyramid, because there were far fewer people, and the climb is more interesting - down a long ramp, then up a series of stairs and through tunnels. Very Indiana Jones! We then visited the museum in Memphis and on to Sakkara. The tombs in Sakkara are very easily accessible, compared to the bent pyramid. Again, Sakkara was very quiet.
Obligatory visit to a rug makers on the way back - but no pressure to buy anything.
Definitely recommend this trip - very well organised, good to do just a half-day, and very few other tourists. Going in the bent pyramid was a highlight of the trip for me.
