My guide Ahmed was amazing. Extremely knowledgable and personable. He answered all of my many questions (I am a historian so he gave in-depth answers to complicated questions). The driver Sam was also very friendly. It has been an excellent day and highlight of my trip to Cairo so far!

If you really want to know about the pyramids the egyptian history then Ahmed is your guy. I haven’t seen a more passionate and knowledgeable tour guide. There was nothing he did not know and really gave us an unforgettable lesson if the egyptian history. I would definitely recommend him and the driver Sameh for any tour. Trust me you won’t regret it.

We highly recommend this tour. Our guide Ibrahim was so friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt so much about ancient (and modern) Egypt. He took us to the best areas and avoided the crowds. And our driver was incredibly skilful, navigating the streets with ease. The two pyramids at Dahshur were spectacular and we were there with only a handful of people of the whole site. Saqqara was fascinating. Many, many tombs, too many to comprehend. And we ended with a visit to Memphis, once a capital of Egypt, and a lovely koshary lunch with our guide. If you book this tour you will not be disappointed.

The guide was disappointing, gave brief explanations and let us go around alone. Also claimed that all pyramids were created by God.

The sites were great but the guide was okay. She seemed very interested in the first site and gave good information. But at the second pyramid she just waited for us in the car. At the end of the site visit, an officer approached us and we thought we did something wrong. It would have been nice if she was there to help translate but thankfully we were close enough to the car so he can approach them. Also, at the end she asked if I was bored with Egypt because I seemed too calm but that statement took me by surprise. It made it uncomfortable. It was the last day of our 10 day trip in Egypt and I was exhausted plus I’m a bit reserved and introverted. I loved all the history of Egypt but this tour guide made me feel bad at the end of my trip. Wish we had someone else to visit these beautiful sites.

The sites itself were great but wish we had a different guide. There wasn’t much talk on the way to the first location. Very informative at our first site, but then the second stop she went back to the car and said she would wait. At the end of this visit, we were approached by an officer and would have been great if she was with us to translate. Then towards the end, she had asked if I was bored by Egypt which took me by surprise. I loved all the sites but I’m a bit quiet and introverted. It was also the very end of the 10 day trip and I was quite tired (fell asleep in the car exhausted) so I was not as perky I guess for her. Made me feel uncomfortable. Not the best ending for my trip but glad we were able to see the Saqqara and the Bent pyramid.
