The driver was right on time for pickup, and the itinerary moved efficiently throughout the day. Seeing the step pyramids at Saqqara alongside the major pyramids of Giza provided a complete historical overview. Traveling with a private guide made it easy to spend extra time examining details at each location. My guide provided clear explanations and answered all of my questions thoughtfully.

Visiting Giza and Saqqara together gave me a great perspective on the progression of ancient Egyptian architecture. Having a private vehicle and guide allowed me to explore each historical site comfortably without any sense of rush. My guide shared clear, fascinating history at every step, making the whole day thoroughly enjoyable.
Mimo was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and pitched his information at the right level. He arranged for enough time for me to enjoy the sights and sites after explaining their features and significance.
Everything was handled smoothly from the morning pickup to the end of the journey. Combining Giza and Saqqara into one private itinerary allowed me to appreciate the full timeline and craftsmanship of ancient pyramid building. The private setup was comfortable and gave me the freedom to enjoy the landmarks at my own speed. My guide was exceptionally skilled at explaining the history in a clear and captivating way. Seeing all these historic sites in a single day was a remarkable experience.
The pickup was prompt and the entire itinerary was handled with great organization. Visiting both Giza and Saqqara gave me a complete picture of how pyramid architecture evolved across different dynasties. Having a private tour allowed me to walk through each archaeological area comfortably without feeling rushed. My guide was informative, patient, and shared detailed context at every single stop. Standing beside these iconic structures was a fantastic experience.
It was an incredible experience from start to finish. Covering both Giza and Saqqara in a single day gave us a comprehensive look at the history and evolution of pyramid building.The private setup made the day very comfortable and allowed us to explore at a steady, enjoyable pace without feeling rushed. Our guide was knowledgeable, providing great insights into each location while keeping the day organized and seamless. Standing up close to these ancient landmarks was unforgettable.
We had an incredible experience on our private tour of Giza and Saqqara with Nile Navigators. from the seamless pickup to the end of the journey, everything went smoothly. Exploring the pyramids with a dedicated private setup allowed us to take in the sheer history and scale of the sites without feeling rushed. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, giving us deep insights into ancient Egyptian history at every stop. The overall service felt well worth every penny, offering fantastic value for money. It was a well organized, memorable day out.
We had such a wonderful day with Mohamed visiting Saqqara, Giza and the pyramids. From the moment we started, he took care of every little detail and made the whole day feel completely effortless. He knew exactly where to go, how to avoid the crowds and what was worth spending our time on. One of the things I really appreciated was that Mohamed encouraged us to try a few things we probably would have skipped on our own. We’re so glad we listened to him, as they ended up being some of the best parts of the day. He was great with our whole family, kept things fun for the kids and was always happy to answer questions or change the pace when needed. He also took the most lovely photos of us throughout the day. It was so nice to actually have beautiful family photos from the pyramids rather than the usual rushed phone snaps, and the video he made for us afterwards was such a lovely touch. Mohamed is warm, funny, incredibly knowledgeable and clearly very experienced. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble and we felt completely looked after from beginning to end. A really special day and one we’ll remember for a long time. We couldn’t recommend Mimo more highly.
We had a full-day private tour as a family of four, visiting Saqqara, Giza and a few other stops along the way, and Mohamed was brilliant from start to finish. He took care of everything for us, including organising tickets and dealing with staff at the different sites, which made the whole day really easy. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, had great English, and was awesome with the kids. You could tell he knew all the tricks too — getting us through lines, knowing the best places to go, keeping things moving at a really good pace, and somehow still making the day feel relaxed. He also took some amazing photos of us during the day and then put them together into a very cool video, which was a great bonus. It was pretty obvious Mohamed is one of the most experienced and well-known guides in the area, and we felt very well looked after the whole time. Overall, an unforgettable day. If you get the chance to book with Mimo, do it before someone else does.
We’ve had a wonderful experience with our tour guide and honorary family member, Mohamed. For our once-in-a-lifetime vacation, he has delivered a unique, informative and authentic Egyptian experience. From viewing the “hidden” tomb at Saqqara, to the perfect photos of the Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza. Mohamed not only gave us the information and photos we came for, but he also managed our entire experience. Getting us to the right spots before the crowds, politely handling the local vendors, and timing lunch, bathroom stops, etc. with precision. Our family is grateful to Mohamed for helping us to optimize our time in Giza and we look forward to spending more time with him in Cairo next!
We had an incredible experience with our Tour Guide, Mohamed, exploring the Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Mohamed has a wealth of knowledge on Egyptian Pharaonic history in a way that kept us totally captivated! From the moment he met us at our hotel, his warmth and enthusiastic manner made us feel very welcome. What we appreciated most was how he navigated the crowded sites. Mohamed knew exactly where to take us for the best, crowd-free photos and how to politely handle the local vendors. He never rushed us, made sure we had an authentic experience with morning tea and lunch. My husband and I highly recommended Mohamed as an exceptional Tour Guide for an authentic Egyptian experience.
Wow! Another amazing day tour with Mohamed. A full day of immersion in Egyptian history covering the sites of the Saqqara Necropolis, Serapeum, Dashur and Memphis. He managed the itinerary to incorporate and accommodate our needs for Egyptian coffee and shopping ! We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. You will not regret booking a tour with Mohamed.
Absolutely incredible at what he does and seriously can’t recommend him more.
We had a great day with Mimo at Saquarra. The scale of the place is amazing as is the harshness of the landscape. Being able to access the tombs and see the inscriptions so perfectly preserved was amazing. The visit to the Spice shop at the end was also fantastic Highly recommend.
We had the most wonderful experience visiting the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara. Our guide, Mohamed (Mimo) was the best! He’s friendly, professional and very knowledgeable in all things Egypt. Honestly, there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer! He educated us in a fun way, kept us engaged and made our experience so worthwhile. But more than that, he made us feel like part of his family. He’s so kind and he made us (a family of 2 adults and 2 teenage children) feel comfortable every step of the way. If you’re thinking of visiting Egypt, do it, but don’t do it without Mimo!
We had an incredible time in Egypt, and a huge part of that was thanks to Mohammad. From the moment we met him, he was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best possible experience. Mohammad went above and beyond throughout the tour. His knowledge of Egyptian history was fantastic, but what really stood out was the way he made everything interesting, fun and easy to understand. He was incredibly patient with our family, answered every question we had, and somehow managed to make even the busiest and hottest days enjoyable! He also made us feel completely comfortable and looked after from start to finish. Nothing felt rushed, and he was always thinking ahead to make sure everything ran smoothly. If you’re coming to Egypt, I couldn’t recommend Mohammad and Absolute Egypt Tours highly enough. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and genuinely cares about giving you an unforgettable experience, ask for Mohammad! Thank you, Mohammad, for helping make our time in Egypt so memorable. 🇪🇬❤️ We’ll never forget it!
Amazing day! What an adventure. Mimo is so knowledgeable and patient in explaining all of the history to us. Wonderful experience - an absolute must do.
Full-day tour covering Giza and Saqqara with enough time to see many pyramids without feeling rushed. Staff were organized and the guide shared interesting details throughout the day. Best for travelers interested in history and seeing more than the usual main sites. Best memories were visiting Saqqara and seeing the different pyramids in one trip. Crowd was manageable, quieter in some areas away from the main Giza pyramids. Good value considering transport, guide, and full-day schedule.
Mohamed was very knowledgeable, friendly and well organised. He explained the history clearly, answered all our questions, and made the trip easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt.
Mohamed was a wonderful tour guide and he definitely made our experience exploring Cairo more special. He was very friendly and has a lot of knowledge on all the places we visited, answering all my questions in detail. He made sure to adapt the pace of the visits to our needs, finding a great balance between explaining things to us but also giving us space to visit on our own. He also took a lot of great group photos of us!
Great tour to see several pyramides and sites with plenty of flexibility to stay longer at places you like. Our guide Mohamed was also happy to add activities or skip some according to our choices, and very helpful in showing us the good pictures spots.
Doaa is the perfect guide. Excellent english and knows everything. Lovely trip in every way. Driver good too. In all, a very nice experience.
We started early in the morning with our guide Mohamed Kamel. Everything was perfectly organized , we saw everything planned with no stress , having our time to see and photograph . I highly recommend !
My wife and I actually had Mohamed Kamel as a guide for the Giza pyramids, Saqqara and the Serapheum. I have seen these before but my wife hasn't. He was pleasant, engaging and like any good guide brought what we saw to life. Highly recommended
We had the most amazing experience with 2 days of tours with Muhammad. The first to the pyramids, my dream of visiting since childhood, and we were not disappointed. The second to the Great Egyptian Museum in Cairo, again so much to see but Muhammad listened to us regarding the artifacts that we wanted to see. Muhammad has so much knowledge and experience of all things Egyptian. He never rushed us and gave us as much time as we needed to see and explore each site. He took photos of us and sent them to my phone, excellent memories. I would highly recommend Muhammad as your guide. 5* guide
Awesome private day tour focusing on Giza and Saqqara, giving you the opportunity to view all 15 different pyramids in a non rushed manner. noura, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, she did a fantastic job explaining the history of each site, and helped capture some great photos throughout the tour, The admission to Giza and Saqqara was easy, and the tour itself was extremely well organised, The length of the tour was perfect, pacing was excellent and the views were truly breathtaking!
We enjoyed the tour of Saqqara and the great pyramids. Cairo was a fascinating city. Mimo was great, so was Karem. We enjoyed it as a family.
Kamel is a great guide. He is full of knowledge and information. A wicked sense of humour coupled with a serious desire to make sure you have every question answered and a good time. His English is excellent and he is most attentive.
Great ride between Saqqara and Memphis! Our guide Sara has always been attentive, professional and super helpful! Highly recommended!
The experience started with the guide contacting us the day before and we got clear information about everything and the pickup, when it was time they were right here to pick us up, the day started with very very very good information about everything that would ❤️ a super nice and smart woman who was so nice and help Sam (Doaa) I recommend her strong, she was the perfect guide somewhere ❤️
As a solo traveler, the private full day in Giza and Sakkara seemed clearly structured and relaxed. Each pyramid could be experienced in peace, without peer pressure. Noura led the day attentively and safely, giving precise insights and deliberately leaving room for her own moments between history and silence.
Our group of friends enjoyed a dynamic and well-organized tour, full of great sites and fun moments. Kamel guided us professionally, sharing interesting stories and clear explanations. It perfectly managed the timing and maintained a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The day was fluid, captivating and full of laughter. A truly memorable experience with friends.
