Our journey began at the Hilton Pyramids Golf Resort. Our guide and driver, Ash, went out of his way to pick us up one-time, even though our hotel was out of the way. From there we proceed to Saqqara, Memphis and Giza. Overall, the day was pleasant, at our place and very informative. We spent 7 hrs total between the 3 locations. The weather was great and the day went by fast. Ash is a great driver compared to some other crazy drivers we have had in the past. Overall, the day was excellent. 5 out of 5 stars for Ash. For a 1st timer to Egypt or to learn the history vs just sightseeing and taking pics, hire Ash. The private transport alone is worth the price!

My guide was Sam, he did great job! His stories were interesting with enough details, sites were just amazing! Sam is very attentive and pleasant to speak to. I booked group tour but it turned out that I was the only tourist there with Sam, I felt very safe and welcomed. Highly recommend the tour and Sam as a guide!
Sameh is super kind, speaks good English and has rich experience and we learned a lot history of Egypt from him, which is super interesting. Highly recommend and thanks again.
Sameh is a perfect guide, he is very knowledgable about Egyptian history, everything about the pyramids, tombs of the kings... We have learned a lot from him. He is also veryvkind hearted, he drives around for us, working all the way to 17-18oclock, which is abnormal for local guide. He even helped us with cash borrowing since our credit card doesnt work well in Egypt. Definitely recommend him to everyone!! Thank you a lot for the experience of one day!
Gyza is absolutely amazing, El Cairo is a city to visit with a guide, and we felt really lucky to share our days here with MR Sameh, he is a History Professor 🙌, great sense of humour and really nice guy, 100% recommendable
Great day in Cairo with Sam, everything ok! Very nice experience!! He received us in the airport and travell around the city!
The Giza pyramids are extraordinary! Sam was great explicating everything, súper recomendable 🙌🏻🙌🏻
My tour guide for Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx , Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids was Mohamed, he was great and very knowledgeable, very nice & helpful throughout this amazing day tour. I would highly recommend this Day tour.
I had a great experience with our guide Mohamed! He is very knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo
Trip of a life time. Our guide, Sameh was super knowledgeable, for and flexible. I can't wait to visit Egypt again!
My husband and I went to Sakkara, Memphis, and the Giza Pyramids + Sphinx. Our tour guide was Sameh. He was very knowledgeable and told us all about Egypt's history, the architecture of the various monuments, and always gave us a heads up on any need to know tips to not get scammed or bothered at each site. The day was well structured and we always had free time to wander around alone if we preferred. The day also includes a few other stops to places to buy carpets, art, perfumes/oils, and cotton, we decided to skip almost all of them (it was nice to have that option!!). I learned a ton this trip and got great photos. If you want to go with someone whose knows what they're doing, ask for Sameh to be your guide. You won't regret it.
Egypt, was the trip of a lifetime and was more enjoyable with a great host. Sameh was my guide for the day and was a great pleasure being by his side. He knows so much and is great at what he does. Very knowledgeable on the history of Egypt; not to mention a very wise man. Had great conversations not only about the rich history but also about life. His family and friends are very lucky to have him. If you are visiting Egypt for the first time or returning back, definitely hire Sameh. I would not want anyone else to take me around. When I visit again, I will most certainly reach out to him!
I recommend wholeheartedly this tour! They delivered everything as indicated, I was taken from the airport and placed at a hotel, driven around during the days of the tour, I got a great guide and even if my departure flight was on a different day, they helped me out with a ride at the airport. The driver, Ayman was very careful as the traffic in the city can be challenging. Mohamed was my guide and we spent some wonderful hours together. He explained everything, answered all my questions, even left me some time alone if I wanted to explore on my own, he was very respectful and knowledgeable. He speaks English and French and is a nice and pleasant company. Thank you Peter, Ayman and Mohamed! Beautiful Egypt memories will remain with me forever.
Sameh, my guide for the day, was the real bonus of the day. Friendly and knowledgeable, he quickly put me at ease. His delivery when talking about the places we visited was entertaining and joyous, so pleasant to listen to. He was so enthusiastic about the places and was unhurried and answered all questions with confidence and patience. A truly wonderful experience: I totally recommend this tour with Sameh, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Sam (Sam7) for this wonderful experience! Worth every penny paid! Sam took care of me for the whole day. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide and a (hi)story teller. The full day was an immersion in ancient Egypt history since its start with a lot of details about the sites visited. I have enjoyed every site.
As a single white female traveling solo, I felt completely safe and taken care of by Sam & Ayman (Cairo & Alexandria). They are both so nice and friendly...they helped me out so much, never leaving me alone to fend for myself. They were there every step of the way! Can't thank them enough! And Peter was available at any time of day to answer any question I had leading up to and throughout the trip. Im not sure he sleeps! :) The team was very knowledgeable and extremely kind! They helped me book additional excursions and made sure my time in Egypt was exceptional. I feel like I have new friends in Egypt! Cannot wait to return and would reccomend them all highly.
The tour became solo, because I came in late. Despite of that, Peter did his best to accommodate me and has accomplished wonderfully everything to make my stay as memorable and complete. Was able to see the most important places with the help of @Mohamedhassabok@gmail.com. He’s very knowledgeable with all the places we’d been. Has accomplished a lot of places for such a short time that I was here. Thank you to TourRadar. Rosanna
