We had a great tour! Ossama took a lot of time to explain everything and also gave us plenty of time to explore and look around at our own pace. The pick-up and drop-off arrangements worked perfectly, and the driver was very friendly. Everything went smoothly, and we really enjoyed the experience.
Breathtaking place , don’t miss it BUT our guide , even though he was really an Egyptologist, was not very accommodating and I don’t think he likes his job
Our tour guide, Tawfik, was very knowledgeable, which helped make this experience very informative. In addition, he had a positive attitude and accommodating.
Excellent informational tour with extremely friendly guide. Would recommend to anyone who decides for this trip!
Ezzaldin rashdan and mohammed salahgave us a wonderful day ánd went inside the piramid with us.💪🙌 The lunch was very tasty but a lot! We went to memphis and saqqara and visited the red piramid
Tawfik is our guide. Very professional and gave lot of info about the history. Highly recommended.
Great experience in Saqqara. Shady was an exceptional guide. He took the time to explain everything very comprehensively and he responded to all our question. We was very kind and we recommend it 100% The driver Sherif was also very nice and attentive
It was very informative and I enjoyed having no hassles with the trip and tour guide. Highly recommend!!!
A wonderful experience visiting the beauty of Sakkara, Menphis and Dahshur! The guide Tawfik was a real expert in Egyptian history, he had a great knowledge that he shared with us in a very very nice and simple way! The driver Mustafa was very kind too! We enjoyed a lot the tour, I strongly recommend it!
Very nice tour with knowledgeable guide and comfortable car. I also enjoyed the lunch near Memphis!
I’m from Korea and I came to Egypt. I really enjoyed my time at the Pyramids and I learned a lot about the area through our tour guide Ezzaldin who was with me today. He explained everything to me in detail. His explanation and the time with him were excellent, more than excellent. We also went to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the oldest museum. We discussed some of the artifacts and I saw the Hatshepsut Sphinx. It was the first time I discovered there’s another sphinx besides the Great Sphinx in Giza. We also went to Khan el-Khalili and saw the artworks there that represent ancient Egyptian civilization from the Pharaonic era, as well as the Islamic, Greek, and Roman periods. Today was beautiful. Thank you so much Ezzaldin for your effort, and thank you also to our driver Sherif for his smooth driving and the good service you provided for us today. Thank you all very much.
I had an amazing experience on the Pyramids and Sphinx tour with Hana and Ahmed. Everything was perfectly curated from start to finish, making for a seamless and enjoyable day. Both Hana and Ahmed were extremely professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout the tour. Hana, our guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the history and significance of the sites. Her communication was outstanding, and her excellent English made everything easy to understand and engaging. Ahmed was also a fantastic host, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that we were comfortable throughout the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend Hana and Ahmed to anyone visiting Cairo. Thank you both for such a memorable experience!
I wish the price of the tourvwas the actual price. At the end of the tour, you're expected to give more money.And I just feel like if they wanted more money , just charge me the money up front so that I would know. I only had a limited amount of cash on me and that cash was really for other things.I felt pressured at the very end to provide a tip because our tour guide turned around and looked at us and asked us to give him a tip and the driver. He did this after giving me the scan for this and asking me, did I finish the.Review for this. I hadn't finished the review because my internet was acting up and I was trying to upload some Photos. So just remember whatever amount you're paying.Add almost twenty percent to that , because they're going to expect you to tip them. And This is kind of annoying to me. I guess this was very annoying because the atms in Egypt were running out of cash as well. Everything else in the tour was great. We ended up going to the perfume shop instead of going to the museum.Because we had already been to the museum.I do feel like the perfume shop that we were taking to was very much overpriced , as I have been in egypt before. But the smells were good and the service was good. Actual Pyramid tour is really good, but it isn't really a private tour, because of the way that egypt now has its set up so basically , you have a private car and that car takes you to the ticket booth , and then from the ticket booth you get on a shared bus and you go to the pyramids. What's good now compare to the last time we were here.Is that now you can pay for your ticket with your card. And so you don't have to worry about having cash , which is really great , because a t m s do run out of cash a lot here. He did amazing job taking pictures and just being pleasant in general. He was calm and relaxing and he wasn't overwhelming in his demeanor. The car was a very good car.It was clean and had a good air conditioning and it looked like it was well taken care of. The lunch was good and western style although I personally prefer Egyptian food 😋 and would have liked that choice. There were access to clean restrooms. I suggest you bring a small lunch box with water and Drin. KS, because the drinks at the restaurant were overpriced.For example, for a soda, it was $3 and for a regular drink.It was five dollars. The spine was nice and I enjoyed it. One thing I will say that I appreciate that the Egyptian tourists authority has done is there is significantly less people.They are trying to scam you than it was.When we first came here. All in all the colors very good and I did myself , and I would definitely suggest it to someone else.
Shady is a friendly and very informative guide. Doing these sights as a tour was really convenient and would be difficult to do otherwise. I was happy to tick all of these boxes and get some interesting background info along the way.
All fine with this amazing visit . Shady Hamdy was our guide : highly reccomended !
Ayman was an awesome knowledge guide who made our day in Cairo wonderful. Sherif was a fantastic driver, with a great car. I felt very safe driving with him. Not rushed but given time to enjoy the sites of these wonderful places. Highly recommend for a day before or after a bigger tour like we did
Today, we visited Saqqara, and it was an incredible experience. Ezzaldin Rashdan was an exceptional guide; he explained everything about each area with great detail and profound knowledge. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier tour guide. Thank you so much!
Enjoyed a car trip to Saqqara, Dashaur and Memphis. Driver was on time 8am and pleasant. Amina was our friendly guide, and very informative about the places we visited. Had lovely walk and talk around the Step pyramid. Lunch was lovely and then we were driven back to our hotel about 2pm.
Excellent guide well explained very friendly and i am recommending to all ...happy visiting Egypt 🇪🇬 ❤️
Asma is very informative, and gave excellent details about NMEC and the Citadel. We were rushing so I appreciate that she kept our tour on time.
The tour was amazing. Mr. Tawfik explained everything clearly, and both he and our driver, Mr. Ahmed, were very kind and professional.
Its our first time in egypt, The day tour was great Tawffic was very helful from pre tour until we reach back to hotel, very informative tour.
We had an excellent day touring Sakkara and Memphis. We went inside Unas pyramid and princess Seshseset Idot’s tomb - both of which were so beautiful. Tawfik also got us into another tomb, which was great surprise and was also really beautiful! Tawfik was a fantastic guide and very informative - I’d really recommend this tour.
We had a lovely tour Guide Tawfiq. We visited, Sakkara, Dashur. We were not rushed, our tour guide gave us freedom to explore and answered all our questions. I am very happy to have had a knowledgeable tour guide. Will definitely come back.
It was an incredible experience, the guide Tawfik and the driver Kareem were very attentive and polite, turning the tour into a very pleasant day. It was an experience that will stay in memory forever!
The experience was wonderful! The guide was very attentive and helpful
A great tour - A must in Cairo. Our tour guide Tawfik was very nice, polite, and accommodating. A lot of information and unforgettable impressions remain. THANK YOU
Great tour, very interesting. Sites less frequented compared to Giza and for this reason also worthwhile. The guide Bishoy was nice, attentive, and always smiling.
Beautiful tour with Bishoy, our very kind, friendly, and always smiling guide! At the end of the tour, he took us to an Egyptian café that we liked a lot, not touristy at all! Thanks Bishoy!!!
If you like Italian-style trivia, Beshoy is the perfect guide for you! Fun and always smiling; he explains things, gives you time to observe, and makes the tour special with photos and extra information!
Nice tour, long, demanding, but rich in history and interesting surprises; Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis must be visited, and with Beshoy, everything was perfect!!
A nice trip among the lesser-known pyramids with an attentive and prepared guide who knew Italian well. I don't really like stops at souvenir shops, but this might be my own problem.
Beautiful hike with Shadi Hamdy great guide. Really recommended! Very good.
Wow! What a beautiful day spent with our guide Shady on a private tour. He's the best guide you can get! He is very friendly and attentive to what we want to see, he takes beautiful photos and he really knows a lot about Egypt. He can even read hieroglyphics! He also knows the tricks to not get caught in the crowd. I really recommend it!
I loved my day, Shady was wonderful, professional and very knowledgeable about her story. More than full day. I recommend it 100%
Many thanks to our guide Mahrous and our driver Mohammed for the top day they offered us by their knowledge and kindness. Very punctual, attentive and funny. I highly recommend this visit with friends, family or couple.
