This tour was AMAZING and one of the best tours that we did in Egypt!!! Entesar was our tour guide and she was so very enthusiastic the entire tour!!! She is so knowledge (a previous history teacher) and was excited to teach us about the pyramids and Egyptian history. She was so patient and allowed us time to take pictures of the pyramids. It was so great to see the pyramids outside of Giza and to see Memphis. We like the rural area and seeing a different area of Egypt. Mostafa was our driver. He was a very safe driver and very courteous.

Was a good trip , interesting to see the other pyramids, and go into the bent shaped one, was quite tight and awkward to climb down and back up because the ceilings were very low, but was a good experience. We felt our tour guild let it down a bit , left us to wonder around the places we stopped so parts we didn’t know what we was looking at, should have walked around with us and explained. Not had a tour guide do this before. The restaurant at the end wasn’t great.

Where shall i start . I booked driver only and got Mr. Amro ( Mo ) as the driver but it turned out to be an amazing guide as well . From the start he made sure he treated me as a guest and not as a tourist . Such an amazing person he explained every aspect and made sure i enjoyed it . Please make sure you ask him as your tour coordinator/ guide . I really enjoyed the tour and the experience which i have never had

This is a great way to see the highlights of Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur and learn more about the beautiful and complex history of Egypt. Our guide Karim, was enthusiastic and friendly. He provided us with so much detail and context related to the meanings and cultural importance of what we saw, he really made our experience an unforgettable one! I would be happy to recommend this experience to other travellers to Cairo and Giza.

Everything was perfect! Hamed, my driver, was on time and picked me up at the right location. He was very kind and helpful throughout the day and speaks good English. I had a great time and managed to visit all the places I wanted to, while taking my time. Saqqara and Dashur are not to be missed, they were the highlights of my trip to Cairo. The tombs of Mereruka and Kagemni have amazing paintings, and it’s possible to go inside the pyramids at Dashur, which was great fun as there were very few people there. I felt it was less touristy than Giza but a lot more interesting. It’s a great trip at a great price and I recommend it to everyone!

Our tour was wonderful, we hand an amazing 7 stars driver... Mr Yasser is an expert driver, polite and such a nice person who speaks 4 different languages. I was grateful that he also spoke in Italian since my friend Alex doesn't understand English. His car is a brand new car, clean and scented. It was the best day in Egypt and thank you with all my heart for this tour Mr Yasser... THE BEST DRIVER EVER ❤️❤️❤️ 🇪🇬❤️

Our tour started with the guide asking why we booked so early, nothing is open (7am), I assumed if the time is given as an option, it would be open; not so. The tour was very average, not much excitement from the guide, spent time on his phone. Be warned, this company hires freelance guides, so it is the luck of the draw. The pyramids were neat to go inside, I went in all 3. NOTE: it is a workout on your legs because you are squatting down and climbing. Would not recommend the Bent pyramid for those not fit. You climb all the way down, then go through passages and many steps up then do all again in reverse. It was a lot and hot and many people could not make it. Guide should have explained the depth and what it entails as I was with a 70 year old woman. Luckily, we saw a 50ish man crawling out and she decided to sit out. The other 2 pyramids were not as bad.
