Reviews
This was a great half day tour for our first day in Egypt. Just the right amount of sites and length. Our guide Mohamed was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We would definitely recommend it.
Un site incroyable et qui plus est quasi désert. La prestation était comme indiquée et la communication en amont parfaite !
We had an amazing trip wit Fouad! He helped us find the special new discoveries in Saqqara as discussed in the Netflix documentories about the place (the secrets of Saqqara tomb and the lost piramid). He tailored to all our needs and was very friendly. We definitly recommending him!
Very eloquent and entertaining, Ehab was great fun. He took great photos and sent them to us and happily modified the itinerary because my wife is pregnant, and understood that our 15 month old wanted to walk half of it!
Driver was perfectly on time. The road trip to the sites was very pleasant, Ahmed is a great driver, but he has been a perfect guide as well. Couldn’t find a cheaper and better tour if you want to explore the sites. I would definitely recommend it.
Bisho is an excellent tour guide: knowledgeable, interesting and personable. He seemed genuinely interested to help us get a better understanding of both ancient — and modern — Egyptian life. He shared his personal experiences with us in a way that made the complexities of modern Egyptian life as interesting as the spectacular antiquities. He was open to all our questions and made excellent suggestions for us when we asked about restaurants and specific items of interest. He was also an excellent driver; relaxed and calm but with a great ability to move through traffic that we appreciated. We
