Reviews
Kareem was a very good guide. He was very knowledgeable of history and culture, enthusiastic and friendly.
Very good tour, informative and friendly tour guide and driver. Air Conditioned vehicle organised, arrive early with communication from driver prior to collection. Took us to local stores and Papyrus Museum, before driving through to Saqaara Pyramids, then to Memphis and finally Dashour. Experienced driver took us most direct routes which was appreciated. Not to other travellers that some of the roads are uneven and bumpy. Entrance fees to the various pyramids are charged at the entrances and vary between 400 Egyptian Pounds and 800 EGP. Thank you to Rafaat for a memorable day.
We gave just had the most amazing tour guided by kyrllos Eskandar Driver name Shady. From pick up to drop off I couldn’t fault anything. We have been blown away by what we have seen and Kyrllos is one of the best guides we’ve had. We weren’t rushed at all, we had fun and learnt Soooo much 🇪🇬🫶🏻He is so passionate about Egyptian history. He has also written two books which I’m keen to get as well! One of the best days we will have in our lives and that has a lot to do with our fab guide! Thank you 🙏 Best bits… all but probably Sakkara My daughter is 18 and thoroughly enjoyed herself.
I was lucky to have a private tour, which made the experience even more special. The tour company promptly contacted me via WhatsApp after booking, and when I asked for a last moment time change, they connected me directly with Ehab, the guide. Magdey, the car driver, picked me up, then we collected Ehab before heading to the pyramids. Both were incredibly polite and accommodating, prioritizing the sites I wanted to see and adjusting the schedule so I could catch my flight later that afternoon. I highly recommend the half-day tour to Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur with Magdey and Ehab!
Our guide Ehab and our driver Mohamed were very attentive. They did their best to provide everything you need or want. Ehab seems to know everything about Egypt and can answer any question. Perfect team, definitely recommend!
Hermosos lugares, muy interesantes. Una vista de El Cairo urbano y rural, y la riqueza cultural de este país.
