Hoda, our guide, was excellent. Friendly, entertaining, very knowledgeable. This is a great 3-4 hour tour if you arrive late in Cairo and are jet-lagged. Our driver was safe (saying something here in Cairo), courteous and attentive. Saqqara was surprising in in It’s size and breadth.

During my trip to Cairo, I had the opportunity to enjoy yet another wonderful experience. I wished to revisit the Saqqara necropolis. Although, as an Egyptologist, I know it almost by heart, my 26 years of experience—during which Egypt has been my second home—have taught me that it is always beneficial to be accompanied on such visits by experienced Egyptian Egyptologist guides. For this reason, I once again turned to the professional services of Discover Egypt Tour, based in Haram, Cairo. For a more than reasonable price, the company provided me with the outstanding services of the guides Ata

We enjoyed the experience itself, however the car that we got picked up in was dirty (inside), and the guide Gina spent a lot of time arguing with people on the phone. In my opinion she needs to focus her time on our tour and not on her phone calls. She was also loud in the car on the phone which was very annoying. We are not paying a guide nearly $70 pp to be the phone Our activity consisted of the guide and driver picking us up from the hotel in Giza, driving to Saqqara, walking around the step pyramid and the ruins and going down into the bent pyramid and driving back. It’s a short tour - w

Totally recommend this tour with the team. There is so much history and the Saqara pyramids are so much nice to enter than the Giza ones. They are also older! Our guide was very knowledgeable and told us all about the history and the significance. So happy we included this and the entire team ensured we had an excellent experience

Sara knew her stuff, good English. Isaac organised everything, all well planned and on time. Highly recommend and would definitely use again if coming back with the family.
