A perfect tour to the step pyramid at Saqqara. Picked up from my hotel exactly on time. A comfortable car with AC; a very good driver; and a wonderful tour guide. I got to see everything that I wanted to see, including the Serapium. Sweet!
This was a tour of the Old Kingdom tombs of King Unas and Teti and minor nobles. I also visited the Imhotep Museum which Included artifacts from the Sakkara area during the Old Kingdom.
Great tour, Had a driver and a guide even though it was just me. The Private nature of the tour allowed me to move at the pace I wanted. Great value for the price.
