3.00The tour covered some truly amazing locations — Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur were all fascinating to see and offered a great glimpse into Egypt’s ancient history. Our guide and driver were both very nice and friendly, and they made the trip comfortable and enjoyable. However, we felt that the content of the tour was a bit shorter and less detailed than we had expected, possibly due to some language constraints. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a good introduction to these historic sites, but a little more in-depth commentary would have made it perfect.

5.00Our tour guide was fantastic!! He was fluent in English, extremely knowledgable in Egyptian history, humorous, and so much fun! We could not have asked for a better guide. It was day in Saqqara, Memphis and the ride there and back. And our driver Emir was very kind and a very safe driver. Perfect day!

5.00Our guide, Afifi, was fantastic. Very intuitive and considerate, as well as knowledgeable. We always felt safe. We got to see and explore so much more than we did on our previous day's bus tour to Giza. I would highly recommend.
