Ibrahim was an excellent...

5.00Ibrahim was an excellent guide. I could tell he loved sharing history with us! Our driver was good as well. They were on time in a nice clean car. He showed us things the large tours would never see. Don’t go down the long dark crawl in the pyramid. Ibrahim has a better one to see and you won’t get harassed for money.
A brilliant day trip expertly led by Mahmoud, brilliant

5.00Mahmoud Ismail was our tour guide. A real gentleman, very knowledgeable and generous with his time. Giza is amazing but these sites are even better. Collected us in a comfortable car at our hotel and driven safely, even in the Egyptian traffic! He made us very welcome. Followed by a superb lunch, mixed grill, with a roof top view of the Giza pyramids. Would recommend 100%
Excellent Introduction to ancient Egypt

5.00Our guide was Mohamed Elshemei. He was very knowlegeable and patient with questions. The climb into the Bent pyramid was a challenge but worthwhile for the experience.
Highly recommend this full day trip with the guide Mohammed Elshemei

5.00Just did the tour with Mohammed Elshemei. Wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. Very attentive. Well worth doing. The climb into the Red Pyramid is not fit the faint hearted or unfit. It's tight and very warm. The restaurant for lunch at the base of the Pyramids of Giza with the views was incredible. I had a great day.
Excellent Trip

5.00Our guide was Ibrahim Allam, and driver Ezzat Zizo. Excellent trip, friendly, informative enthusiastic and helpful guide and a great driver with comfortable car. Sakkara mastabas and Dahsur pyramids a real highlight of holiday to Cairo. Definitely worth adding this trip if seeing Giza pyramids and museums. Route out of the city and into countryside and desert interesting contrast with the city and Lunch with a view at the end too. Recommended
A great way to start a trip in Cairo and the Nile.

5.00Meraa Ahmed was our guide. She was well informed, professional and attentive. We learned a great deal about ancient Egyptian history and were alerted to things to take special note of as we visited each site. We are here in Cairo a few days prior to starting a 16 day tour of Egypt and the Nile. Our tour guide for that trip recommended taking a guided tour of the Saqqara area as it would be a great introduction to everything we would be seeing on his tour. It was just as he suggested. We are so glad we did this and with such a great guide.
Saqqara necropolis, serapeum and associated pyramids.

5.00Very interesting full day tour to the Saqqara Necropolis, including the Serapeum and associated pyramids (step pyramid, bent pyramid, etc.). We entered quite a few tombs that required unlocking by a caretaker in order to gain entrance. Saqqara, to me is more interesting than the Giza plateau pyramids. A day trip to Saqqara is, in my opinion the best full day tour from Cairo. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and knew his way around the complex. Well worth a return visit, highly recommended.
Great day with Ahmed,...

5.00Overall, this was a very good tour and a great way to see multiple pyramids in one day. The itinerary was well planned, and we were able to visit several important sites without feeling rushed. The tour guides were attentive to our requests and flexible with timing, which made the experience much more enjoyable. Transportation and overall service were good, and everything ran smoothly. A solid experience and a good choice for anyone wanting to explore the pyramids and tombs
