Great trip to Saqqara

5.00Mahmoud was a great guide, very knowledgeable about all the history and Walid was a good driver and very helpful. We saw a lot of the countryside which was interesting as well as lots of Pyramids. We had the lunch option which was good, but it came a little late just before the end of the tour, around 3pm a day we got very hungry before! Only a small thing and overall a great trip.
Wonderful

5.00Ahmed was a very knowledgeable tour guide who spoke perfect English. We had a driver as well, which allowed Ahmed to talk with us the whole time that we were driving and dropped us close to the sites. Ahmed took us to additional places of interest, 3 pyramids and also to a cartouche and papyrus shop. Everything was perfect.
Best tour guide!

5.00This is absolutely the best tour! Our private guide (Anan) and driver (Haitham) accompanied us for a full day of exploration. We didn’t need to think about logistics, everything was so well organised and flowed beautifully. Visiting Cairo for the first time, we of course wanted to visit the Pyramids of Giza, they were everything we hoped for, but the special bit for us was the opportunity to experience the lesser visited sites to explore and learn more about the development of the pyramids, seeing the stepped pyramid and the bent and red pyramid (going inside at least one is definitely advised!) Anan was even able to arrange a short private view inside the Tomb of Mehu - the wall art was mesmerising and a real treat. Anan was so knowledgeable and welcomed our curiosity. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Highly recommend
