5.00What a great day. A nice alternative to the Grand pyramids of Giza. We started the tour at Saqqara, it was lovely to hear from my guide Yemani all about the history, especially about the running around the area. I was able to enter some of pyramids and see the amazing hieroglyphics. Next stop, Dashur. Now this was a real experience entering the pyramids, complete with bats! I'll be super fit after this experience. We saw Rameses II at Memphis, then off gor a bit of shopping and a lovely buffet for lunch. Yemeni was very knowledgeable and passionate. Being a solo traveller he took lots of photos to help me document my day, together with Paddington my travel companion! I would thoroughly recommend this trip!
Great experience

5.00It was a wonderful experience, more than I could have imagined. These pyramids are as majestic as the three great pyramids of Giza. Memphis' open-air museum is also teeming with some very interesting sites. Best of all, Fatma was a wonderful tour guide who showed us around. She made the experience even better. Fatma has perfect knowledge and the ability to explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. It was a day that made me want to come back if I had the chance.

A Memorable Tour

5.00I signed up for this trip because it offered access to the tombs around Saqqara as well as visiting Memphis and Dashur, and was not disappointed. Abdulrahman, my guide, picked me up on time and maintained excellent communication for the duration of the trip. He was knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history and managed to explain the finer details in a way which was professional and captivating. The pace of the tour was just right, and I managed to see everything I had hoped for. He was a very pleasant conversation companion on numerous topics, but also a very attentive listener, taking great care of the gust's needs. I strongly recommend his company and him personally as your guide around Cairo, Giza and the vicinity. This was a day well-spent!
The easiest way to see Saqqara & Dahshur

5.00Since these sites are quite far from the city center, getting there can be a hassle. This tour was the perfect solution—the private car pickup and drop-off made everything so convenient. The guide was great at managing our time, taking us through the main spots quickly and efficiently. If you want to see the key sights without any stress about transport, this is the one to book.
