Visit with the best guide Aya! - Of the best excursions we have done in Cairo. The Aya guide is professional and attentive, we have learned a lot with it and has allowed us to take as much time as we wanted to enjoy the wonders visited and be able to take photos. Unbeatable!! Thank you very much Aya!!

Nice tour and pyramids - We enjoyed our day visiting these pyramids. Our guide and driver is very nice. Going inside the narrow pyramid tunnels can be challenging so get ready for some physical activity.

Great tour to the pyramids - Really nice trip. Our guide was super knowledgeable and answered all our question. The car was very comfortable, I really recommend this tour if you want to see the other pyramids outside of Cairo without any hassle.

What an amazing day! - We were pick up right on time from the front door of our hotel. Our driver, Mahmoud, did an expert job navigating the streets of Cairo. Our first stop was Saqqara where we had the opportunity to enter the pyramid. It was cool to see the rooms, carvings and construction. Our guide, Entesar Esmail was amazing. She clearly has a passion for Egyptian History and is well informed. She was great about being present and answering questions but she also knew when to give me and my husband space. This is a very difficult balancing act and she managed it expertly. After the Saqqara Monuments we went to a carpet weaving school where we had the opportunity to see how the carpets were made. We ended up purchasing a small rug at a discount but we didn’t feel any pressure to purchase anything. Our next stop was the red pyramid. We walked up the side of the pyramid and my husband descended the 30 meters to the lower chambers inside the pyramid. The space was very warm and cramped so I passed on it. Our final pyramid was Dashur. We could have walked around it but we decided to simply admire it from the one side. After this we went to see the sphinx of Memphis. All the site were outstanded. After that we had a buffet and grilled meat lunch. Beverages are not included but juice and soda was $2. The food was very good. We really enjoyed ourselves and Entesar was a big reason why. The only con was that our main guide was not allowed to go into the pyramids and you can’t go in without a “park” guide. The park guides were nice enough but they add very little and require a tip. Bring small bills for them.

Good trip, need better tour guide - The trip itself was really good, however paying for a tour guide who was trying his best to read to information from his phone was not what I expected. The driver had better English, was more interested in the trip and was more chatty than the tour guide.

Not recommended - While the sights were definitely worth seeing, the overall tour was a bit disappointing. We waited over an hour to be picked up, and the guide didn’t offer much information unless we asked directly. It felt unorganized and a bit impersonal.
