Recommend this tour to Saqqara and Dahsur - We're very happy with the tour, our driver and Mo, our tour guide. They give you the options of other experiences within the tour and we asked if they could drop us at the GEM instead of our hotel and it was no problem. Mo was very knowledgable and friendly. We recommend this tour de Deluxe. We went inside one of the pyramids our our proper first day in Egypt.

10/10! - Zizou was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history of ancient Egypt with us and connecting it to modern day practices. We learned so much and had a great time! He was very accommodating when we asked if we could add an extra exhibit that we heard about post booking as well. 10/10!

A must-go excursion for anyone touring Cairo - Our tour guide was Zizou. He did an excellent job of answering our questions extending from ancient Egypt to modern day Egypt. He was incredibly scholarly and was able to answer our questions deeply with evidence from past findings in the field. I highly recommend booking him as a tour guide, especially for those interested in how we know what we do of ancient Egypt. The tour car was very luxurious and comfortable, large enough for a group of 8-10, though we were two. The roads can be a little bumpy so I recommend Dramamine for anyone prone to car sickness. We also added Serapeum to our trip, which was fascinating, but I recommend letting your tour guide know you’re interested in seeing this beforehand because it’s a separate ticket.

A superb excursion into the ancient history of Egypt - We loved our excursion with our guide Ghada, who told us a lot about the history of the pyramids and ruins of the sites of Dahshour, Saqqarah and Memphis and was adorable, passionate about the History of Egypt and contact with visitors. It’s a very interesting day, which adds something to other visits to Cairo and Giza. Thank you very much to Ghada and our driver Mohamed!

Great tour with very knowledgeable guide - We were picked up from our hotel by our guide Mohamed Gomaa who was not only charming but also very knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptology. We travelled in a comfortable air conditioned van to Sakkara where we visited several pyramids including the Serapeum, Step Pyramid and Pyramid of Teti. We then went to Dahshur to see the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid. We then continued to the old capital of Memphis before being dropped off at our hotel. It was very hot and we did a lot of walking but thoroughly enjoyed the day. And Mohamed was amazing.
