Unforgettable experience - Between an incredibly knowledgable guide and getting to go inside the pyramids it is something I will never forget.

Splendid experience! Guide Michael was excellent! - Going inside the red pyramid was an incredible and memorable adventure though it was very tiring and required much stamina Saqquara was amazing!!! It is a huge site!!

Highlight of our Egyptian trip - This was by far the standout day tour of our Egyptian trip. Our guide Hossam was the perfect guide: extremely knowledgeable, gave us as much time as required, did not rush, ensured that nothing we had asked for was missed, and best of all did not pressure us to waste time 'shopping' for souvenirs, thus maximising the amount of time sightseeing instead, so much so that our tour actually lasted longer than originally planned. In terms of the tour itself, the Bent, Red, Step Pyramids were great but the interior of the Pyramid of Unas and the Mastaba of Mereruka with the original colourful hieroglyphics, and Serapeum should definitely not be missed. Lunch was also amazing. All in all, the highlight of our tour of Egypt and a big thank you to our guide Hossam for making our day extra special.

Best Cairo Day Tour - I rarely write this much about a review but this one was just different. Most of the Trip Advisor and Viator tours are really good don’t get me wrong. BUT this one was just EXCEPTIONAL. We were greeted by our tour guide, Ahmed Tonsi and Farg at 8AM on the dot. They had drinks and snacks ready for us in the car. We also found out it was just going to be us on this tour and loved the private tour experience. We made several stops at Saqqara, Dahshur, Memphis, Bent, and Red. Ahmed was very knowledgeable about everything as was basically a walking google the entire time. He even stopped to get us some local dates which we absolutely loved! He brought us to parts that we never knew was possible to see and made our trip to Egypt so much more authentic. Also, he has a great sense of taste in Egyptian rap music! That was definitely a bonus. After the tour, Ahmed Tonsi and Farg stayed with us for two additional hours and took us through several stops. We stopped at a traditional papyrus making store, an Egyptian cotton shop, a perfume store that exported oils to the major Paris fashion houses (like the Dior and Chanel) of the world, and a kartush shop. We really appreciated them taking the time because as tourists, sometimes we don’t really know what’s authentic or not. But Ahmed and Farg went out of their way and gave us an extra two hours just so we can check off some of the items off our gift list. First off if you’re in Egypt, do not skip the Saqqara and Dashur pyramids. It’s much more authentic and it was actually the original pyramids before the well know great Giza pyramids. Most importantly, do not do this tour without Ahmed Tonsi and Farg! Thank you again for making the best thing we’ve done this trip!

Ask for Ehab! - My tour guide Ehab Hoba and my driver Adel Mana were super! So friendly and knowledgeable about not only the touristy areas but also hidden gems that are so worth it.

A must see with a great tour guide - Noha the tour guide was great. Knowledgeable and funny. Attentive to needs of our family inc 8mth old baby. Tour snd sites are amazing and well worth seeing. If claustrophobic don't head inside the pyramids but do still go as the site has lots more to see. Lunch was great too. All in all a great day. Only comment. Water needed on van. It was some hours before we got water which was supposed to be included. Ramadan meant some shops shut which may have been the reason

Poor English, many tourist traps - The guide's English was very difficult to understand. Every time I talked or asked a question, he replied "yaya", which usually meant he didn't understand or didn't pay attention. He also pushed a lot for me to spend money in tourist traps (rug shop, spice shop, souvenir shop, etc.), which he called government-certified "museums", and was visibly disappointed when I didn't buy anything. It's obvious that he is getting a generous commission on sales and doesn't have your best interest in mind. He also tried to bring me to a "traditional" restaurant which cost 20usd for a lunch (way more than what a typical Egyptian lunch costs). The destinations themselves were very interesting and the guide seemed knowledgeable, albeit it was difficult to follow due to his poor English.

Disappointing experience!! - We took a private guided tour (2 persons) to Giza and Dahshur pyramids as well as the Sakkara archeological site. We were looking forward on an exciting experience with an egyptiologist after reading the previous reviews. Our guide Mahmoud was very friendly, flexible and took some nice pictures of us...The information provided, though,,on the archeological sites was of poor quality as well as our guides english! We would have a much more valuable experience if we had chosed to arrange the visit by ourselves with a taxi driver and our book guide as information source!
