Review for the guider —- George

Allan_W, Mar 2026

Unfortunately I don’t think that our guider George did a good job. During the tour he was consistently working on his cell phone. Not only almost no time to talk about the trip in the car on the way, but even at the destination spots, most time he only gave us very limited information than ask us to visit the places ourself while we saw a lot of guiders were with their tourists and explain a lot in the spots, for example, in Memphis. We feel very disappointed.

Great time

Madhu_J, Dec 2025

George was a wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable. Vans can be a little better since the drive was long and the seats we not the most comfortable. But seamless experience, the guide was not out for tips and gave us a wonderful experience!

Self tour with family

Juhana_K, Dec 2025

Excellent way to visit Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara pyramids. Priori knowledge of the sites makes the experience much more valuablr. All went well with our driver.

The good: My driver was...

Jared_F, Mar 2025

The good: My driver was very personable, flexible, and safe. To Improve: I found communication from the tour company about includes/excludes confusing, and not all of the includes listed on the voucher were provided. Also, I couldn't get in touch with the tour company until the morning of my tour.

Reliable Day Tour in Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur

Anika_G, Jan 2025

Mr Hamdy provided excellent service for our day trip. He was punctual, polite, and engaged in good conversation throughout the journey. He was flexible with our itinerary for the day visiting Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur, and we were accommodated for our hotel changeover - collecting us from our Giza hotel after checkout and later dropping us at our new hotel in Zamalek. We felt comfortable leaving our luggage in the car for the day (note: security required luggage to be briefly removed when entering the Saqqara site). Having the car for the full day meant we could explore all the pyramids at our own pace. Travel tip: For lunch, we recommend Blue Lotus restaurant, just 5 minutes from the Saqqara complex, which serves fresh, local Egyptian food, with a daily changing buffet menu, and is very affordable.

Good Well Organised Tour

Michael_G, Dec 2024

Well organised tour with friendly experienced guide and driver, on time and attentive. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in ancient history. Makes you realise there is so much more to Pyramids than those at Giza.

It was good and we learned a lot from the guide.

Hiro_T, Dec 2024

We went on a private day tour to the Sakkara Pyramids & Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids. It was such a unique experience, one of seven wonders of the ancient world.

Good driver

Tallulah_A, Oct 2024

Belal, our driver, is great and took us to Sakkara, Dahshur, and Memphis. We stopped by shops for some snacks and drinks.

You can take any other driver it will be the same

Catherine_M, Oct 2023

The driver was OK. But we dont know why we had to pay all the entries because it was "included".... So you can take any other driver, it will be the same.

A faire !!!

Nine_T, Apr 2025

Chauffeur et guide ponctuelle, vu la distance des sites c’était pour nous la solution plus facile. Bien organisé c’est le guide qui s’occupait des billets d’entrée, on a pu voir les trois sites explications intéressantes de la part du guide francophone. Nous recommandons vivement cette excursion, étant une grande passionnée d’histoire j’étais très satisfaite.
