Perfect way to see these sights

Assunta_k, Mar 2026
We had a fantastic experience on this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo. Our guide, Aladdin, and our driver, Mohamed, made the entire day smooth, enjoyable, and very well organised from start to finish. Aladdin was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history and explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great day and got the most out of the experience. He also turned out to be a brilliant photographer, helping us capture some great photos — and even a few hilarious ones — which made the experience even more memorable. The tour itself was very well structured. One thing we particularly appreciated was how the itinerary was organised to avoid the worst of the crowds, which made a huge difference when visiting iconic places like the Giza pyramids and Saqqara. Having a private guide also meant we could move at a comfortable pace and ask plenty of questions. Overall, a fantastic tour with a great team — highly recommended if you want to explore these incredible sites in a relaxed and well-organised way.

Irresponsible Company Management and no apology for their mistakes

Ernest_L, Jan 2026
We booked Giza pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara but they told tour guide to go to Memphis, saqqara Dahshur, and carpet school for expensive shopping (not in our itinerary). Beginning our lunch, we asked when to go to Giza pyramids. Then we found out they arranged the wrong tour. They offered two options to us. 1- we can book the pyramids tour again and they will give you special price + a free tour about happened like 1 hour felucca ride or 1 hour quad bike in the desert after you finish the pyramids 2- our hotel is near from the grand egyptian Museum. We can book a tour with us to the grand egyptian museum and make 20 % discount for us. Told them both options didn’t fit our need and Giza pyramid and Grand Egyptian museum, also their prices for those options were not good at all to us. Then they didn’t consider our needs and made an offer, and their attitude was “Take it or

Great tour

We took a guided tour with Mohammad. He was excellent. Would recommend you request a tour with him. We only needed about 6 hours to cover everything, including the shops.

Fabulous days visit

Gavin_C, May 2023
Really knowledgeable tour guide, excellent attention to detail and made me feel really welcome. A great day out. Highly recommended.

Convenient travel, nice guy, but not for a history enthusiast

Kevin_R, May 2023
We were able to do the trip as we pleased, starting at Saqqara and then proceeding to Giza. We did it this way because we read online a main hall closed at 12pm there. We didn't know that the Giza Kufu Pyramid entrance closed at 12pm, until 1 pm, but luckily that was no issue for us we had decided not to go inside. The tour guide thankfully told us that we must buy the tickets for the main Pyramid along with several admission at the gate before entering. We didn't know though that the same applied for both the smaller Pyramids, so we feel we missed out there. At Saqqara, we saw the Pyramid of Djoser, but didn't get to go inside. I later read that it was a possibility, so we feel we really missed out there too. We booked a tour so we didn't need to do too much research but as the tour is fast paced and you won't get to see the important parts, unless asking to, we feel it didn't suit the purpose. He was good at organising a camel and recommending the stores etc though. He was a nice guy, trying to make a living, if he studied more and advised on entering Djoser etc he would be recommendable. A few days later, I paid 500 at the entry of Karnak and the guide there gave me 1.5 hours of extremely in-depth Egyptology. We barely entered the temple within that time. That made us realise that there are really are levels to this game.

Great experience!

Our guide Nahed was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us plenty of advice for the continuation of our trip in Egypt. I would highly recommend this trip with her.

More time needed at places

Preeti_D, Apr 2023
Our guide was more focused on taking us to factories for selling cheaper Papyrus paintings, perfume and cotton for expensive. We barely got 30 mins at Giza Pyramids and I was so disappointed, so when we reached Sphinx, I had to tell the Guide to slow down. Less selling and more history would have been nice. We travel thousands of miles and spent so much for the place not for cheap perfumes

Definitely go with this guide and driver

krishna_k, Mar 2023
Thanks to the guide and driver, they both are fun people. Guide is very welcoming and relaxed, he is very cool so we get to do things in our pace. We enjoyed learning from him. He explained lot of things. They played very nice Arabic music, we had fun listening to that. Overall we had fun and relaxing experience. I hired lot of drivers and guides during but this driver and guide are the best I would say.

Ioanna_T, May 2022
A unique experience for anyone who is intrested in art,archeology and ancient civilisation. Our driver and guide were really helpful and kind.we highly recommend the tour

It was a trip of a lifetime!

Albert_O, Oct 2021
Ahmed was so attentive and we have made a lifelong friend in Cairo. He was very informative, funny and courteous. He went out of his way to make us feel at home and, thanks to him, I don;t think it could have gone any better. This is a great tour to learn and see about Egypt. This is the tour you need to take. Hopefully, you will get Ahmed.

Fantastic experience...

ChiaraPaola_P, Jan 2026

Il tuor è organizzato bene, in giornata riesci a visitare Saqqara Memphis e Giza. La nostra guida Gabri parlava italiano ed è stato molto bravo e simpatico

Excelente experiencia

OLIMPIA_L, Jan 2024
Recomiendo calurosamente el tour privado, ya que permite visitar las pirámides de Giza y Saqqara y la ciudad de Memphis sin prisa y al ritmo que uno desea. Nuestra guía en español fue muy atenta y competente. Pasó a recogernos a nuestro hotel puntualmente, y no nos apuró en ningún momento.

Excursion Prenium très complète
