I would like to thank our...

I would like to thank our guide Hoda and driver Mario for a great experience. The private tour was comfortable, and Hoda’s explanations were clear. The Saqqara Pyramids have a unique charm, different from Giza. A half-day tour is a great option if you’re short on time.

Great tour of Saqqara

We had a wonderful tour of Saqqara with Hoda. She was very knowledgeable and gave interesting info and was able to keep our children (age 6 and 10) engaged. It was much less busy than Giza and there was lots to see in the tombs. Highly recommended

Great experience
