Unfortunately, we had a tour guide who couldn't put two sentences together in English. He also didn't have any knowledge of the history or architecture of the Egyptian Pyramids, history of Egypt, ancient Egyptian art, mythology or anything else related to the tour. He didn't understand our questions either. He is nice and kind, but we had some expectations when we booked a special private tour. The vehicle wasn't air-conditioned, it was an old car. They dropped us off 3 blocks from our hotel, so we had to walk. The only highlight was a good quality lunch in a clean restaurant Egypt Gates with a clean bathroom. I would STAY AWAY from ANCIENT EGYPT TOURS operator. Stay away!
The driver’s driving skill was amazing. We went to the spots written on the itinerary smoothly. Sakkara’s tombs were very large, and the driver stopped by the neatest parking lot at each main spot. It made it easier for us to look around. He always cared about us. 運転手がほぼ時間通りにホテルに来て、スムーズに各スポットを回ってくれた。お互いそこまで英語が得意ではなかったようで、話が弾むことはないものの、必要なことはスムーズに会話できた。親切で安心できるドライバーだった。なんやかんでほぼ1日ツアーだったが、嫌な顔せずに案内してくれた。
The extensive detailed knowledge of the guide, friendliness of the driver and going to very quite pyramids with no access to large tour buses
A really great experience with an excellent guide. Our guide Hazem arrived early at our hotel. He spoke excellent english and was very informative. We toured several sites and even watched as they were excavating a new site. Hazem made the tour such a great experince that my family will definity return. I highley recommend Hazem and suggest asking for him specifically. You will not be disappointed in this tour it exceeded all of our expectations.

Really brilliant and informative tour. Recommend the combo ticket option for Saqqara as the guide really knows his stuff and what you see beyond the pyramid is incredible! Start early if you don't want to fall fowl of 4pm closing times!
Thank you for your trust in Ancient Egypt Tours
What a great tour!! Our guide Walid was so knowledgeable of all the many sites we went to!! He and our driver was such a huge help to us navigating the city and making sure we didn't miss a thing. This tour should be a must do for anyone coming to Egypt, we set on the side of the bent pyramid and had tea. These sites are every bit as spectacular as the Giza pyramids and there isnt a better tour provider offering it!! Highly recommend!!
With Covid, no one's there so it was a private tour of a incredible place. Memorable & a great guide
