Great driver, great day, would do again

We chose the driver only option for this tour. Rashad, our driver, was on time, and very accommodating, in that we could choose the order of the places we visited. We were provided with a drink and a chocolate bar, which was nice. Rashad was a great driver and totally professional, and our tour went for the full eight hours. We enjoyed our day very much.

Review for the guider —- George

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

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

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.

Do not book. They're gonna leave you lying.

Mal. Not professional. We've had our booking cancelled. Not reliable. I recommend another operator. They're still selling rides.

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

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

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.

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

We had a nice driver who took us to Sakkara, Dahshur, and Memphis. It's highly recommended to get a car to avoid the heat. Thanks to Belal for showing us around!
