🌟🌟🌟 Ask for Sarah 🌟🌟🌟
We had such a great experience with Sarah! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the pyramids, but what we loved most was how engaging and curious she was with us. She answered all of our questions thoughtfully and made the whole experience feel really personal and fun. She’s so bubbly, smart, and genuinely kind! Everything was on time and well organized. The car was comfortable, and our driver was also so nice- they even got us pastries and water, which was such a thoughtful touch. Would definitely recommend Sarah! She made our visit to the pyramids so much more memorable.

Do you want to smile?
Please choose Basem and you will always smile. The tour was great. Most of the day was in an air conditioned car and walking at the sites. Basem gave our tour in English and gave us a great understanding of everything we seen. Also the private tour allowed us to ask many questions. I was able to go all the way into the Bent Pyramid.

A stand out experience - highly recommended
Ready for an on time pick-up, Donia and her driver made sure we got to the pyramids nice & early. Donia gave us great context when we visited the Step, Bent & Red Pyramid. Make sure to ask for entry into the Step Pyramid at the start of the tour, as extra tickets need to be purchased on arrival. Going inside the bent period is a worthy challenge, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and it’s something we’ll always remember and are so glad we did it! We’ve now gone inside four pyramids - Bent, Red, Great and Second, and the Bent was by far the most challenging and rewarding!! This tour was a fabulous experience😃

Highly recommend - amazing day!
We booked this trip last-minute on a whim and weren't sure what to expect. It was amazing! A must-do if you have time. The bent pyramid was a once-in-a-lifetime experience but not for the faint of heart! Ahmed was an excellent guide and the entire day exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend.

A trip to Memphis
Reem is the best tour guide we’ve ever had in Egypt. She is very professional in Egyptology as well as everything in this ancient and modern country. Memphis is a wonderful place to visit if you want to evade the crowdedness and delve deep into Egypt.
