We wnt to Dahahur, Sakkara, and Memphis. I have to say that the experience was superb because of our guide, George. He was so knowledgeable and made the stories and facts so interesting. It was a wonderful experience. The pyramids are beautiful and fascinating but it's how one tells the stories that make or break the trip. And George was definitely worth it. Unlike other tour guides, George was only into telling the stories and least concerned about tips. A very big thing in Egypt!
This activity is a driving service, not guided. But I enjoyed it very much because I like to explore on my own. There is some information on the spot ou online audio guides if you are interested. This is a very good priced service for what I have found around. And it takes you to all the spots you need. I enjoyed more the experience in the interior of all other pyramids, like the red or stepped one, when compared to Giza. But Giza complex is a must do of course. A wonder.
George was an archaeologist who did a nice job explaining things for me & my granddaughter. It was a very long day but with the driver we covered a lot of territory.
Walid was a fantastic guide. Very personable and kind and extremely knowledgeable. Exploring the pyramids was an amazing experience!
Thank you

It was amazing to see all the sights! Our guide Walid was incredibly knowledgable in the history of Egypt and shared so much with us. We did the camel tour at the pyramids and that was a very new experience! Time got away from us and we didn't see the Sphinx up close that day though. Our driver, Ahmed, was great!

The tour to the pyramids was in general nice. I liked the place, so visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx was very fascinating. My Guide took me to the entrance and we went inside. There he brought me to a guide for camel riding which offered me the ride for insane prices. I asked if there is no other chance to explore the area but the Guide told me that the area is to big for walking. I've got the impression that the Guide was working together with the camel guy to earn as much money as they could. For a "discount" they forced me to go on the tour, which was nice but not worth the money for the ride. In the end there was the feeling left that they cheated on me.
Thank you for your trust in Ancient Egypt Tours
