Great Tour that includes pyramids, camel ride and a quad bike tour. - If you’re looking for a day packed with history and pyramids this is the tour. I learned so much about the pyramids in Giza, Memphis and Sakkara. The best part was being able to go into a pyramid and touching ancient hieroglyphs. It was absolutely amazing. My guide Mona is well versed in the history of new and old Egypt as well as upper and lower Egypt. The bonus was visiting and learning about the Papyrus. The quad bike ride was a bonus!

Great day visiting pyramids and Memphis - From the beginning of our tour Hader was quite kind to us explaining in detail about the history of each of the sites visited. We had many questions and she answered each of them. The way of explaining that she has is very creative so she kept our attention to every moment. Along the way she made introductions to places and is a very good photographer. We also want to highlight the friendliness and good treatment of the Eslam driver.

An amazing day out in Cairo - Jampacked amazing day!! Our guide Mostafa (Mostafa X Balo) was so friendly from the start and knowledgeable. He not only took us around the sights but showed us some elements of the culture and a little time for shops. He made sure to keep us informed and looked out for us in the really touristy spots. An absolutely amazing day and one we will not forget!

Rich day in Egyptian history with very helpful Guide. Five stars! - We spent a great day in the company of our lovely Guide Dina, who was always very helpful in sharing with us deep knowledge about Egyptian culture. From the most famous pyramids in the world to the oldest ones, Dina has enabled us a very enriching experience, which will be kept in our hearts during this adventure through Egypt. One of the most positive points was the experience of walking through the tunnels and chambers of the less known but equally impressive pyramids – and, above all, without crowds. I also leave a word of thanks to the driver, always very cautious to drive between the various Attractions. It will ⁇ be an option to choose for a desired return to this beautiful country. Thank you!
