Excellent tour with guide Hassan

This tour with guide Hassan was one of the best we did during our 3 day visit in Cairo having 5 tours in total. Hassan knows a lot about the history and even more about Saqqara, Dahschur and Memphis as he was working at the excavation site. He is also capable to explain in an easy to understand way. The whole trip was safe with experienced driver Mr Mustafa, the pilot. No unexpected stop at a shop no annoying follow-up to give a review of thetour. I would give even more stars if possible. Highly recommended!!!

We booked a car ride and it was better than expected. Hesham Zyzo was our driver and he was so genuine, kind and knowledgeable. He was on time and never made us hurry or wait. We were glad to spent time with him. He was so kind he bought us food and water. He also chatted with us in a cafe. Whoever met him in his life is lucky :)
