Amazing tour in Saqqara with Toba

I had an incredible day with Toba on the Sakkara tour! He takes the time to explain every detail, ensuring that you fully understand the context and history of Egypt. He is attentive, a great listener, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone—100% satisfied!

Almost perfect

Great guide and cool driver with a nice car. They are very flexible and kind. I went to Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. As far as I checked, I couldn't find any other tour which go all these places in one day at this price. Only one small request from me is that a guide should be able to take nice photos in this era! So please study the techniques to take impressive photos or find great places. but she tried to take a lot of photos so I really appreciate it!

Tonsi is a great guide!

Tonsi Tonsi was a fantastic guide! The car was nice and he told me the history and helped me navigate Cairo. Communicated well on WhatsApp, great English, and added/skipped portions as I liked. Lunch was great, and the papyrus shop was really cool, too! Highly recumbent to message them and book online!

Ideal round trip of the big archeological sites near the city

Lots of information and a very relaxed pace from Tonsi our guide, who takes trouble to understand what clients want from the trip. Excellent driving and a very comfortable, large van. All round, exactly what you need for a day out with the Pharaohs.
