Traveler reviews
Good experience.
Good tour for the available time. If you want to see all of Saqqara you would need a longer tour. It was possible to make a change to the itinerary at our request. We only had to pay the difference in ticket price. The guide, Alaa, did a great job. We thought it was lovely.
It was a great tour. Our...
It was a great tour. Our guide, Tigo, was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information for each site we visited.
Great time.
The guide, Mohammed, was very polite and informative. Our driver did a great job. I would let people know that the climb into the Red Pyramid was quite strenuous and not recommended for older customers unless they are quite fit. Also, it is not for the claustrophobic. Interesting but difficult. The towns give a good glimpse into everyday life of regular folks and provide an interesting contrast from the hustle and bustle of Cairo.
Today has been very fulfilling.
He gave me the right explanation for my destination. Time was smooth and we could act without waste. The hotel changed, so the location changed, but they had no problem. The driver was very polite and comfortable.
From Memphis to Memphis
This tour was an amazing walk through history. I am from Memphis, TN, USA, so going to Memphis, Egypt was absolutely surreal. Our tour guide Tonsi Tonsi was absolutely amazing again. He’s very knowledgeable, and patient with the children in our group. He’s our go to person for tours for ourselves and friends.
