        It was an amazing trip. Our tour guides made everything easy and enjoyable for us. They arranged everything from where to eat the best food to where to drink the best coffee to how to take the best photo:)) It was very comfortable and pleasant for us.

        Would definitely recommend this tour! Great way to see the highlights on Cairo in a comfortable and enjoyable way. We arrived as the first people at Saqqara, which was an amazing experience in itself. Our tour guide Mina was brilliant as was our driver. Mina was very knowledgeable and spoke very clear English. We couldn't recommend this tour enough!

        Giza, Saqqara and Memphis with amazing guide Maged!
        The tour was really well planned. We started from Saqqara complex and continued to Memphis, to then finish with the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. Our guide Maged was super knowledgeable. He gave us a good introduction to Ancient Egypt. He helped us to skip all the hassling of sellers and he made us really enjoy our first day in the country. He also gave us some good tips that we followed for our visit to Luxor some days after. The restaurant where we had lunch was also super nice! Overall, very nice experience!

        Great day in Cairo with Rasha Yehia Mubarak!
        We had a brilliant tour today with Rasha Yehia Mubarak. She was knowledgeable, funny and passionate about her countries history! Always trying to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and felt comfortable. She even helped us retrieve our souvenirs after we forgot them in the tour van! Wonderful experience and would definitely recommend!!!

        Not as expected, dissapointed
        Our hotel was 200m from the entrance to the pyramids, but the driver picked us up at 8:15 to drive for over 40minutes to go pick up the guide “I don’t know where” and the drive back to the piramids we came from - what an incredible waste of time! She (the guide) barely spoke English or pretended to not understand our questions while spending her time on her phone, or while trying to push us to buy extra’s like camelrides or desert bike rides. She had a friendly character but was a poor guide, possibly more apt in Italian as that seemed to be her speciality. Driver was good but spoke little English. Food was good. Water and entries included in price as agreed. Next time we’ll try another service.

        GREAT TOUR (do your research before)
        I had a wonderful time during my tour with Hajar! They made an exception to pick me up from the airport and the driver waited patiently there even though my flight was delayed. We did the tour of Giza and Sphinx but they expressed concerns about being too late for Memphis and Saqqara as both close at 4pm (this was was around 2pm) and suggested the Museum. I did not have wifi so could not see that Saqqara was actually open 24/7. I would have loved to see the other 2 monuments but had a fine time at the Museum. I told Hajar I wanted to buy some oils and she was kind enough to take me to a shop she knew. She also took me to an art shop where they show you how Papyrus paper is made. We made a stop at a jewelry shop which was fine but unnecessary as I didn't express interest and it was quite overpriced. Overall, it was a very good tour and I felt comfortable having a personal driver and tour guide as a solo traveler. The only note I would make is do your research on the sites and have conviction about what you want to see in case they try to sway you.

      Fantastic place . Go during December as the weather will be good to you. Bring light jacket. If you want to enter the pyramids need to pay extra. Have good 👟.
