Sakkara definetely deserves a visit. Beautiful itinerary. Our guide Franco and his driver were very polite and accomodating to our requests. They took good care of us. It was a beautiful day.
We had a great day with Bessem, our tour guide. He knows his stuff and his English is perfect! He is passionate about his job and his country and it shows through in his explanations of everything. He's also ready to answer any questions that come his way. Be sure to request Bessem on your next Egypt tour with this company!
