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 :)

Witness the trial and error led to the Pyramids of Giza

By joining this tour, I was able to experience the trial and error of reaching the Great Pyramids of Giza. I chose the driver-only plan, and my driver, Mr. Abdullah, was very kind and humorous and we had a great time .He even helped me purchase my ticket at the rickety ticket office. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Not bad

The driver came on time but due to his personal commitment he rushed us through. We requested to drop off in a different location which he refused and dropped off midway. The car was not great as well. But you need a car to see the places.It is not bad but not the best you can get.

Our visit to Saqqara was completely transformed by our guide’s incredible depth of knowledge. Rather than just reciting dates, he brought the history of the Step Pyramid
