“Wonderful tour of pyramids at Giza, Saqqara and Dahshur - Wonderful day with Sayed Mahmud as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and really happy to adapt the tour at our request which was good. His recommendations were great and we particularly enjoyed visiting the tomb at Saqqara and going inside Teti’s pyramid there, where there were a lot less people. Also really enjoyed the pyramids at Dahshur, we were pretty much the only ones there. Thank you Sayed and Mustafa for driving us safely.” - Reviewed at 2025-04-01

“An excellent tour to the Dashur pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara complex - We had a very nice trip to Dashur, where we saw the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. Next we stopped at Memphis and saw the huge statue of Rameses II, and then we went to the Saqqara complex where we saw and went inside the pyramid of Teti and the tomb of Kagemni. The tomb has beautiful hieroglyphs and you can still see some of the red and black colours. Our guide, Sayed Mahmoud was very friendly and very patient with us, he gave us information about every tourist site and showed us all the most important details from the sites. We highly recommend our guide and the agency. Thank you for the excellent tour!” - Reviewed at 2025-03-04
