A fantastic intro to Egyptian pyramids w Mrwan! - Had a great day w Mrwan to Memphis, Saqqara and then we ended up added on Dahshur. What stunning vistas! Amazing being able to go into Dahshur. Mrwan was very informative, helpful and so enthusiastic of his Egyptian culture. Mrwan has good English. Pick up was prompt, vehicle was large and comfy and our driver was superb zipping thru the Cairo traffic. Even got an intro into Egyptian music on our drive home. Highly recommend!

The first pyramid - Mrwan did an excellent job. His knowledge of history helped us understand each site with background. He helped us through each ticketing process and knew the best way to see each site. We were very happy with his tour and I would recvomend him to others. Pete.

Just Amazing - Well, Ahmed & Hany both of them made us feel at home. They were so generous that we had a great time driving around the city. Ahmed, comes with so much knowledge and a very interesting way to explain the history of Egypt. We had a great time and it was one of the best days of our tour. I highly recommend it to all the tourists to pick Ahmed as their tour guide. #Ahmed - THE BEST TOUR GUIDE!

READ BEFORE BOOKING - DON'T RECOMMEND IT - I usually don't write bad reviews, but was I was harassed to write a good one, that I deleted afterwards, I think is important to leave this register. I had a bad very experience, first because, after one hour of delay, the guide I had told me wrong information about the sites: told me the Sphinx of Memphis is honoring Ramses II, what is not true, also told me Memphis was a faraoh and founder of the city, what is not correct and said Bes was a greek god, which isn't true. But the worst is he rushed me through the sites, I only could stay one our in Saqqara and only could see the exterior of the main pyramid, we didn't go anywhere near the others and when I tried to see a little more I was asked to "go faster, so we can leave faster": the time wasn't a problem before, and wasn't after when he tried me convice to go to a papyrus making site (another scam that I refused), but at the main reason for the tour we had to rush everything Of course there wasn't lunch at all. But to be fair they paid the difference. But the worst part, and the reason I decide to publish the review with all the details, is that in the end he brought me to a cafe to press me into rating him in front of him and send pictures of the rating to his boss. That's why I imagine part of the ratings here, that cites directly the same guide as I had and that seem very formal were the same situation of harassment. I don't recommend it at all. In general I had a great experiente in Egypt and the tours I had, expect this one. And I think the pratic of harassing reviews and taking pictures should be banned from this plataform
