Awesome half day trip - Ehab was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went. The tour was perfect for a half day, and since we went in the off season none of the sites were crowded at all. Our driver, Ahmed, got us everywhere safely and efficiently.

Excellent friendly driver - The driver was there on time Hani was very friendly and a good careful driver. Added some visits for us like the carpet school and a guide in Memphis that had an alabaster shop. He also volunteered to take us to a essences and spice shop

A day trip with the pyramids - A well organised trip to see pyramids and tombs in Sakkara and Dahshur and the open air museum in Memphis. Ahmed our tour guide is a real expert in Egyptian history and culture and gave us just enough information to get a good understanding about what we have seen and answered all our questions. It was a very nice first day for us to start our adventures in Egypt.

Just did driver no tour guide - read review - Our driver was super late which meant we had to rush through pretty much every stop and didn’t get to spend as much time at them as we would have liked. Since all of the sights close at 5 and stop allowing entry at 4:30. To be fair, we did book it last minute but i believe if they couldn’t accommodate a last minute booking it shouldn’t be an option. It seemed like the only reason they sent a driver is because I called and texted on what’s app. Otherwise we would have just been waiting around to hear from someone! We obviously didn’t have expectations of getting any explanations since we only got the driver (wanted to be at our own pace since are studying Egyptology) but he still gave us little tid bits about the area which was nice. Our driver was super nice. Got us everywhere safely. Hard for me to give a solid rec for this tour group since I didn’t really use the service, but I did love the lunch they took us to and he made sure we had water and a small snack while running around pyramids, etc. We are a ‘black’ American couple and felt safe and welcome Keep in mind you need to pay for your driver to sit at the locations and wait for you. Not much but just know it’s an added cost (20 egp each stop, roughly)
