Dahshur, Memphis, Sakkara Private Tour - We began our journey with Sun Pyramid Tours through booking a hotel room at Great Pyramid Inn. Ahmed Atef was our contact throughout the process, helping us book our amazing room (we had a balcony and woke up/went to bed with Giza pyramids right in view). When it came to tours, we were interested in a guide and driver to go see Sakkara. Ahmed assisted in booking the tour for us. The tour was incredible. A driver and guide (Mary) picked us up from hotel and we made the journey to Dahshur (Red/Bent pyramids - the ascent/descent into both pyramids was more strenuous than the Khufu pyramid at Giza. Red pyramid is doable [my 62 year old mother was able to donit] while Bent pyramid is very tough [it is tight, narrow, and will leave you sweating/breathless]). From Dahshur we saw Memphis museum and colossal statue of Ramses the Great. Finally we hit Sakkara and listened to the history of the first pyramid. It is extra to go into this pyramid, so we marveled from the outside. We were able to go into Teti Pyramid and Tomb of Kagemni. After tours we traveled back to Giza and had lunch (open buffet) and stopped at a few shops. We are not big shoppers (would rather spend our money seeing sites!) but did grab a few small papyrus rolls ($20 USD). All in all, this experience was great! Ahmed had incredible response time for any questions I had when planning/booking this trip. Mary was knowledgeable and never rushed us as we took in the sites. (Not all guides are so courteous) This was a truly private tour, just my mother and I for $105 USD/person. Price included access to all sites/museums, lunch, and travel costs. We did Cairo museums, Giza pyramids, Abu Simbel, Alexandria all without guides/private transport, so the price for this tour felt fine as a one off trip cost.

To do absolutely - Great combo when we've been to Giza before. The sights of Saqqarah and Dahchour are a must-see, the descent into the pyramids a unique experience (included in the ticket). Our guide Hany Magdy is great: kind, passionate, erudite, we greatly appreciated his comments.

Amazing experience. - Loved everything about our tour. Didn’t think my kids will have such a good time but they’re still raving about it. And I think we enjoyed our tour as much especially because of our tour guide. Kadria was amazing. She treated us like family and made the whole day so fun for us all. Would definitely recommend going on this tour and do ask for Kadria. The whole tour was very well organized. They took us to few different sites and different experiences.

Dazzling excursion in every respect - Excellent excursion, we had our Francophone Guide Hoda who picked us up at our Inn for an 8h excursion. Hoda is a real mine of information, passionate, she has a degree in art history, she knew how to adapt to our configuration, 2 young children and our fatigue because we made this excursion after our 2 weeks of vacation. Thanks to Hoda who knew how to transmit his passion, we will come back to discover even more ancient Egypt with more bases now.

Sakkara, Memphis und Daschur - I was very pleased to have the German-speaking guide and driver from yesterday's tour today too. The first stop was a pharmacy, the second a fruit seller. Tablets and bananas for diarrhea. It helped and I'm glad I did the tour after all. We also visited things that weren't on the route. The tour was again informative and interesting. Mohamed was simply brilliant. If you want a German-speaking tour guide, it's him.

Sakarra tour - the knowledge base of the guide was excellent. The tour and food were great. there was so much history. it is hard to absorb it all.

What a Great Time ! - I had a wonderful time with the guide SAMIH and the driver RAMY. Really kind and always ready to help you. They also were really friendly, funmy and provided great explanations during the visit ! Highly recommand ! May we meet again guys :)

Fantastic - We visited Saqqara as part of a day tour along with visiting the Pyramids of Giza, Dahshur and the open air museum in Memphis. This simply cannot be missed. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is nothing spectacular as compared to the Pyramids of Giza, true, but would you not want to have a look at the first known structure built by humans? The open air museum that houses the colossal statue of Ramesses II is, ImHO, a must-do. It's an easy trip from Giza, about 40 min drive and doesn't take more than 30 min (you can of course, spend more time looking at the other exhibits outside). The structure is in ruins - a standing statue of Ramesses II, broken at the thighs owing to a fall during an earthquake. It fell on it's left side, completely damaging it but thankfully most of the remaining figure is in great condition.. The face is sculpted so beautifully, you just want to keep looking at it. All made from a single piece of rock! We did not visit the Bent Pyramid up close but only saw it from a distance. The odd-shaped pyramid still has the outside smooth limestone casing which is missing from the Pyramids of Giza. We took the opportunity to visit the inside of the red pyramid and it was a real adventure. This activity is not recommended for claustrophobic people and people who are not comfortable with walking in tiny spaces scrunched up to a third of their height.We were in and out in about 20 min but it is an experience that I'd recommend. How many times do we get to go inside a structure built 3500 years ago? We visited these places as a part of a day trip with Sun Pyramids, alongwith visiting the Pyramids of Giza. It's a very easy tour to do in a day, if you can start a bit early to the Pyramids. The above mentioned sites are just a hour's drive away from Giza, but totally recommended for a visit.

Great tour to visit pyramids and sights - Great tour to visit pyramids and sights. Well experienced guide Mustafa and driver Ahmed made our day a very good and comfortable experience. Thanks!
