Saqqara Pyramids and Step Pyramid and Imhotep Museum Tour - We had a great time on this tour. The Hieroglyphics in the tombs were amazing to see. We were able to get some great photos in the tombs. Our tour guide Warwa did a great job of explaining the Egyptian history and hieroglyphics in the tombs. She also captured some great family photos for us. I also enjoyed visiting the Imhotep museum and learning more about Imhotep. I would highly recommend this tour and Warwa as a tour guide.

A useless waste of tome! - Terrible! Did he think we were just dumb tourists? He told us he didnt believe the earth was round, on a tour of Saqqara he ranted on about the Great Pyramid being a huge machine to generate energy and that’s how the heavy sarcophogii were moved. In the Serapeum if saqqara we were told no one had any idea if what the big sarcophogii were for and that nothing had ever been found in them and no one knew how they got there - but my previous reading indicated it was the cult of bulls and winches were found. He was a kook! I want my money back. $146 Canadian charged when reserving this trip, 2380 Egyptian pounds for entrances - most od which he pocketed! $20 US for the guide fee, $10 US for fuel surcharge that didnt make it to the driver AND $9 US we left for tip. I will never use your company again!!
