- Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - The journey continues to the Sakkara necropolis, home to the world’s oldest major stone structure. Your guide will share the history of the famous Step Pyramid, designed by the engineer Imhotep for King Djoser during the 3rd Dynasty (around 2630 BC).

Amazing day exploring Egypt with Mimmo - We had an amazing day with Mimmo. He took us around the Giza area to see the three pyramids and the Sphinx, then to the Dahshur area to explore the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid, followed by Memphis and Sakkara with the Step Pyramid and more. He even treated us to delicious falafel and shawarma along the way. Mimmo was so kind, bubbly, and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed learning about ancient Egypt with him and getting insight into both the ancient and modern culture. He is very funny, always smiling, and you can tell he is passionate and truly loves his job. He was also very open and honest with us, letting us make our own decisions and never pushing us into anything. The sites are absolutely amazing, and everyone should experience these ancient wonders with someone as genuine and enthusiastic as Mimmo.

Amazing day! - The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He did not rush us at any site. He made sure we had water and snacks. He even got us sugarcane juice! He took amazing photos of our family and we enjoyed the whole experience very much! It made our day very productive and fun as we got to see so many wonderful sites at our own pace. I would definitely recommend this experience!

You get what you pay after insisting???? - We have done 5 private tours in Egypt in this trip with different tour operators. All of them had contact with me from the evening before. In 2 cases they informed me for delay because of serious reasons. At this tour noone contacted and after half an hour waiting on the road outside of our hotel I sent them message. They told us to wait 1 hour more. We went back to reception. We lost 1 and half hour of our sleep and breakfast. When driver and guide came told us no Dahshur tour. I showed the guide the tour I have planned and paid and then he agreed to go. I had request different drop off at time of booking (something that was ok to other tour operators) and asked 30 euro extra in van??? They did so because I couldn't cancel and take my money back after starting the tour. After destroying our mood the tour operator accepted to drop off us where I had request. If he didn't do so he would get only 1 star. The rest after my pressure was ok as planned.
Our driver Mohamed Nabil was good and our guide Mohamed Samara explained perfectly everything.
Thanks them.
