Cairo Ancient Sites Half-Day Tour

A very disappointing experience, mainly due to the guide's attitude. Due to a misunderstanding on our part, we asked him if it was appropriate to pay an additional €15 for the service in Spanish for the two of us. He confirmed to us that it was, and we paid him. Later we discovered that this additional charge did not apply to our excursion. The worst part happened in Memphis. The guide took us to a place that he himself assured us was "trustworthy." Before buying, we expressly asked him if the price was right and he told us yes. We ended up paying 40 USD for two small pyramids that we later discovered cost less than 2 USD. Of course we take responsibility for our part for having trusted and not having checked the price, but one comes to Egypt and hires a guide precisely to avoid these types of situations, not to end up experiencing them at the hands of the guide himself. We even left him a tip at the end of the excursion, because at that moment we believed he had been honest with us. Finding out after all this made the experience even more unpleasant. Furthermore, on a historical level, the explanations could have been much better. The day before, we had taken another excursion with an excellent guide, who not only explained things very well but was also attentive to us and took care of us throughout the entire tour, so the difference was very evident. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this excursion.

Did the driver and audio tour. I texted them about there being no audio. They sent a link to a website to find and listen to guides for the places. Was too confusing to find the right guides for the places I was going to. Just walked around no audio guide. Would not recommend company. Driver was nice, but wanted to take me to bazars and carpet sellers. Probably in cahoots with dealers (like many) to get a percentage of what you may spend.

Very nice trip to Sakkara, Dahschur and Memphis. Our guide told us very interesting things about the pyramids and had an answer for every question.

For the price it is very good. We chose a driver and audio guide. No commercial stops. The driver asks but you say no and he continues on his way, he does not insist. Very kind and helpful. We visited Saqqara, saw the general area and the Serapeum, in Dahshur the Red Pyramid, going inside, and the Bent Pyramid from afar. In Memphis we saw the Ramses II complex. Everything without rushing. But the air conditioning only at the end and there was no water. Anyway, highly recommended.

A magnificent experience. Saw the pyramids in Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis.. Very hot. Our guide was wonderful and so was the driver. Highly recommended.
