Highly recommended A journey through history that is well worth experiencing. Our guide, Ekramy, explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. He gave us great tips on what to see and what wasn't strictly necessary. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour. We traveled with children (aged 8 and 10), and they had a great time too.

Giza, Saqqara and Memphis fantastic day We have had a brilliant day today on our tour. There was 4 of us , two couples and it was just us, felt like a private tour but we have booked a group tour . Our guide Rania was so knowledgeable and was just perfect. Our driver Roma was great , how he gets through the Cairo, Giza traffic is amazing. They kept us constantly supplied with water. We saw the Giza pyramids which was a long term desire for us all and then went onto Saqqara and then Memphis. Nothing was rushed and was a brilliant day. Rania was exceptional and if you can request her definitely you won’t be disappointed. It was Oceans Travel. Thank you again Rania and Roma from the sisters and the Colin’s .

Perfect Introduction to Ancient Egypt Excellent full-day tour with a very good balance between the major highlights around Cairo. The pyramids and the Sphinx were impressive of course, but Saqqara was actually my personal highlight — fascinating and much less crowded. Our guide, Mostafa Yones, was excellent. He explained a lot about the history and adapted the day flexibly to the wishes and interests of the guests. I also really appreciated that there were no forced shopping stops, unlike on many other tours. One small note: the buffet lunch did not really appeal to us, but after asking, ordering à la carte was possible without any problem. Overall, highly recommended.

An awesome sight that has lasted through the ages! Tripadvisor review: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara and Memphis Full-Day Cairo Tour What an absolutely awesome, mind blowing sight the great Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza are. This visit was long overdue on our bucket list of places to visit. That's another great wonder of the world visited and truly experienced! This has to be seen to be believed. The sheer magic in not only the architecture but the engineering, human resourcefulness and sheer effort all those thousands of years ago that went into producing such monuments that have stayed the rest of time is simply awesome. A great visit, with brilliant organisational skills deployed by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism. Just FABULOUS!
