Great private tour - Fantastic service, we were picked up by a guide and a driver, both very friendly! We had a great private experience with all the history explained very well! The pyramids were great and they are much less a tourist selfie hot spot like the giza pyramids. Lunch was at a really nice restaurant! Very happy!

The magnificent first Pyramids provide a less crowded but more intimate emersion into pyramid structure. - A variety of pyramids from the step to the bent and Red Pyramid, the model for Khufu is less crowded and offers the same insight into these majestic man-made structures. The guide was excellent and planned everything allowing us time to enter the Red Pyramid which is easier to get into crowd wise and has a similar architecture to Khufu. The step Pyramid, d'Ouserkaf, the Bent Pyramid and the other pyramids which can be seen such as the Black and Sekhmenhet were enjoyed as was the ancient capital remains of Memphis, Our tour was topped off with an excellent lunch of local cuisine. Allowing us time to walk around the pyramids helps to immerse you in the grandeur and power they provide

A wonderful experience. An excellent guide. - Hammad was an excellent tour guide and a pleasure to meet. He was early for our pick up and provided an excellent vehicle and driver. I love Egyptology and I have been studying it for years… But I learned several new things from Hammad. He also allowed us to make slight modifications to our itinerary to better suit our needs. I would highly recommend this tour guide.
