Fully recommended!!! HAGER - A wonderful experience. Hager has made hiring the tour 100% worthwhile. We have had the luxury of having it to ourselves and to be able to know, in addition to the places where we have been, a little more of the ancient and modern Egyptian culture.

Booked a car and driver due to language barriers. Meeting was tricky, but he was very kind. Our family loved it. - We were travelers from Japan. Since no one in our group except me could speak English, arranging interpretation would have been difficult, so we booked only a car and driver. As there was no guide, I studied the necessary information in advance and joined the tour.
We had a bit of trouble meeting the driver at the hotel at first, but he was very kind and trustworthy. Thanks to him, our entire family was extremely satisfied and we were able to enjoy a truly wonderful experience.

Well worth it. - Mohamed El Azmerly was an excellent tour guide and planned the whole day for us.
This itinerary is well worth it and you get to see and start with the first pyramids in the area.
Mohammad was extremely knowledgeable in history, culture and archaeology. He has a great background and education and answered every single question and told us great stories
Well worth it!!

Essential visit for... - Essential visit to understand the evolution of pyramids.
We need to get into Djezer's. And don't miss the colossal statue of Ramses II in Memphis.

Amazing booking agent and quality manager! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Very responsive booking agent. We booked lunch with the tour. There are two options and we chose the more expensive one. The guide accidentally took us to the wrong one. I followed up with the booking agent and got refunded for the difference without hassle (as well as refunded credit card fees). Rokaia and Shaimma were super professional and easy to deal with and they didn’t try to play any games. They are trustworthy and Would definitely book through them again.
Note that the tomb at Saqqara closes at 12. The program is set up for that to be the last stop, but if you like to take your time and ask a lot of questions you might want to make that your first stop so you aren’t running behind.

Well done! - Great tour with Samir and his driver. Samir contacted me the day before via WhatsApp to confirm the pick up time and location. I didn't want a long tour so I asked them to be back in town at about 1 pm, so you could plan something else in the afternoon/evening. Anyway they can stay with you for longer and Samir can give you all the info you want.

Excellent, insightful day trip. - Had a wonderful time on this day trip. Alber, my guide, was very knowledgeable of all the sites - I learnt a lot from him today! Alber and the driver were very helpful and patient, I really felt the tour was going at my pace and there was no sense of rush. Highly recommend this tour company, they have inspired me to return to Egypt in the future and I will most certainly be using them again 🤩
