Jun 24, 2024The vacation was exceptionally stress-free and delightful because of the excellent transportation arrangements and the really experienced guide. Youssa, our tour guide, expertly narrated a captivating tale surrounding every place we saw, integrating it with other locations to provide us with a comprehensive understanding of Egyptian history. In addition to being accommodating with our day's schedules and packing a lot without pushing us, he also picked some very great, unusual spots for lunch. Saqqar needs a full day tour, i highly recomend that tour with Egypt Tours Club.

Jun 24, 2024Totally happy with our experience - a fabulous day. We booked the tour and as return visitors to Egypt we then contacted the company by email with a specific list of tombs & pyramids we wanted to see. They were prompt in replying and tailoring our day to the sites and timing we wanted. Our guide, Youssa was knowledgeable with excellent English, a sense of humour, and prepared to be flexible. Would recommend the tour whether you’re first time or return visitors to Egypt.

Jun 24, 2024Impressive to get inside Sakkara Pyramid. Our guide Jemmy was friendly and managed well our expectation, keeping time needed to have a complete view of site. I recommend to spend one day for this historical tour (Saqqara), even if it was already a long day. Thanks also to our driver who kept us safe during this tremendous journey. Thanks to Ali, who advised us to book this tour.
