The guide was very helpful in arranging tours and sorting out various logistics issues. Good explanations of the Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara.
Would definitely recommend visit the attractions with a knowledgeable guide in Cairo.

Sakkara is an amazing place, the very first pyramid built in Egypt. We loved the place, and the trip. Memphis was also interesting. However, our guide didn't seem to know all that much (our 9 year old, who was obsessed with Egypt, had told us everything our guide told us), and wasn't all that helpful. I imagine it depends on the guide how good a tour you get. Some guides are probably heaps better.

Pros: Personal transportation all day, tour guide, visits to all major sites.
Cons: Guides bring you to "government controlled stores" (that are scams) without your consent, tour guides have poor english and do not communicate well outside of scripted explanations.

We really enjoyed this trip. Hannan was our tour guide for this tour. She was very knowledgable about everything we asked about. Our only complaint was not too big of a deal but there needed to be more access to stopping at a bathroom.

Remon, our manager from South Sinai Travel, looked after us very professionally, while our female guide, Hanan, was excellent, charming and knowledgeable, with remarkably good English. A great day out!

Our tour this past Saturday on the 9th of July 2011, did hit the hot spots as advertised and the narrating Egyptian guide was nice (although we felt He was not an Egyptologist - during small talk throughout the 5.5 hour tour, which included the time to stop and eat lunch, he seemed to avoid answering any personal questions about himself or background with this tour that we asked). A lot of the trip's information about the sites on the tour seemed very canned and scripted. We did however have the use of an air-conditioned (with driver) van to tote us around which helped tremendously in the 40C+!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. I realized that all my tickets were student tickets though which are cheaper than regular adult tickets, so i feel that the company should offer a student package at a discounted price.

Generally OK. Memphis was not so interesting. It took a little bit time to reach lunch restaurant as the driver did not know the way. Both the driver and tour guide were very polite and kind, we could spend good time.

A must do tour. It was well organised and again our guide Henry was most informative. Sakkara and Memphis are well worth a visit. The tour takes one out into the Delta countryside which is a pleasant contrast to the busy chaos of Cairo.
