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 great way to get your bearings in Cairo. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Shared lots of interesting information not just about the stuff on the tour but also about life in present day Egypt. Lunch was great but a bit rushed. Perhaps less time spent in Governmental controlled stores would help.

Khaled Lotfy and his driver were the best.South Sinai took excellent care of us and they arranged the camel rides and I learned more about world history on this trip than I did in college!!

Great tour. Saw a lot in one day! We were aware of going to the "carpet museum" or "paper museum" it's a sales scam, and a waste of time - just tell your guide you don't want to go.

Nana, our guide, was great, again fantastic knowledge of the subject. It's such an amazing sight, I am so glad we could we had a chance to see Sakkara and Memphis really gives you a deeper insight on the development from pyramids to the tombs in Luxor.

Tour could have been better if Viator makes sure that the local tour agency that they are working with are reliable and trustworthy. In our case we felt cheated by the tour GUIDE and to some extend by Viator.
Some highlights were,not showing Sphinx internally, walking away after a short explainations.Not showing entrance to Khafre and mentioned it was closed (while it was not). Tour without proper explanation from tour guide is not worthy as we pay a lot in international currency . This makes one feel cheated. What he did was arranged a camel ride and told us that we should pay him later which was thrice the normal price.We found that camel ride and ticket can be bought at ticket office together. We found out above after going once again to the Pyramids. He took us to the perfume factory which was not included in tour and we had to pay $80 for a very small bottle of perfume which was four time the cost. So the question is should one relay on tour guides!! or what Viator can do to improve service and avoid such guides as we had to go once again to see the pyramids. Managing on our own was more convinient and satisfactory. It was total waste of money in first instance. It was a private tour but we felt forced.
