our guide Mamdouh Ismail was excellent.
We made the most of this private tour, we were very efficient and avoided crowds.
His explanations were adequate and allowed us time to explore on our own.
HIghly recommended.

I had been to Egypt once before forty years ago, and in January 2022 had completed a Tauck tour of Egypt. I scheduled a private tour to return to Sakkara to photograph the interiors of the numerous mastabas, which I did with my guide. We also visited Memphis to photograph some of the objects in the outdoor area.
The guide arrived on time in a clean, air conditioned automobile. He spoke excellent English, was college graduate and licensed guide. The was very knowledgeable and made the visit as efficient as possible. He understood exactly what I wanted to accomplish. He had suggestions to add to what I had scheduled and seemed happy with the additions, as was I.
Were I to return to Egypt again, this company is who I would contact!
