Profound and unforgettable experience
We were very fortunate to have the knowledgeable Egyptologist mister Yasser on two unforgettable private tours. We spread this tour over two days because we wanted to dive deep into the ancient knowledge and have more time on the archeological sites. Yasser was the perfect guide to do this with. He passionately and profoundly taught us so much about the ancient Egyptian civilization and ancient structures. He was able to answer all our questions, even those transcending academical science. He also brought us to fascinating places on the Giza plateau where most tourists don’t go to, and even gave us the ability to connect with it on a spiritual level. Besides that Yasser is a kind, polite and fun person to hang out with. Will definitely book him again to explore other archeological sites of mystical Egypt!
Response from the operator: Dear lovely customers Thank you for your amazing feedback about your intentensiv and profound experience of ancient Egyptian sacred sites. Your great experience with us will always give us positive energy and motivation to show our customers the real meaning, knowledge and wisdom of ancient Egypt. Looking forward to seeing you again and again. Kind regards Yasser Abdelghanni

Response from the operator: Dear customer Thank you very much for your honest review about your experience with us. It has been a pleasure to provide you with our exceptional guiding service by our top Egyptologist Mr Yasser. We are waiting for your future visits to Egypt.

Great Insights into Egyptian Culture and History
he tour with Jasser was perfect – he is very knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate every request. He shared a lot about Egyptian culture, including how to read some hieroglyphs, and took me to see some marvellous off-the-beaten-path sights.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Alessio Thank you for this wonderful feedback. We are really thrilled to know that you have enjoyed your tour, and the knowledge about ancient civilization you got by reading some of the ancient Egyptian language. It motivates us to work hard to satisfy our customers. See you soon again and again in Egypt. Kind regards Yasser Abdelghanni

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8-Hour Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does 8-Hour Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8-Hour Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Giza is not rushed.
Is 8-Hour Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8-Hour Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 8-Hour Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8-Hour Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Giza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8-Hour Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Giza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Giza?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Giza?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
