Tour locations were great except the store stops
Seeing the pyramids was amazing! The tour experience was average though. Would prefer it the communication with the operator or the activity plan was clearer. The saqqara was great, but entering Dashur pyramid wasn’t worth it, even if it’s free. Also, stopping by every stores for shopping pitfalls were a waste of time. We didn’t really need to stop by the alabaster store, for example. Also, the carriage ride to the pyramid viewpoint wasn’t included in the tour.

Made my mom’s dreams come true
My mom had it on her bucket list for years to see the pyramids in Egypt. She loved this tour. She was very happy the whole time and our duo of Mirna and Muhammad (tour guide and driver) were great. They were very polite and kind. They both have good hearts and Mirna isn’t afraid to tell the vendors when they are wrong. It was a full day tour and had great variety. As for the locations I would give a huge warning that if you aren’t an active person or have asthma or heart issues, I wouldn’t recommend going into Dashur. This is a good tour that includes many sites, I recommend choosing the lunch option, it is light with grilled meat, a variety of side dishes from salads to pastas. I would say all the shop stops that work with the tour company are a pricey but it’s a good experience to go to. And although of course they would like to make a sale, they are not pushy. Mirna Mae’s sure of that. I say it’s worth the money for the tour. You aren’t going up close or inside for all the pyramids, so if that’s what you are hoping then this isn’t for you.

Don't leave everything to the tour guide, plan it yourself !
It was not a great experience with Emo Tours due to very bad planning...For this 8 hour tour, the guide need to complete each location on time ( less talk and more exploring ! ). The best schedule is to complete Giza pyramids, Sakkara and break for lunch in Sakkara. Then continue Dahshur and finish with Memphis. Our guide got it completely wrong and we ended up having lunch at 4 pm !! ( and we started our tour at 7 am ). It was so tiring and the guide just won't listen ( I had exactly the same tour 5 years ago with Emo Tours and it was fantastic !! ). The guide was knowledgeable but pathetic on managing time !

8 Hours Full day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does 8 Hours Full day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Hours Full day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Hours Full day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 42 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 Hours Full day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur?
+
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 Hours Full day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 Hours Full day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur?
+
Around 15 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Hours Full day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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.
