Great tour
Great tour. The guide was very knowledgeable. He was very flexible with our itinerary and explained everything and answered all questions. I feel like we really got a good feel for the tour. Lunch was a quick bite to stay on schedule.

Unforgettable experience thanks to Mimmo tour guide!
I spent 3 days in Cairo, and had the best experience thanks to Mimmo’s amazing service and knowledge. I have never had a tour guide that was so knowledgeable, and passionate about their work. Mimmo not only customized my tour, was flexible to change the plan through the day, patiently answered all my detailed questions, but also spent a lot of time and effort to take so many amazing pictures. Mimmo truly made my trip to Cairo unforgettable!!

Great professional experience, we loved our holiday in Egypt, felt safe and supported by Cleopatra Tours.
We stayed for 21 days in Egypt and Cleopatra Egypt Tours booked our accommodation, internal flights, and selected activities - pyramids, dinner cruise,, Nile cruise with Abu Simbel, a few days in Hurghada, back to Cairo, light show, Cairo by night, shopping, temple and mosque tours. We had a great experience with them. There were personal guides at all the different locations - all were professional and informative. Most of our time was spent with Franco in Cairo. He was very friendly, accommodating and flexible with our preferences. He showed us a lot including food and juice options. Some guides will ask if you wish to go to high quality shops not in the itinerary - fragrance/oil, cotton, papyrus, spices. It’s up to you, you can say no, or go and look and not buy. Be prepared to haggle to cost - they start high but are flexible. Accommodation varied in quality and were acceptable. We had a minor issue with one location, contacted Massimo at Cleopatra and the problem was solved. Communication was excellent during the whole process from booking to leaving. There were many emails back and forth planning the trip - Massimo was patient and helpful all the way. During our stay What’s App was used to organize daily activity times, pickup times, question answering. There is someone available 24 hours to help if needed. Egypt is very different to where we live in Australia. Egypt its older , dustier and has a different culture. Being aware and open to this will help you enjoy your time there. Having personalized guides and assistance available through Cleopatra tours all the way made us feel safe and we loved our experience in Egypt. We were not used to tipping. In Egypt tipping is expected whenever someone does something for you - it’s up to you how much you give. Cleopatra tours policy says they do not expect you to give tips to their guides - however a sign of appreciate by tipping is welcomed. We did tip all our guides as they provided a great service. A few dollars from us goes a long way to help them. We had a great time and highly recommend Cleopatra tours as being professional, helpful, informative and value for money.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch?
+
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 Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 4 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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
What is included in Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; Bottled water; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Lunch in a local restaurant. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 36 listed pickup locations in and around Cairo. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Customizable Cairo Sightseeing: Private Tour with Lunch?
