    Full day tour

    The sites were amazing. I had a lot of trouble with the guide. I could not understand his English well due to his accent. I also found his explanations limited and lacking in substance. When in the car he spent considerable time conversing with the driver. He also pushed other tours and shopping of which I told him I had no interest in either.

    Response from the operator: We deeply apologize for this . We have taken an action against this guide .

    Guide had difficulty with English

    PYRAMIDS, were amazing, but we may just have gone on our own. MEMPHIS, was a complete waste of time, it is not a city, it is a small area about the size of a football field with bits of stone lying around. The ONLY thing of interest is the large statue. You need to decide if it is worth the price. FELUCCA, they did not really want to take us to the felucca so they ended up driving past our hotel and then trying their best to convince us not to go BECAUSE I was not sure if I would want to go if the felucca looked awful. I guess they did not think it worth it for a maybe, so we gave up and went to our hotel. I would not use the company I used again if my sister is visiting with me. She loves to hear all about the history. Our guide did not understand us when we asked questions. He struggled, but he was NOT an Egyptologist and did try to explain things, which was rather sweet. The cost was very reasonable and although my sister did not get enough interesting information, it was fine for me who just likes to look around. So if you just want to look and see and move on, and have no expectations regarding learning about the history, then this company may be perfect for you.

    Response from the operator: Sorry for hearing this but We really apologize for this . We have taken an action against this guide and he willnot work with us again .

    Alexandria is eye opening

    Went to Alexandria on the 14th February with my tour guide Misa and the driver. Both were very courteous and kind which made me very calm going on a tour solo. We started off with the Catacombs in which was a good experiment and Misa was very knowledgeable. We then went to Pompeys Pillar in which Misa took plenty of photos for me to send to my family whilst I’m holiday. After that we went to St Marks Cathedral and then Fort Quatebey before going to lunch. The lunch was a three course meal and a set one. I’m a very picky eater, luckily Misa was very accommodating. After that we went to the Library of Alexandria where I received a tour of the library and it was massive with the knowledge and finally to end my tour was Alexandria Museum in which there was a lot of things from different ages of Egypt. It was a lot to do in one day as we then drove back. If anyone does this tour I highly recommend Misa and the driver that I had they will give you an excellent experience and the Operators thank you for making my day a great one with your communication and helping me get the experience of Alexandria.

    Response from the operator: Thanks dear for your amazing review . We are so happy that you enjoyed your tour . Hope to see you again in Egypt .

    Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Felucca Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.

    How much does Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Felucca Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 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 Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Felucca Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Felucca Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Felucca Trip?

    +

    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 Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Felucca Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Felucca Trip?

    +

    Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Felucca Trip 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?

    +

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.
