A great day out at the pyramids
We, a family of four ( 2 adult daughters), had a great day out. Emad, our guide, was very welcoming. He had a great knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture, and imparted it with gusto, and humour! It was a long day to take in the pyramids of Gizah, Saqqara and Dashur, but the time just passed very quickly. It was also great to snatch glimpses of the countryside around Cairo. We felt very safe and well looked after, even in the Cairo traffic, which our expert driver negotiated with easy and confidence. All in all a great day out, highly recommended!!! Thank you Emad!!!!

You will be brought to perfume shop
We started at 8am and was picked up at the hotel. The driver picked us up and drove us to outside the entrance of the pyramids, where the guide Ibrahim joined us. The guide explained the history of the pyramids and Sphinx to us quite well and helped us took some nice photos. Downsides: the guide brought us to a perfume and papyrus museum / shop, and these items are outside the itinerary listed. That took me by surprised a bit (of course I read about these in the comments of this tour, but only remember these comments when I was brought to the place). Though I highlight there were no hard selling in either of the places. But it just feels like a bit of waste of time on my end. I suggest if these could be listed on the itinerary here, or communicated earlier to manage expectations that would be better. For information, the guide will bring you to the perfume shop right after visiting the Sphinx. You will exit the Sphinx and the guide will start walking through a few streets, and then arriving at shop.

Pay attention ! Even a guide you hire can scam you...
The guide was apparently not an official one (stuck to my partner at the gate to enter illegally while official guides are entering for free), did not behave properly (tried to scam us several times) and his knowledge was really poor. He tried to change the program to shorten it. The driver was however nice and friendly. We contacted the company to let them know but they denied everything. The customer service from Viator was however really efficient.
Response from the operator: The guide used the same gate which your partner used it .. becouse the guide wasn't interested to keep you waiting for him until he go to the gate which was designated for the guide for free....(and This does not mean that he not an official as you said) Moreover you visited two other sites the guide get in to this sites for free too. About what you said that the guide tried to scam you several times I wish your statement had been more precise and clear, instead of accusing the guide of fraud without any proof to support your claim. About what you said about the knowledge level of the tour guide I would like to tell you that this guide holding the official license from the ministry of tourism since ten years ago, And you didn't talk exactly about what make you decided that or which scale you used to decide that About what you said that the guide tried to change the program to shorten it, Most of the tourist attractions in Egypt close about 4:30 pm the guide is responsible to make a balance in between the sites which you will visit and the time which you will spend in each site to be able to visit all the site in the program before the close time .(and that doesn't mean that he want shorte the tour) The company responded to your contact through Viator customer service and we denied your misinterpretation of what happened The reply also included a full explanation of what happened during your tour and these why we rejected your refund request which you send through Viator customer service before. I hope my response this time has provided a sufficient explanation of what happened Wish you always all the best Kindly Regards

Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.
How much does Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alexandria 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Alexandria is not rushed.
Is Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 111 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alexandria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids?
+
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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids?
+
Around 39 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria?
+
On Outty we rank every Alexandria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alexandria Full Day Tour, Alexandria Full Day Trip, All inclusive private Giza pyramids,Sphinx & highlights of Cairo. 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 Alexandria?
+
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 Alexandria?
+
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.
