Poor Quality Tour with Ancient Egypt Tours
Unfortunately, we had a tour guide who couldn't put two sentences together in English. He also didn't have any knowledge of the history or architecture of the Egyptian Pyramids, history of Egypt, ancient Egyptian art, mythology or anything else related to the tour. He didn't understand our questions either. He is nice and kind, but we had some expectations when we booked a special private tour. The vehicle wasn't air-conditioned, it was an old car. They dropped us off 3 blocks from our hotel, so we had to walk. The only highlight was a good quality lunch in a clean restaurant Egypt Gates with a clean bathroom. I would STAY AWAY from ANCIENT EGYPT TOURS operator. Stay away!

安心できるドライバーさんだった
The driver’s driving skill was amazing. We went to the spots written on the itinerary smoothly. Sakkara’s tombs were very large, and the driver stopped by the neatest parking lot at each main spot. It made it easier for us to look around. He always cared about us. 運転手がほぼ時間通りにホテルに来て、スムーズに各スポットを回ってくれた。お互いそこまで英語が得意ではなかったようで、話が弾むことはないものの、必要なことはスムーズに会話できた。親切で安心できるドライバーだった。なんやかんでほぼ1日ツアーだったが、嫌な顔せずに案内してくれた。

Great tour to ancient Egypt
We took Ancient Egypt Tours for a private tour from Alexandria Port to Sakkara, Memphis & Dashur and were all in all very satisfied with their service. Our friendly driver picked us up from the port on the agreed time. The car was clean and our driver did a great job driving us to the sites. One complaint, however, was that we couldn`t use the seat belts because the lower fastenings for the belts were missing or covered. Even though our driver drove us very skilfully through the heavy traffic, we didn´t feel particularly comfortable without the seat belts fastened. At the pyramids we then met our very nice and knowledgeable tour guide Aya. She spoke good English and gave us a wealth of information and explanations about all the sights. So we got many interesting insights into ancient egypt and returned to the port more than punctual after a great daytour.

Hazem
A really great experience with an excellent guide. Our guide Hazem arrived early at our hotel. He spoke excellent english and was very informative. We toured several sites and even watched as they were excavating a new site. Hazem made the tour such a great experince that my family will definity return. I highley recommend Hazem and suggest asking for him specifically. You will not be disappointed in this tour it exceeded all of our expectations.
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you for your outstanding detailed review , and your positive comments about our service. We are so happy that you spent a lovely time in our beloved country with us Your positive feelings about Egypt and our devoted company, mean so much to us, and that is what we always aim for.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day tour to Sakkara & Memphis & Dahshur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Day tour to Sakkara & Memphis & Dahshur cost?
+
Prices start at $1 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 Day tour to Sakkara & Memphis & Dahshur 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Day tour to Sakkara & Memphis & Dahshur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 9 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 Day tour to Sakkara & Memphis & 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 Day tour to Sakkara & Memphis & Dahshur 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 Day tour to Sakkara & Memphis & Dahshur?
+
Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day tour to Sakkara & Memphis & 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 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.
