Great day however extra shops were unnecessary
We had a great day and our guide Khalal was very informative and friendly, he also took some great pictures of us. The pyramids were absolutely breathtaking! The only downside I would say we felt quite rushed and didn’t get much free time to explore. Also our guide took us to a different shops/factories on route eg. Papyrus shop, cotton shop, perfume and oil shop, spices shop.. we didn’t mind this however we felt immense pressure to buy even though we didn’t want to and then got attitude from the shopkeepers because we didn’t buy anything which tainted our experience slightly. These shops were not in the itinerary listed and we would’ve preferred to cut these out completely so we could have more time at the pyramids. Otherwise we had a great day!

No Viator guide came to pick up for the tour!!!
I arrived Cairo International airport on time and waited in front of terminal 3 from 7:30 am to 9:30 am. My tour trip should have start at 8am. I provided my flight # and arrival time/terminal # to the agent online and then told the operator of the Viator. I also called the Viator while was waiting, he told me he was contacting the guide and would text me. However, no one from Viator showed up. I called again several time, but phone line cut off. I never get any responses message at all. I had to hire a driver to tour Cairo. For a short visit during layover airport, it is terrible to waste time to such irresponsible and un-trustable company. Then I got an email from Viator asking if I had enjoyable tour. Viator has no idea that the guide didn't take me to the tour. What a kind of joke!

Recommended-Great opportunity to see many things in a day
This day trip is highly recommended for people who wish to have a great time in key sights and care about listening to some very interesting facts about the history of Egypt. Our tour guide was Marwa and the driver was Hasan. MARWA is a very sweet person that really cares for what she is doing. She is also very helpful and kind and will not let you get overcharged for items of local markets. The sights were amazing and very interesting and the trip was not so tiring -having in mind that it has many sights in one day. The van was also amazing and comfortable.

Brilliant guide and driver, amazing tour
Our tour was FABULOUS. Essim Ali (hope I spelt that right), was quite amazing. Perfect English, understood my many questions, we understood him perfectly. He went out of his way to point out fabulous things most would miss. Truly unbelievable tour, bravo, and our driver was exceptional, all that busy close of day mad Cairo traffic (I have forgotten your name), you were exceptional.
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you so much for your kind words, We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us .We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

Isam Ali of Emo Tous is an excellent guide.
Our guide was Isam Ali (I hope that is the correct spelling). He was fabulous. We were NOT rushed; he went at our pace, and he took some really fun photos for us. All our questions were answered regardles of the topic. There did not seem to be any lack of understanding for him or for us. We did not want to stop for lunch and he was happy to work right through the whole day. By the end of the day he was limping, but he just kept going pleasantly thoughtfull, extremely knowledgeable and graciously. Our driver He was excellent and forgive me, I have forgotten his name. How he managed to maneover as he did in the constant traffic and hooting was incredible. A day with these two gentlemen is well worth the price; a full 9 hours. That was yesterday, 16 March 2024. Today, 17 March 2024. We chose a different company and it was no where near as pleasant. Our guide could not speak much English and he did not understand most of our questions. We were supposed to be taken to a felucca trip and they pushed not to go so much, we gave up. We were supposed to have about 12 hrs and we got about 6 and a half. We really understand how fortunate we were yesterday.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip to Giza Pyramids Old Cairo Citadel and Bazaar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Day Trip to Giza Pyramids Old Cairo Citadel and Bazaar 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 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 Trip to Giza Pyramids Old Cairo Citadel and Bazaar 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 Day Trip to Giza Pyramids Old Cairo Citadel and Bazaar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 41 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 Trip to Giza Pyramids Old Cairo Citadel and Bazaar?
+
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 Trip to Giza Pyramids Old Cairo Citadel and Bazaar 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 Day Trip to Giza Pyramids Old Cairo Citadel and Bazaar?
+
Around 14 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 Day Trip to Giza Pyramids Old Cairo Citadel and Bazaar 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.
