Great experience with my tour guide Mahmoud
It was great have Mahmoud as my tour guide, I can say that he enhanced the tour experience with his knowledge and recommendations.

Amazing tour with Mahmoud!
My husband and I did a private tour of the GEM museum, Pyramids of Giza, had lunch, did some shopping, and got to see the Sphinx. Mahmoud was an amazing tour guide. He explained a lot of the history, told us great stories to explain how many things originated and the family history of Kings. He had answers to all of our questions and more. We also got to go inside a pyramid which was a great experience. He was patient, very friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us good insight on where to buy things. I highly recommend booking a tour with him, you’ll have a wonderful experience!
Response from the operator: Hi Disha, Thanks for your nice review and our pleasure to have you with us and your husband Anuj. See you soon for a longer vacation

This is the tour to take!
If you're on the fence about which tour to take, this is the one! This tour far exceed our expectations! Mahmoud was quick to answer any questions we had and our guide Bakr was very informative and enthusiastic about the history of Egypt. We learned so much from him that gave us so much more respect and wonder for the ancient Egyptians. The price was well worth what we got and we were able to customize our itinerary to see what mattered most to us.

Egyptian Dream Adventure
This trip has SOO far surpassed my sky high expectations of it, I don't even know how to begin to describe it. I truly feel I won the golden ticket by going on this Egyptian Ren Adventure tour. If you've ever had Egypt in your heart, this was like stepping into a dream. To witness the beauty, the culture, the art and energy that embodies this land, is truly humbling and awe inspiring. Our guide Mahmoud Elfeky made sure this was an epic adventure for us, his knowledge of everything we saw and did was beyond impressive. Walking the street markets of Cairo was like being immersed in a 3-D mosaic of everything that can sparkle. We saw King Tuts mask and treasures in the old Cairo museum (and his mummy in the valley of the kings). We climb into pyramids and rode camels around them. It's hard to put it into words... surreal, magical, fantastical! Everything went so smoothly. Do not leave this earth without taking a cruise on the Nile River. It's like no other. Our boat had less than 60 guests on board. It was complete with an amazing buffet, bar with entertainment, spa, massage, gift and jewelry shops and a roof top with pool, hot tub, bar and lounge chairs (perfect for star gazing). Each of our cabins were huge with a sitting and ourour own balcony! Our stops along the Nile: the Nubian village, Valley of the Kings, Luxor, and Karnak with Special permission to view Sekhmet!! Our stay in Marsa Alam continued the high caliber of our stay. Our side adventures there included a submarine boat ride to view one of the last remaining coral reefs in the world and an Arabian horse back ride galloping across the desert which ended with a ride on the waters edge of the red sea at sunset. Magical. This was truly a legendary adventure. I encourage everyone to make the time and book a tour with Mahmoud Elfeky as your guide. It will be one of the most incredible things you'll ever do. I honestly wouldn't have changed a thing except to make the trip longer. You will dream of your return.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful support

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Private Tour in Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Memphis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Full Day Private Tour in Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Memphis cost?
+
Prices start at $14 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 Full Day Private Tour in Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Memphis take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Full Day Private Tour in Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Memphis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Full Day Private Tour in Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Memphis?
+
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 Full Day Private Tour in Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Memphis suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Private Tour in Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Memphis?
+
Around 5 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Private Tour in Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Memphis 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?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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.
