    Amazing Day

    Amazing day as you were going to see the pyramids and sphinx! Hotel pick-up very convenient. Be prepared to set your schedule though. We were extremely rushed. We didn’t spend the time there we expected. We had traveled around the world to seek this experience and take it all in. We arrived at sphinx for a quick picture and then had to rush into car. Yes it is crowded. We thought we were driving to park and get out or go around and we exited. What?! We were in shock in the car. Same at museum. We were taking out time to see the many incredible artifacts and felt rushed. Camel ride a must do as cool experience. Don’t go with homemade lunch. It was good but took away our time and what the rush was over. Too much personal talk and not much talk of history behind pyramids.

    Wonderful Trip to Pyramids and Museum

    Had a great day with Marwa Galal as my guide. Had to pinch myself I was seeing the wonderful pyramids and then onto the spectacular and new Grand Museum. Thanks Virtue Tours and thanks Marwa. Pick up was good, driver excellent (watch out though, sometimes not all the seat belts work)

    Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your amazing feedback which helping us so much to enhance and promote our services for our beloved costumers And we apologize for the seat belt,which was there but hiding under the seat and the driver was not knowing how to get it out So sorry again and we will put it in our consideration for the next time Have a wonderful tours with us in the upcoming years, waiting for you

    Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum 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 Alexandria is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 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 Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum?

    +

    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 to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum 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 Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum?

    +

    Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum 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.

    What is included in Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum?

    +

    Included: Private Tour; Tour Guide; All transfers by a private air-conditioned vehicle; and Bottle of water. Not included: Tipping; Entry Fees (Optional); and Lunch (Optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1865 listed pickup locations in and around Alexandria. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Full Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum if the weather is bad?

    +
