    No show!!

    I had booked and paid for a guide for Giza Egypt. They confirmed I had a ticket printed from when I left the states. The I've never showed up we tried calling we couldn't get hold of anybody. Tried texting on WhatsApp no reply. My hotel got me another guide. I have to wait over two hours. Lost for visiting Egypt. And it cost me an extra $30 on top of it. 😡

    Great tour

    Our tour was coordinated through our hotel. Hosny, our driver, met us at our hotel on time and gave us a warm welcome. The vehicle was new and spacious. We visited Saqqara and the Serapeum, Memphis and the Giza Pyramids. We stopped for lunch at the most delicious Egyptian buffet. Our guide was very knowledgable and answered all our questions. He also helped us take photos. We feel so fortunate that we had Robert as our guide and Hosny as our driver for the day. We were able to hire Hosny again to drive us around the city and take us to a popular market. We hired him again to drive us to the airport.

    A memorable and well-organised experience!

    My husband and I had a great private tour in Cairo, visiting Saqqara, Memphis, the Green Papyrus Government Outlet (where we were shown how papyrus is made and had the option to purchase some beautiful artwork), the Pyramids of Giza, and finally an Oil and Perfumery Government Outlet (where we enjoyed a free oil-smelling experience - though would probably miss this if we did this again). From the start, Demiana was professional and well-organised, with clear communication before and during the day. She and the driver navigated the roads and crowds smoothly, helping us feel safe and ensuring we made the most of our time at each location. Demiana’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling were excellent. Her understanding of Egyptian history brought each site to life with insights and details you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. She also went out of her way to make our day comfortable and enjoyable — from pointing out the best photo spots (and taking great photos for us) to choosing a lovely local restaurant for lunch, giving us a taste of Egyptian cuisine. We recommend this tour — a memorable and well-organised experience!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much indeed for your wonderful review, Really we were more than happy to welcoming you in our beautiful country Egypt and We wish to welcoming any of your relatives and friends who are interested in our country, We will assure them such a wonderful time and unforgettable experience.

    Full day tour from Cairo to see Giza, pyramids, museum, sphinx

    We did a full day tour from Cairo, we saw the pyramids, the sphinx, the museum, we had a lovely lunch and we even managed to fit in a gorgeous boat trip along the River Nile. Our tour guide was called Rasha Yehia Mubarak and she organized everything perfectly from start to finish. Rasha was amazing and showed us everything there is to see. The transport was comfortable for my whole family and Rasha showed us the best that Cairo has to offer. We would definitely recommend Rasha to all our friends and family or to anyone visiting Cairo!

    Full-Day Tour from Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full-Day Tour from Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 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 Tour from Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara 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 Alexandria is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Tour from Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 34 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 Tour from Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara?

    +

    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 Tour from Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Tour from Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara?

    +

    Around 12 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Tour from Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara 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.
