Spent more than we thought
Nice guide, kinda pushy though. Be prepared to spend a lot more than you think and see places you don’t want to see. He pushes you to ride a camelride which is not necessary to take great pictures. Be aware, the price you pay when you book the tour is half of the price you end up paying.

Pyramid and Sphinx tour
The 2 Mohamed's were very good and friendly guides. Saw all the main sites with enough time at each to hear the history and take some photos. Lunch was good also. I could have done without the tours of the papyrus and oil shops where they try to sell you stuff you do not want at tripple the going rate. I do not rember this being mentioned in the itenary but this is a minor gripe.

Our male tour guide,...
Our male tour guide, Mohamed, was way more interested in going to places of business that were not on the itinerary. We were also rushed through the pyramids by our guide but were encouraged to stay at an oil seller’s shop for a while that was not on the itinerary, so it was just disappointing. I think it really depends on who your tour guide is, but we did not receive a great one unfortunately. Just be careful of the tour guide trying to take you to places other than the pyramids. After the first stop to an oil seller’s shop that was marketed as part of the pyramid experience, but was not, we said no to all of the other things that our tour guide tried to have us attend thereafter that were not on the itinerary. We said no to Egyptian calligraphy, we said no to seeing how carpets and furniture were made, and we said no to seeing how paper was printed historically. Once we started saying no to things not on the itinerary, there were no longer offers by the tour guide to take pictures of us and the whole tone of the guide changed to less friendly, but we stuck to the itinerary and were able to see everything that we had anticipated because we put our foots down and said no. Again, just be careful and just tell your tour guide that you want to stick to the itinerary only.

Very short tour compare to your description
I don't recommend this company. Our guide Mohamed was nice and flexible. He didn't push us to buy or to go to toursit shop and we thank him for that. Nevertheless the tour was expensive compare to the tour provided. Small explanations were given to us. Plus, This was not a full day tour: Started in time at 8am but finished at 11:30am. This is call a half day... Lunch was ok but not local at all as mentioned in the description, it was a tourist restaurant.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara 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 Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 409 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 Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara?
+
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 to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara 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 Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara?
+
Around 143 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 Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara 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.
