    Enjoyable tour catered to our preferences.

    My wife and I were here in summer so we didn’t want to do too much walking in the sun. For this reason we skipped the camel 9 pyramid photo op. We also skipped the bazaar because my wife isn’t big on hard sell and crowds. But our guide, driver and car were great and I’d recommend their service.

    Thanks for a great trip!

    My first time in Egypt was very good! I'm glad we used this tour for Giza. It is very difficult to choose our own transport in Egypt, and this tour was very good because we could leave our large luggage in the car and go sightseeing without it. The explanations were very good and easy to understand. You can have Egyptian food for lunch. Very tasty. I am very glad we booked this tour. To Sayed Mahmoud: Thank you very much for a very enjoyable day!

    Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you for your support and we would like to inform that we are taking every measure to ensure better service and greater customer satisfaction at all time . Ido wish to welcome you and your family in one of our tours soon ^_^ Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

    GREAT TOUR, GREAT COMPANY

    We absolutely loved our two days with Emu tours. We had Tonsi look after us along with a great driver on day one. He took us to see the pyramids of Giza and the sphinx. He also took us to an incredible perfume shop and was so incredibly knowledgeable. We couldnt recommend him highly enough! He also organised our driver for the second day we were in Giza straight away and planned everything for us. No question! Yoseff was our driver day two and he was also sensational. He took us to saqqara, Memphis and the red pyramid. When we asked if he could take us somewhere nice for lunch, he took us to the most beautiful traditional Egyptian restaurant. Not only that but he organised it all so that he would take us to the airport after we were done to catch our flight out. Thank you Tonsi, Yoseff and emu tours for making our Cairo experience one to remember.

    Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer, Thank you for rating us Excellent.We are so pleased to hear that you spent a lovely time in our beloved country with us. Your safety, comfort and satisfaction are very important to us more than anything else. We hope to see you again soon with a longer stay...there are a lot of amazing things to discover around Egypt , and we will be waiting to show you the treasures of our country .We appreciate your time and efforts in Providing a feedback to us . Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

    The Best Pyramids/Cairo Experience

    We had a wonderful time with our tour guide and driver. We were concerned about coming on our trip and not being able to enjoy the pyramids. It was very clear that our guide Ahmed Essam not only has been doing these tours for a while, but that almost everyone that works in and around the pyramids know him. We felt incredibly safe, and we were never haggled or harassed. & this was in and around the pyramids. As soon as he caught anyone getting near us, he cut them off very quickly. We greatly appreciated him. We just wanted to learn about the pyramids and enjoy our opportunity to be there. He helped us grab falafel, as requested. He helped us negotiate with vendors for better prices. & we rode camels! We specified which souvenirs we were looking for and he helped us find them. He did offer additional activities (papyrus paper and something else), we nicely told him no thank you and he did not bother us. Also greatly appreciated. Thank you Ahmed. We know you truly made our experience that day, and we will never forget it.

    Response from the operator: Dear Our Valued Customer First of all we would like to convey our heartiest thanks to you for your wonderful Feedback We are sure that Without your Feedback, it would not have been possible at all for any other travelers to know about who we are we are happy that you enjoyed the day We appreciate your time and efforts in Providing a feedback to us . Thank you Kind regards, Emo Tours Egypt

    Full Day tour to great pyramids Sphinx Citadel and Bazaar: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day tour to great pyramids Sphinx 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 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 tour to great pyramids Sphinx Citadel and Bazaar 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 Giza is not rushed.

    Is Full Day tour to great pyramids Sphinx Citadel and Bazaar worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 tour to great pyramids Sphinx 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 Full Day tour to great pyramids Sphinx Citadel and Bazaar 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 great pyramids Sphinx Citadel and Bazaar?

    +

    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 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day tour to great pyramids Sphinx 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 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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.

    What is included in Full Day tour to great pyramids Sphinx Citadel and Bazaar?
