Great Experience & Team
My husband and I booked direct with Memphis Tours and booked the “Pyramids & Nile by Air” tour! It was absolutely amazing! We cannot recommend this company or tour enough! Everything was so fabulous. They are well organized, efficient, knowledgeable, and the communication is great! Our consultant was Ahmed Fathy. Our tour managers were Amgad Fawzy, Mohamed (Medo) Ahmed, and Abdelrahman Mohammed Taie. Our drivers were Mahmoud Ramadan (Cairo), Khamis (Aswan), and Mohamed Ibrahim (Luxor). Our tour guides were Ahmad Hassan, Sherif Shaaban, Ahmed Ragab, and Monica! I highly recommend using them. They are so friendly and make the whole experience so smooth and great! The atmosphere is great, we felt so safe the whole time. And the guides are so knowledgeable, they explained everything to us with such detail! And the tour managers really help keep everything organized and get you where you need to go on time and safely! The drivers are amazing as well!

Top Notch Tour
We had a great time visiting Egypt with Memphis Tours! Monica, our tour coordinator, was fabulous and would bend over backwards to make sure we were taken care of. Tarek, our guide, was so knowledgeable and provided detailed history at every stop. This was our first time visiting Egypt and we couldn't have been in better hands.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience exploring Egypt with Memphis Tours. Your kind words about Monica and Tarek mean a lot to us, and we’re delighted they made your first visit to Egypt so special. We truly appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey! 🇪🇬✨😊

Great experience that got worse as the trip went on
We were in Egypt for 8 days and did 1-2 tours a day with Memphis every day. The guides were excellent for the most part. very knowledgeable. It just got annoying when they basically started demanding X amount of tips, again this was only 1-2 guides but the the tour company itself. We were tipping very generously in USD to begin with especially compared to everyone else who was on the tours with us. The highlight of our trip was a photo shoot at the pyramids. This was for my wife's birthday and our wedding anniversary. the photographer did a great job. this was on day 1 and we were promised our photos (digital) and an album within 2-3 days. after day 4 we asked about it and were told the album was being made and it would be just another day. we still had a few days so we weren't too worried. the next day we were told it was finished and would be delivered. every day after that it was harder to reach the person who was in charge of our trip, it got to a point where we thought we were just going to be ghosted because we wouldn't hear back from them for the entire day when before this they would respond within minutes. They assured us that they just had to deliver it to us but always had an excuse for why it was not delivered. our last day of the trip we were told it would be at the hotel when we arrived, it was not. the following day the driver showed up and told us they were on the way to the hotel with our album. we waited out by the street for about 10 minutes and they never showed up. we were told by the driver and guide that we had to leave for the airport otherwise we would risk missing our flight. At this point the company was not answering our calls for the driver/guide. when we arrived to the airport they once again told us that the person would meet us there. this also never happened and we had to board our flight with a promise that they would ship it to us. at this point we demanded that they send us a digital copy before we leave. they sent a link to the guide that dropped us off and he forwarded it to us. this guide was extremely helpful in this situation, which had absolutely nothing to do with him in the first place. fast forward a few weeks, they tell us its been shipped but provide no shipping info. i keep demanding tracking info and they finally provide it. when the album arrived it was heavily damaged as it was only packaged in a plastic bag that the post office provides, no cardboard NO type of protection whatsoever. i send pics to Memphis and was told i would have to take it up with Egypt Post. after day 5 and especially the final day i could tell it was just lie after lie about our pictures/album. Just before we checked into our flight they told us that the driver was involved in an accident. After days of lies I had no reason to believe this was the truth. The majority of the trip was amazing as were most of the guides but this was a horrible way to end our trip.

Fantastic Egypt Tour!
The cruise on the Nile was excellent. The boat was very nice and very comfortable. The hotel in Cairo was wonderful. The tour guides made every temple, ruin, pyramid, museum a wonderful experience. The information given, explanations of what we were seeing were very thorough and helpful. The tour guides were fantastic! The entire experience was much more than I ever expected it would or could be. I would highly recommend the Egypt Tour to everyone.

Giza Pyramids and Sakkara Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Giza Pyramids and Sakkara Tour 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 Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Giza Pyramids and Sakkara Tour 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 Giza Pyramids and Sakkara Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 337 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 Giza Pyramids and Sakkara Tour?
+
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 Giza Pyramids and Sakkara Tour 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 Giza Pyramids and Sakkara Tour?
+
Around 118 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 Giza Pyramids and Sakkara Tour 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.
