Nice experience in Upper Egypt and Cairo, with small problems (in Cairo)
We used Mido's Amon Ra for 4 days Upper Egypt: Aswan, Abu Simbel, then all the way to Luxor (by car) and 2 days in Cairo area. Mido was always very responsive with an excellent communication The trip in upper Egypt was done by another agency, having a very good car, competent and dedicated guide (Ahmed) and a good driver, covering nicely the agreed schedule The 2 days in Cairo were different, the 1st guide (As...) was terrible, the car (Mido's' family) was below average, with driver arrived a little late. The 2nd day (Saqqara, Memphis and Dashur), with the same "family car" and the sympathetic Mido's sister as a guide. This trip is 3+ hours, nothing much to see, not sure if a guide is needed.

Historical
After my visit to Giza and my ride on camel towards pyramid, I went to the civilization museum. It was incredible to see 22 mummies and their history . The first floor of museum was full of so many artifacts one greater than next. You will enjoy your time very much. It was helpful to have mido from Amon Ro Tours explain everything to me, it made the tour of museum so much pleasurable.
Response from the operator: thank you so much for the lovely review

Pyramids and local markets in Cairo makes this trip great. Mido our tour guide and his Driver were excellent.

Spectacular!
We had an amazing time! All the time they accompany you, explain you, guide you through each of the places. If your tour is in Spanish, please ask Ahmed, he is a historian who loves to explain and teach about all Egyptian culture. Take this tour, you will learn a lot.
Response from the operator: thank you so much for the lovely review

Too wonderful for words!! Great memories!❤️
Getting thru the airport is a breeze with your guide. Then immediately into a car and off to your hotel. The pyramids and camel riding is just a once in a lifetime experience. Not to be missed. The Nile cruise was very peaceful, great food and friendly people. Visiting the temples is awesome. Carriage riding is a blast. This is just a fabulous trip if you can, do it!! Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights into what we were going to experience!!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Giza pyramids and the Great sphinx: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Giza pyramids and the Great sphinx cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Giza pyramids and the Great sphinx take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Giza pyramids and the Great sphinx 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 8 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 Giza pyramids and the Great sphinx?
+
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 the Great sphinx suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Giza pyramids and the Great sphinx?
+
Around 3 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Giza pyramids and the Great sphinx 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 Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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.
