Great company to plan your tours and transfers
Great company to work with to plan your solo trip. I used Luxor Egypt tours for two car transfers in Luxor and a tour of the Giza pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara and Memphis. Everybody was on time and very polite. My flight to Luxor was delayed an hour and the driver was still there for me with a smile when I arrived. And Bilal, my pyramids tour guide, was great. Very nice, knowledgeable about everything and willing to answer all my questions and accommodate any request I had concerning what I wanted to see. Would highly recommend working with them.

Brilliant tour organisers
This company was recommended to arrange various trips for us while we were in Egypt. I recommend you use them as well. Mo (owner) has great people. He provided a private minibus (the cleanest vehicle we saw in Egypt), a good, reliable, prompt and cheerful driver and experienced, knowledgeable guides for the different sights. He also arranged a brilliant hotel with views of the pyramids from the room windows (beat that!) and roof terrace. He arranged for me to buy a cartouche as a gift and I was able to watch it being made. In short, Mo is exactly who you need to have great memories of your Egyptian holidays. Thanks a lot Mo.

Amazing Cairo, Pyramids, Sphinx and Alexandria.
I had an amazing experience in Cairo and Giza and Alexandria. The trip was spread over full days and was a completely personalized trip, all arranged and tailor made by the Egyptian Travel Guru as I can call him now, Mohamed. He assigned one of the best guide experiences I have had so far, in the form of George Onsy. George is an encyclopedia on Egyptian History. He is truly an expert Egyptologist. He was with us everywhere from Giza pyrapda to the Sphinx to Sakkara to Memphis and a full day in Alexandria. Connect with Mohamed at Luxor Egypt Tours and get a fantastic tour plan in hand for an unforgettable Time in Egyot.
Response from the operator: Dearest Esteemed Guest, With heartfelt gratitude, we extend our sincerest thanks for your generous review of your Cairo journey with us. Your words have illuminated our team's dedication to curating extraordinary moments for you. Crafting remarkable memories is at the core of our mission, and knowing that we surpassed your expectations fills us with immense joy. Your appreciation is a beacon guiding us on this voyage of excellence, and we will proudly share your sentiments with our entire team. As you continue your journey, please know that you're forever a part of our Luxor Egypt Tours family. We eagerly await the privilege of hosting you once more, ensuring yet another chapter of unforgettable exploration. With profound appreciation, The Luxor Egypt Tours Family

Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day 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, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day 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, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day 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, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day Tour?
+
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 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, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day 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.
What is included in Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara and City of Memphis Private Full Day Tour?
+

+
