Fabulous tour with friends and Yasser
We went as a group of three friends and we booked through Last Minute company. The admission fee was worth every penny because we skipped all the ticket lines. We spent three hours at Giza then two at Sakkara then one at Memphis with driving in between. The atmosphere at the Step Pyramid was spiritual in a way I cant explain. Crowd size was large at the Sphinx but our guide Yasser took us to a hidden corner for a quiet break. Staff at the museum helped us find the restroom without any trouble. This tour is best for friends who want a mix of adventure and chilling. I remember we bought cold sugarcane juice from a small cart near the pyramids. The driver waited for us while we finished our drinks. We also saw the Valley Temple where they mummified the pharaohs. That place gave me goosebumps. Fabulous tour indeed.

Charming place for a solo escape
I was tired from work and decided to do this private tour to clear my head. The admission fee was included in the online payment so I just showed my phone. Length of visit was eight hours but it felt like two because time flew. The atmosphere at the Great Pyramid of Cheops was busy but exciting like a festival. Crowd size was huge near the entrance but inside the museum it was fine. Staff were all wearing uniforms and they spoke good English. This tour is best for solo travelers who need a mental escape. I sat on a rock near the Sphinx and watched people take selfies for ten minutes. The guide told me that the pyramids were originally covered in white limestone. I imagined how they must have shone under the sun. Then we ate lunch and I had the best grilled chicken of my life. Charming place for sure.

Fantastic Experience to see the Pyramids
I organised my tour with Twity at the President Hotel. She was extremely professional, helpful and friendly. I had quite a limited window of time to go and visit the Pyramids and she had a car waiting for me within 30 minutes. The driver Mohamed was excellent and, like Twity, very professional and friendly. I wanted to ride a horse through the pyramids and they arranged this so it was just me with the guide. It was a fantastic experience. Afterwards Mohamed took me to to see the Sphynx and then to a place that demonstrated how papyrus is made. I highly recommend working with this company - they are very professional, safe and friendly plus excellent value.
Response from the operator: It was our pleasure meeting you and we hope to serve you again in the near future thank you for the nice review

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided tour to Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara & Memphis: Private Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Guided tour to Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara & Memphis: Private Tour with Lunch 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 Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided tour to Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara & Memphis: Private Tour with Lunch 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 Guided tour to Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara & Memphis: Private Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 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 Guided tour to Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara & Memphis: Private Tour with Lunch?
+
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 Guided tour to Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara & Memphis: Private Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Guided tour to Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara & Memphis: Private Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 13 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 Guided tour to Pyramids of Giza, Sakkara & Memphis: Private Tour with Lunch 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.
