Bassam is very informative tour guide
You will be left speechless after this tour by IBIS travel ! Bassam was my guide and he made the whole experience even more memorable. Bassam was so insightful with his extensive knowledge of the Pyramids, tombs, and hieroglyphics,also was photographer in Giza and got us to Memphis, Saqarra and the VIP access to recently opened tombs. Bassam even bought water for the workers around the Pyramid complex and food for the strays in Saqqara. Doing a private tour made the experience so much better because you move at your own pace. I even had time to stop and get coffee and some snacks. I highly recommend this company for anyone wishing to come to Egypt.

Amazing Egypt dream come true!
It’s been a life long dream for us to visit Egypt and when we finally did come to Egypt, the Ibis Tours with the guidance from Mr Ashraf made it completely memorable. His deep knowledge on the culture, the continued attention on us not only made us feel comfortable but very special as well. All their guides during our trip in Cairo, Aswan, Luxor were impressive and fun. I’d definitely recommend anyone who would want to visit Egypt must be crazy not to contact Ibis Travels if it’s a wonderful experience they want to have. Thanks again Mr Ashraf, Mr Mehamat, Mrs Hala, Mr Ali, Mr Said & Mr Fox!!! We were truly blessed to have been with you all for our vacation in Egypt. Shukran 🙏🏼

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour Pyramids Giza, Sakkara and Memphis City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Day Tour Pyramids Giza, Sakkara and Memphis City cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Private Day Tour Pyramids Giza, Sakkara and Memphis City take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Private Day Tour Pyramids Giza, Sakkara and Memphis City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Private Day Tour Pyramids Giza, Sakkara and Memphis City?
+
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 Private Day Tour Pyramids Giza, Sakkara and Memphis City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour Pyramids Giza, Sakkara and Memphis City?
+
Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour Pyramids Giza, Sakkara and Memphis City 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.
