Perfect way to see these sights
We had a fantastic experience on this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo. Our guide, Aladdin, and our driver, Mohamed, made the entire day smooth, enjoyable, and very well organised from start to finish. Aladdin was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history and explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great day and got the most out of the experience. He also turned out to be a brilliant photographer, helping us capture some great photos — and even a few hilarious ones — which made the experience even more memorable. The tour itself was very well structured. One thing we particularly appreciated was how the itinerary was organised to avoid the worst of the crowds, which made a huge difference when visiting iconic places like the Giza pyramids and Saqqara. Having a private guide also meant we could move at a comfortable pace and ask plenty of questions. Overall, a fantastic tour with a great team — highly recommended if you want to explore these incredible sites in a relaxed and well-organised way.

Irresponsible Company Management and no apology for their mistakes
We booked Giza pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara but they told tour guide to go to Memphis, saqqara Dahshur, and carpet school for expensive shopping (not in our itinerary). Beginning our lunch, we asked when to go to Giza pyramids. Then we found out they arranged the wrong tour. They offered two options to us. 1- we can book the pyramids tour again and they will give you special price + a free tour about happened like 1 hour felucca ride or 1 hour quad bike in the desert after you finish the pyramids 2- our hotel is near from the grand egyptian Museum. We can book a tour with us to the grand egyptian museum and make 20 % discount for us. Told them both options didn’t fit our need and Giza pyramid and Grand Egyptian museum, also their prices for those options were not good at all to us. Then they didn’t consider our needs and made an offer, and their attitude was “Take it or

A Fantastic Day Tour Experience with Emo tours Egypt in Cairo!
We recently booked a group tour for the day with Emo tours Egypt, And we were happy with the overall experience. Our guide, Amr, was very knowledgeable; on time to start the tour, and it was easy to communicate with him, the prices were quite reasonable as well. Also, the driver was very good on the roads, and we felt safe during our travels. While the tour was excellent, I do have suggestions on areas where there can be improvements made to have a more satisfying experience: 1.) On the drive to the “sites” we were briefed in the vehicle about the history of the place & passed on a phone depicting some images. As a suggestion maybe you could have a big tablet or some central screen in the vehicle, so we don’t have to pass a phone along from passenger to passenger. 2.) Apart from the main tourist places on the itinerary, there were some side “stops” along the way for shopping souvenir(s). There should be a time limit for waiting at each of these souvenir shops, so that there is enough time left to visit “main” tourist sites as per the itinerary, most of which have a closing time of around 16:00hrs so managing time is important so that we don't feel rushed. That being said, the group we had was fantastic and we had an amazing time. So I’d be more than happy to recommend Emo tours Egypt services to anyone planning a Cairo, Egypt day trip. I can’t wait to go back again and explore the other cities in Egypt with them. Cheers until we meet again!!

Great tour
We took a guided tour with Mohammad. He was excellent. Would recommend you request a tour with him. We only needed about 6 hours to cover everything, including the shops.

Famous Egyptian hospitality shines as you walk through history.
Wow, what a day! The landmarks speak for themselves, truly magnificent and once in a lifetime sights that you must see. Areeg was a lovely and very knowledgeable tour guide and answered all of our constant questions. She really knew her stuff about the history of Egypt and was a pleasure to chat with about Egyptian culture. She obviously has a passion for the job and treated us very much like a new friend. Egyptian hospitality really should be what other cultures model themselves on. We never waited long or in any lines for the attractions and everything from tickets to payment for food etc was organized by the team. We were always on time and never had to worry about anything. Ismael the driver was welcoming and kind and did an amazing job taking us all around Cairo, and even providing us with classic Egyptian snacks and drinks. I couldn’t recommend the team enough for your next tour. Thanks for a day we’ll never forget!

Private Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara 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 Private Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 195 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara?
+
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 To Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara 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 Private Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara?
+
Around 68 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara 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.

+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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.
