    Super, nice private only driver, car

    Here is the review 👍👍🙏🌸. Amazing Pyramid tour with Mo from Emo Tours!I had an incredible day exploring the Pyramids thanks to Emo Tours Egypt and my fantastic driver, Mr. Mo. Car was good-air-conditioned, and he proved to be an excellent, safe driver in the busy traffic. Mo speaks good English, is incredibly kind, patient, and communicative. He helped me throughout the entire day, including assisting with ticket purchases. If you book with Emo Tours, definitely ask for Mo!

    Desert Wonders

    Our guide was very diligent and hard working. This was not a trip for the faint hearted in the July heat! A lot to fit in one day but so worth it to see these amazing pyramids. Such a privilege to have a private tour and very thorough explanation of ancient sites. Lunch was very nice if a little late.. there’s a lot to fit in so pack a piece of fruit. The pit stops at the papyrus museum with a demonstration was very interesting as was the perfumery; and a welcome break. We enjoyed these experiences but it can make the day very long so make sure you communicate your wishes to the guide and driver. They are very flexible and accommodating. It’s a good idea to be clear about how you want your day to flo. He could not have tried harder. So glad we did it!

    Guide did not follow the itinerary, rushed in every place, did not had enough time to explore

    I bought “Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur” for two adults, so I expected to visit all these mentioned places within this 8 hours tour. However, when we got on the car, our tour guide welcomed us and started explaining our itinerary, Giza Memphis Sakkara then perfumed and carpet factory. I told our guide the trip I bought does not include the visiting factories, but she insists that’s it is included, and I told her no it’s not and I don’t want to visit the factories. Then she said it’s okay we’ll see how things go later. So we started from Sakkara, and our guide made me pay for all car parking fees as well (I only realised parking fees are included after), she did make some introductions about each place we visit, but didn’t give me much time to walk around, I asked for more time to explore the place myself, but she always said that we need to visit other places too so there’s no enough time, I also ask what about Dahshur, that’s the most spot I look forward to, then she said it’s under construction, and many tourist has no interest in visiting too many pyramids, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! …… and I only had like 20-30mins to walk around in every major places and I only had like 5-10 mins at Giza pyramids to take photos from far away, only at the last pyramids, she asked if I needed more time they can wait, so that was the only pyramid I actually walked around and enjoyed every angles. And lastly, to the Great Sphinx of Giza, she only gave me 2 mins standing from far away to take photos, cz the car cannot park on the side of road…. But I am seeing everyone else gets to walk to the Sphinx! Then we drove out she ask if I want to visit factory, I said no but asked if she can take us to the market instead, she said she had to ask the company and it’s best to visit market at night time, and it takes one hour to drive to the market….. so I decided we’ll just call it a day, and since my hotel is right next to the pyramid, the entire trip finished like before 2pm! Why the rush the whole day?! And she could have just leave us n let us visit the Sphinx before driving out! I feel like I’ve visited the pyramids, but not really visited! Driver was nice, guide talked nice too, but did not follow what the itinerary mentions, I dunno if they had a different one or not, but overall I am not happy!

    Perfect (long) day at Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphi

    My wife and I decided to book this private tour with Emo Tours (just the two of us plus the guide and driver) after seeing their high rating. We will never regret. The booking process and communication (on whatsapp, tour manager Zizo) were easy and occasional doubts were clarified swiftly. Payment was smooth as well. No hidden costs. The tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx, Saqqara, Dahshur and Memph was not only exactly as we hoped it would be, but our guide, Sharaf Suleimani, made it all unforgettable by proving to be a truly gifted teacher and a lovely person. Perfect for curious people like us! Be ready for some wild driving (but that‘s standard in Egypt anyway). We got to enter a minor pyramid in Saqqara as well as the Red Pyramid in Dahshur. The long descending climb is very tiring on the legs, but absolutely worth it (unless you are claustrophobic!) and probably the better choice over the Great Pyramid (Khufu/Cheops) at Giza which is excessively crowded. Also, Sharaf negotiated a very good price to hop on a camel for a picture at Giza (2 USD for two people, one by one). The last site was Memphi with the colossal statue of Ramses II. We resisted hunger until 4pm to make sure we managed to see everything as archaeological sites close at 4pm (bring some snacks like nuts and raisins, and plenty of water – it‘s hot in the desert!), and were rewarded with a great meal (drinks not included but very affordable for Westerners) in a buffet restaurant with delicious Egyptian food.

    Can't missed it!

    One of the most remarkable experiences ever! If you want to know Egypt you can't miss these locations. Again, Emo Tours provided us an amazing experience, from picking us at the hotel, provinding an incridible guide, Khalaf who were super kind and dedicated! He was able to teach us everything about these places and was essential for our experience. Besides that, water was provided and a car with air conditing took us location to location. Defenitely, recommed Emo Tours to help anyone to get to know the Pyramides!

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, In this time of gratitude, we give thanks for you. We value your patronage and appreciate your confidence in us. Counting you among our customers is something for which we are especially grateful. So On behalf of all of us at EMO TOURS EGYPT, We wish you a good day ,Thank you so much. Sincerely, EMO TOURS EGYPT

    Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur: 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, Sakkara and Dahshur cost?

    +

    Prices start at $33 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, Sakkara and Dahshur 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, Sakkara and Dahshur worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 209 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 Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur?

    +

    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, Sakkara and Dahshur 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, Sakkara and Dahshur?

    +

    Around 73 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, Sakkara and Dahshur 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 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.

    What is included in Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur?

    +

    Included: Hotel Pickup & Drop Off; Guide on site; Entry Fees; Bottle of Water; and All Taxes & Services. Not included: Tipping; and Sun hat for sun protection. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
