GREAT TOUR (do your research before)
I had a wonderful time during my tour with Hajar! They made an exception to pick me up from the airport and the driver waited patiently there even though my flight was delayed. We did the tour of Giza and Sphinx but they expressed concerns about being too late for Memphis and Saqqara as both close at 4pm (this was was around 2pm) and suggested the Museum. I did not have wifi so could not see that Saqqara was actually open 24/7. I would have loved to see the other 2 monuments but had a fine time at the Museum. I told Hajar I wanted to buy some oils and she was kind enough to take me to a shop she knew. She also took me to an art shop where they show you how Papyrus paper is made. We made a stop at a jewelry shop which was fine but unnecessary as I didn't express interest and it was quite overpriced. Overall, it was a very good tour and I felt comfortable having a personal driver and tour guide as a solo traveler. The only note I would make is do your research on the sites and have conviction about what you want to see in case they try to sway you.

Excellent tour! Highly recommend!
My family and I toured with Marcous earlier today and had a fantastic time. He was the best tour guide — knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and patient, and we learned so much. As we had a bit of extra time (due to Marcous’s efficiency!) he also kindly took us to a carpet emporium in Saqqara and a perfumery in Giza. One of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Thank you, Marcous, for a wonderful tour!

Review of Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara and Memphis
We just returned from an enjoyable day visiting the pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Sakkara and Memphis. Our guide Marcus and driver Ahmed made the whole day fun and very informative. Marcus is very knowledgeable not only of the sights but also of Egypt. He was very pleasant, kind and extremely patient with answering all of our questions. He even was flexible enough to modify the schedule so we could visit a carpet factory in Sakkara and a perfumery in Giza both of which we recommend. We had a delicious lunch at a restaurant where all the food was really fresh and tasty. He recommended a few other sights in Cairo that we should visit and last but not the least, he took some great photographs of us at the pyramids. I highly recommend Egypt Pyramid Tours and the guide Marcus and driver Ahmed to anyone who is looking for a great experience.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids Sphinx Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids Sphinx Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 to Giza Pyramids Sphinx Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 to Giza Pyramids Sphinx Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 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 to Giza Pyramids Sphinx Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids?
+
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 Sphinx Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids Sphinx Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour to Giza Pyramids Sphinx Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids 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.
