Egypt’s main attraction!
For someone who loves ancient history as much as I do, the tour agency sent me the perfect guide for my day. Amira, without a script, walk me through details on each of these ancient sites. Many of which I was partially familiar with, but now I have a much deeper understanding. Thank you so much Amira for your wisdom and guidance while visiting these are inspiring monuments.

What a waste of a day
This was sold as a 9 hour (approx..) tour. We were picked up at 8am but Mohammed who started off my reprimanding us as he’d been waiting for us since 7.30am. The agreed pick up time was 8am. We then had a rushed tour of the pyramids at Giza & had left the sight by 9.15am despite the listing saying we would have 3 hours there. Mohammed told us very few facts about the site & seemed only interested in taking a photograph of us at each place & moving swiftly on. When we arrived at Saqqara we were taken to the Pyramid of Unas but not to either of Pyramid of Teti or Mastaba of Ti. Again, we were told very few facts about the site & the ‘guide’ was just interested in taking a few photos of us & then moving swiftly on. We had finished at this site by 11am & Mohammed pointed out the Bent & Red pyramids at Dahshur which could be seen in the distance. He said we could visit if we wanted to but didn’t have to. I’m not sure what else he thought we were going to do as there was only Dahshur & Memphis left on the itinerary. We said we wanted to go & again he told us very few facts about either of these pyramids & just wanted to take a photograph of us & then move on. We refused & walked on our own to both pyramids while both the guide & driver waited at the car. We then went to Memphis & at this point Mohammed didn’t even bother to tell us any facts or offer to take photographs. He just waited at the entrance for us. At this point it was only midday so we took our time walking around but were still finished just after 1pm. We were then taken back to our hotel & dropped off shortly after 2pm. So, a 6-hour excursion not 9 hours accompanied by a driver & a driver’s companion who can speak English & just wants to take photographs & get you back to your hotel as soon as possible. What a waste of a day. If I could I’d give this tour 0 stars.

I am happy that I booked...
I am happy that I booked the whole day tour for all pyramids and not only Giza! Each of them gives you a different view of ancient times. I asked to start at 7:30 instead of 8 am, so we çan avoid big groups. They kindly accepted it. Mahmoud was my guid and Sultan the driver, super nice people. Mahmoud, in some sites, was changing the order of visit, to avoid mass groups, so that he can explain in quiet. I found it very pragmatic. In Saqqara there were some works going on and he reminded me a few times to mind my steps by adding safety 1st !! a very important mindset for a guide ! They didn't force me to go to shops, despite of my experience with some other tours in other countries And even I asked them where I can by egyption Lenin and they happily took me there For historical explanations; I am a nerdy person and I could have absorbed even more.

Private Day Trip To Giza Pyramids, Memphis City Dahshur & Saqqara Pyramids: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Day Trip To Giza Pyramids, Memphis City Dahshur & Saqqara Pyramids 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 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 Trip To Giza Pyramids, Memphis City Dahshur & Saqqara Pyramids take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Trip To Giza Pyramids, Memphis City Dahshur & Saqqara Pyramids worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 56 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 Trip To Giza Pyramids, Memphis City Dahshur & Saqqara 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 Trip To Giza Pyramids, Memphis City Dahshur & Saqqara Pyramids suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip To Giza Pyramids, Memphis City Dahshur & Saqqara Pyramids?
+
Around 20 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

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.
