Dalida was incredible
We had the pleasure of touring the Pyramids and Sphinx with Dalida, and she was absolutely exceptional. It was 95 degrees outside, and she showed incredible patience, kindness, and care—especially toward my parents. She went above and beyond to make sure they were as comfortable as possible throughout the day. At one point, my dad was feeling overwhelmed by the heat, and Dalida thoughtfully got us ice cream to help cool him down. That level of attentiveness and genuine concern meant so much to our family. She also made the experience so enriching with her deep knowledge of Egyptian history. She explained everything in such an engaging and informative way, which made the tour even more memorable. Dalida truly looked after us and helped make our visit to these incredible landmarks a wonderful experience. We are so grateful for her warmth, professionalism, and generosity. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting Egypt!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad you enjoyed the trip with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Private Full Day Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Full Day Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $27 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 Full Day Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Full Day Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 Full Day Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour?
+
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 Full Day Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour?
+
Around 11 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full Day Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour 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.
