Giza
A truly unique and unforgettable experience! Visiting the Pyramids of Giza feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by history and mystery. The sight of the majestic pyramids and the Sphinx is absolutely breathtaking, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about their history and construction. I recommend going early in the morning to avoid the heat and fully enjoy the atmosphere. A must-see if you’re visiting Egypt!

Hotel Stay
I booked 3 tours with the hotel's tourism and they took care of me with good price. The tour guide was excellent. The receptionist were very friendly and welcoming. Best part of the trip was the hotel upgraded my room to deluxe for booking 3 tours with them and they gave a free drop off from hotel to Airport. I enjoyed my stay and hope to come back again!

Rich historical tour
Crawled inside of pyramids and experienced the historical influences that created the features of the pyramids. Saw big statues and learned hieroglyphics for significance of markings.

Loved this tour
I loved my guides! Amina was so so sweet and she was so knowledgeable about everything we saw. She made me feel safe as a solo female and took so many pictures of me. My driver, Essam, was very nice too. I definitely recommend both of them!

Complete Failure
This was by far the worse tour we had in Egypt, and in our lives in general. First we got stalled by the hotel owner resulting in being late by 30 mins, he kept insisting on having a second cup of coffee and that they should wait on us. Then as soon as we got in the car, the guide (Mustafa) kept insisting that we must take a carriage to move around in the pyramids area, otherwise we would have to walk 2-3 hours with him and the driver. Complete lie. He started by telling us the price would be 100 USD pp (the whole tour cost 60 USD pp), but then it was "not mandatory" but "we had to take it". Then he dropped the price to 150 USD for the both of us, we kept telling him we did not want to take it nor we had the budget for this ridiculous price he kept insisting until he dropped the price to 20 USD pp. We did not fall into his trap, we used our two feet instead. And this was the "welcoming" to the tour. He scammed us with the "entrance" of one of the queen pyramids, he made us pay 100 LE to enter which we knew it was a scam we just didn't feel it was worth discussing it further. He also tried to scam us with lunch which he insisted it was not included in the price we paid. I had to call the hotel and verify that it was indeed included. The tour had two visits in shops which we were not informed and as we were running out of time we proposed not going to the shops and continue to the sites, but he could "control time" and make sure we visit all the sites without neglecting blaming us for being late and for wanting to take pictures. So spending as much time as we wanted in the shops was okay whereas spending 10 seconds in taking a picture was a big problem. While eating lunch, he finished first and just stood in front of us while we were still eating making us feel extremely uncomfortable. Then we went to Saqqara and Memphis but really I cannot recall ANYTHING from those sites because it was so rushed, the guy was talking as fast as he could and of course we couldn't understand anything at all. We reached Dashur Pyramid literally running because it was 15:57 and the closing time is at 16:00. We gave the keeper a small tip (much smaller than what we paid for the queen pyramid - which is by far smaller) for letting us go inside the pyramid. He kept telling us it was our fault for being late and for spending too much time around the sites taking pictures, but of course, he was not responsible for anything not even when I asked not to visit the shops because we didn't have time, but no, he could control time and take us to all the sites. So what is the point of going if you don't have time to breathe. He completely ruined the experience for us, we were really looking forward visiting those sites and this attitude really left us with a bitter taste. We did not get to enjoy visiting the sites for which Egypt is most famous for. And really the whole experience in this country was painted by failure in most aspects and I wouldn't recommend to any one visiting.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Private Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 25 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 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 Full-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 Full-Day Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara?
+
Around 9 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-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 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.
