Certainly and worth the effort, nice experience
Get your guide is a very good travel organizer, we are very satisfied with them, we always book our excursions with them, we can't find cheaper. For the excursion itself, from Hurghada to Cairo, I recommend going by plane, it's a very long journey by bus. Once arrived at the pyramids, you quickly forget the bus ride, just beautiful. Take the time to see everything, then I didn't like lunch, but everyone has their own opinion on it. Visit the museum, beautiful, very big but not a minute bored, so much to discover, just beautiful. I'm going back again
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

Great service
Big thank you for this trip, we had great time. The driver was excellent, polite and careful and he even bought some water and Egyptian sweets for us. He came on time and the car was comfortable and clean as well. Everything was well organized, we had enough time to see the beauty in Cairo. Thanks 😊

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx and New Grand Egyptian Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx and New Grand Egyptian Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Giza Pyramids Sphinx and New Grand Egyptian Museum 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx and New Grand Egyptian Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 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 Giza Pyramids Sphinx and New Grand Egyptian Museum?
+
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 Giza Pyramids Sphinx and New Grand Egyptian Museum suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx and New Grand Egyptian Museum?
+
Around 4 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx and New Grand Egyptian Museum 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.
