Giza tour
Great tour of the pyramids and temples of Giza. I got my tickets and got in easily. Having a guide keeps all the scammers off of you. I would recommend getting a guide when you visit.

Awesome experience in Giza, Memphis and Sakkara!
Wonderful experience with my Tour guide Heidy at the Pyramids in Giza, Sakkara and Memphis. Heidi was super friendly, very knowledgeable on Egypt history, and an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. I highly recommend her as a tour guide!!! Thanks also to Habibi for coordinating my day well and for easy communication!

An Amazing day out!
Our tour guide Heidi was lovely and very knowledgeable. Our driver was incredible and took us safely through this crazy traffic:) we saw so much and all our extra wishes were fulfilled promptly. The kids loved it too! We even saw some extra sights due to Heidi’s connections at the site. They even came super early so we could potentially start a little earlier. Thank you so much for everything!

But it would be better if you could give us more time to appreciate the pyramids.
The driver and the tour guide received us with a very warm attitude. The atmosphere of the whole trip was very pleasant. The guide's explanation was very professional. They waited for us patiently on the way and helped us take pictures.

Their prices are not expensive
The trip took 8 hours and was full of wonderful places and views as it is nice to visit a country the size of Egypt, in fact, I always recommend to any of my colleagues that if he wants to spend a vacation with his family, he should visit Egypt

Private Giza Pyramids Tour with Expert Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Giza Pyramids Tour with Expert Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $78 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 Giza Pyramids Tour with Expert Guide take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Giza Pyramids Tour with Expert Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 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 Giza Pyramids Tour with Expert Guide?
+
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 Tour with Expert Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Giza Pyramids Tour with Expert Guide?
+
Around 3 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Giza Pyramids Tour with Expert Guide 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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.
