Bad tour with Eman, highly recommend getting another guide!

The sites are fun, the van was nice, but Eman was not very helpful. She took us to the sites and gave us a brief explanation, and then left us on our own. We did not even visit the Sphinx. We drove by, and took a few pictures. When I asked her why we didn't go down to the Sphinx, she said we couldn't, even though I was looking at other tourist at the Sphinx. This is the lowlight of the entire vacation, as this was likely our only trip to Egypt. She was much more interested in taking us to shops where she received kickbacks. When we did not want to buy anything from those shops, and we wanted to go elsewhere, she got mad. I do not recommend getting a tour with Eman.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the sites and the vehicle, but we are truly sorry that the guiding experience did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize that you were not properly accompanied during the visits. Our guides are expected to stay with guests, provide clear explanations, and ensure a fully guided and interactive experience. We are also very concerned to hear that you were not able to properly visit the Sphinx. This is one of the main highlights, and it should have been clearly explained and included as part of your experience. Additionally, we regret that you felt uncomfortable during shopping stops. These visits should always be optional and should never take priority over the main attractions or the guest’s preferences. Your feedback is extremely important to us, and we will address these points internally to ensure a more professional, respectful, and guest-focused experience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention

Pyramids Galore!

I am with my wife and two children and we’ve just had the most amazing fantastic day going to see all the pyramids. Started the morning at the Giza complex visiting the great pyramid of geezer and the Sphinx. Then onward to Dahshur to see the Bent pyramid and the red pyramid. A visit inside the Red pyramid. Then a quick stopover at Memphis and a final stop at Saqqara. Somewhere we also fitted in lunch. Also not to forget the camel ride!!! Our guide, Wael Kamouna was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject also made it enjoyable for my two girls. This was a trip a few days after the unfortunate bombing which killed a number of tourists near the Giza pyramids but felt entirely safe and did not feel anxious at all. Thoroughly recommend this tour with Wael!! Wael if you ever read this thank you for such a fantastic day!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! 🌟 We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your private tour with Guide. The guide will be delighted to know that you appreciated the experience, Creating enjoyable memories and helping guests capture great photos is always an important part of the journey! 📸✨ Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back to Egypt again soon for more unforgettable adventures

Private Guided Tour for Families to Saqqara Dahshur and Giza including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.

How much does Private Guided Tour for Families to Saqqara Dahshur and Giza including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo cost?

+

Prices start at $15 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 Guided Tour for Families to Saqqara Dahshur and Giza including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo 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 Guided Tour for Families to Saqqara Dahshur and Giza including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 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 Guided Tour for Families to Saqqara Dahshur and Giza including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo?

+

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 Guided Tour for Families to Saqqara Dahshur and Giza including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo 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 Guided Tour for Families to Saqqara Dahshur and Giza including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo?

+

Around 1 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 Guided Tour for Families to Saqqara Dahshur and Giza including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo 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.
