Amazing day with ERT
I booked a one-day tour to Saqqara and the Grand Egyptian Museum with Egypt Rest Tours and it was an excellent experience. Everything was well organized from the booking process until the end of the trip. The vehicle was comfortable and air-conditioned, and the driver was punctual and professional. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and explained the history of Saqqara and Egyptian antiquities in an engaging and clear way. The visit to Saqqara was truly impressive, and the Grand Egyptian Museum was one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. The itinerary was well planned with enough time at each site to explore, take photos, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. I would like to thank Egypt Rest Tours for their excellent organization and attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth and enjoyable day tour in Cairo.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy you enjoyed your day with us in Saqqara and the Grand Egyptian Museum. It was a pleasure having you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. Hope to see you again in Egypt soon

Day tour in Dahshur with ERT Team
I booked a full-day Saqqara and Dahshur tour with Egypt Rest Tours and had a really smooth experience. Everything was well organized, the car was comfortable, and the guide explained things in a clear and simple way. I especially liked having time to explore on my own without feeling rushed. Dahshur was the highlight—very quiet and peaceful compared to other places.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with Egypt Rest Tours. We’re glad you enjoyed the Saqqara and Dahshur tour and had a comfortable, relaxed day with our team. Dahshur is truly one of Egypt’s hidden gems, and we’re happy it was a highlight for you. We hope to see you again on another tour soon.

Beautiful stay with the agency ERT
The agency ERT has remarkably organized our stay of 8 days in Egypt. Our 3day visit to Cairo was fantastic with our guide, and our private drivers to make the most of the stay with confidence. Bravo to the agency for the organization from France several months before, respecting my wishes for this trip. On site, it was very well organized as soon as we picked up at the airport. It is a real comfort that I recommend to all.
Response from the operator: Chère Carole, Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique retour Nous sommes très heureux d’apprendre que vous avez passé un séjour de 8 jours en Égypte aussi agréable avec ERT, et que votre expérience au Caire avec votre guide et vos chauffeurs privés vous a permis de profiter pleinement de votre voyage en toute sérénité. Votre satisfaction concernant l’organisation depuis la France, ainsi que le respect de vos souhaits, nous touche particulièrement. Nous mettons beaucoup d’importance à la préparation en amont afin d’offrir une expérience fluide et personnalisée à chacun de nos voyageurs. Nous sommes également ravis que tout se soit déroulé parfaitement dès votre arrivée à l’aéroport, et que vous ayez apprécié ce confort tout au long de votre séjour. Un grand merci pour votre recommandation et votre confiance Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt en Égypte pour une nouvelle belle aventure

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Luxury Cairo Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara & Memphis Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Luxury Cairo Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara & Memphis Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $8 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 Luxury Cairo Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara & Memphis Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Luxury Cairo Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara & Memphis Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 Luxury Cairo Pyramids Sphinx 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 Luxury Cairo Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara & Memphis Tour 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 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Luxury Cairo Pyramids Sphinx Saqqara & Memphis Tour?
+
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 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Luxury Cairo Pyramids Sphinx 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 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, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel Ride, Lunch & Inside pyramids. 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.
