Nice Tours ensured that we had a nice Nile tour
We booked our Nile cruise through Nice Tours and had Emil as tour guide. What a great combination and all went so smoothly and their communication regarding the logistics was great. Emil is such a great and well informed guide and assisted us with obtaining student tickets for our children at all sites.

Saqqara day and afternoon at Giza pyramids
Mohamed was a friendly and professional guide, reliable and informative and with a safe driver. He added personal touches of coffee and lunch which we specially liked. Also he waited with us, fed us and helped us onto the overnight sleeper train at Giza which was extra kind.

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Mohammed
My wife and I spent the day with Mohammed while visiting the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara followed by a visit to the Museum at Memphis. The day was well planned and went smooth. Mohammed was very friendly and even though not on the itinerary gave us the optiona to stop at an Egyptian Perfume Bazar and the added option of stopping off at some local rug markets. This day trip is perfect for those wanting to get out there and tick off a few bucket list items in Egypt.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis full day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis full day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $61 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 Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis full day tour 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 Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis full day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 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 Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis full day 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 Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis full day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis full day tour?
+
Around 5 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 Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis full day 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 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.
