Tour to pyramids and sphinx
It was good experience the reponsible. Called me to let me know what is available But the first question if i have forgien passport not egyptian and he was shocked that i dont have because according to him egyptian authorities will not allow his cars to enter if we are egyptian !!!!! So first Viator should make that statement clear when booking As i paid the same amount and i should have the same cars as everyone Second the tourguide Mr khaled was very nice he picked us with his car and was so cooperative and kids loved him First we should have detalied program about the tour We should have booklet with information about the places we will visit And also it will be better if we had all options of tickets of pyramids entry Overall experience was nice But i will not repeat it
Response from the operator: due to Egyptian tourism asked not to ride in touristic van for Egyptian peope , i sent you guide and private car and you change time and location many time , i didnt charge you for more , as you mention the guide was perfect be fair !

Awesome experience all-round.
This was my 4th visit to the Giza Pyramids and my best ever. Ehab, our guide, was very knowledgeable and smoothed the way through the vendors and security with grace and ease. He also took some beautiful pictures that we will always treasure. Between him and Ahmed, the driver, we had the most enjoyable time and I can recommend them without any hesitation. Just book them, you won't regret it.
Response from the operator: thanks for your lovely review hope we were at your expectations hope you enjoy your time in Egypt

Good tour and driver, poor management
The experience was nearly a disaster due to bad communication with whoever talks to the customers. We had to try to change the pick up time in one hour - willing to sacrifice this hour from the tour of course -, but there was no answer, so guide and driver didn’t have a clue of reasons for delay. In the end, they were very understanding and saved the day for us, considering we were travelling with a 2 years old toddler. Egyptologist guide was quite knowledgeable and took us to the Papyrus shop and Essence shop, both not included in the itinerary but we actually enjoyed. I was ready to leave a very sad review initially, but the experience itself with guide and driver exceeded our expectations. If I would book again with this company? Maybe, but I would make sure to have some proper contact number before. For who is responsible for the communication, it needs a lot of improvement and better customer service skills.
Response from the operator: We hope that we were able to meet your expectation , looking forward to see you soon in Egypt

What a great day !!
Wonderful day. I took it at the last minute to book and I was lucky enough to be able to do the visit with Thérèsa. Excellent explanations of the pyramids and the ancient history of Egypt. thank you to Mohamed our driver, very patient, who waits for us between each visit.

Wonderful! Very professional, friendly and overall great.
Guys, book with them!! Service of such quality is rare to find, especially at such price. Everything was professional and smooth: they picked us up in time, car was comfortable, the driver (Ahmed) accurate. Before this tour, we had mostly bad experience with local service (hotel and taxi), and we were somewhat tense when first got in the car, but Ehab (our guide) told us right away that we are totally cared for, anything we want, just need to ask, they will make it happen and we are here to enjoy. It was such a nice feeling for change! All the time we felt so welcomed, he keep his eyes on us at all times, making sure to keep annoying traders at bay and explaining history facts on the way. As much as we are into self-organized trips, but a car+guide tour in Giza is a must. Saves a lot of energy and time. Giza is huge, overcrowded with tourists and swamped with annoying traders. We were super happy we chose to book the tour! We ended up booking Islamic/Koptic tour with them too. Totally recommend!! Ребята, оооочень-ооочень редко в Египте можно встретить такой сервис за эти деньги. Бронируйте смело!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private tour Giza pyramids and Sphinx: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private tour Giza pyramids and Sphinx cost?
+
Prices start at $5 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 tour Giza pyramids and Sphinx 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Private tour Giza pyramids and Sphinx worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private tour Giza pyramids and Sphinx?
+
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 tour Giza pyramids and Sphinx 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 tour Giza pyramids and Sphinx?
+
Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private tour Giza pyramids and Sphinx 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.
