Great pyramid trip
Wonderful experience. Our guide Youssef and driver Khalil made us very welcome. They made it very easy to visit and understand some if the history of these iconic buildings. They were very accommodating to our interests. The lunch was also very good with some traditional foods. It's a long drive from Alexandria, but well worth it.

We booked a private tour...
We booked a private tour and were looking forward to this tour, but a couple weeks prior to it, we were told by the tour operator that other guests would be present. The reason was « a lack of guides ». After chatting with the tour operator we understood that It would be a semi-private tour for the same price as the private tour…. Arriving from a cruise in Alexandria the guide was on time and easy to find at the designated location. The tour operator had previously mentioned that the « car would be larger » so we expected at least a minivan (6 passengers) and were a bit surprised to be invited to get in a regular car which had retractable seats in the trunk. Barely enough room for our legs for a 5-hour drive that day from Alexandria to Cairo and back. The guide, described to be an Egyptologist seemed to be very knowledgeable but we expected he would give us a little context about Alexandria, Cairo and the wonderfull history of Egypt during the long car drive. Unfortunately, apart from answering our questions, he was totally silent the whole drive. We felt that although knowledgeable he was somewhat new to the tour and had very few things to say. After arriving in Cairo The tour of the pyramids was also a disappointment. The guide’s English was very difficult to understand. He was passionate about stones and irrigation …but we wanted to learn about the Egyptian dynasties and the history in the making of those wonders. We felt like we were back in college in front of an eminent scholar lacking communication skills needed to teach. At the end of the visit, we waited more than 30 minutes on the side of the road (temperature 106 F) for the driver to pick us up…. Only to learn after questioning the guide that the delay was because the driver was lost in Cairo. We arrived for lunch at what was supposed to be « a high quality restaurant » (which was only a simple buffet). The guide wanted us to pay for the meal although it was included in the tour description. We refused and it was an uncomfortable situation. After that we insisted on going back directly to the cruise ship, not having any energy left for the rest of this adventure. We wanted to see the pyramids once in our lifetime and we did. It would probably have been easier to take a taxi. We do not recommend this tour and we feel we have been taken advantage of by the tour operator.
Response from the operator: I deeply apologize for this . That there has been lack of guides and cars . That's why we asked you before if it is okay to make another 2 persons join your tour . Also we have got large minivan but unfortuntaley there has been accidnet in the road and if we waited it , we would have missed our visit to cairo . I have taken an action against this guide and driver . This was the last time to work with us ! And I apologize again for this

This was an adventure!
This was booked as a private tour. The tour operator messaged in advance, stating they were short of guides and asking if two people could join us. We agreed. The operator stated we would have a van or vehicle that could accommodate the larger group. The vehicle ended up being a small SUV with a very cramped third row, for six people. The drive to Giza is 2.5 hours each way. The guide was very nice, however he did not speak much on the ride to Giza, unless we asked a question. The pyramids were amazing and the meal that was included was decent. The driver had a hard time finding the pickup location at the end of the Sphinx tour, which meant we were waiting in 105 degree heat for a while. It would have been nice to get a little more information and history on the way Giza. Seeing the pyramids and sphinx was a bucket list experience. However, this tour could have provided more comfortable transport and been a bit more informative.
Response from the operator: We deeply apologize for this . But the problem is that there has been load on that day that's why we have send to ask you if it is okay or not to make another 2 guests join your tour . We apologize for this and we will do our best to make this experinece much better .

Private Tour Giza Pyramids & Sphinx from Alexandria Port & Hotels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.
How much does Private Tour Giza Pyramids & Sphinx from Alexandria Port & Hotels cost?
+

How long does Private Tour Giza Pyramids & Sphinx from Alexandria Port & Hotels take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Alexandria is not rushed.
Is Private Tour Giza Pyramids & Sphinx from Alexandria Port & Hotels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alexandria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour Giza Pyramids & Sphinx from Alexandria Port & Hotels?
+

Is Private Tour Giza Pyramids & Sphinx from Alexandria Port & Hotels suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Giza Pyramids & Sphinx from Alexandria Port & Hotels?
+
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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

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 Alexandria?
+
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 Alexandria?
+
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?
+
