Great day!
This was a really great experience. Our guide Hazem, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and was very happy to answer all our questions. He spoke very good english and was very kind, helping my elderly mother navigate through the sites we visited. I highly recommend this tour!

Great Day in Caro with Martina
The guide Martina contacted us the evening before the tour which is very helpful to arrange for meeting time and place. The driver and guide were punctual the morning of the tour. The day was seamless. The car was comfortable and we got to see and do everything we wanted. I highly recommend this tour and Martina as a guide.

The BEST guide and driver!
Muhammad and Ihab were the BEST! His English was perfect, he had excellent knowledge of Egyptian history, knew where to linger and where to speed up. He is an amazing Egyptologist!

Suggested tour and guide
We spent almost one full day to visit the Giza site and we had also a quick visit to Memphis. We suggest to arrive at site opening to enjoy the visit we less visitors and, if you want to enter in the Cheope pyramid, ask to do as first, buying tickets at entrance, and then visit the exteriors ( there is a lunch stop between 12-13). Memphis is a small site, with two/three masterpieces: it's worthwhile if you have spare time. The Guide Hazem is a professional with licence and is willing to follow your needs and interests. He speaks good English and he explains clearly the essential, without telling fancy stories as lots of guides do. In brief, we suggest to book this tour

Private Tour: Pyramids of Giza Memphis Saqqara with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Tour: Pyramids of Giza Memphis Saqqara with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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: Pyramids of Giza Memphis Saqqara with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7 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: Pyramids of Giza Memphis Saqqara with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 96 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 Tour: Pyramids of Giza Memphis Saqqara with Lunch?
+
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: Pyramids of Giza Memphis Saqqara with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Pyramids of Giza Memphis Saqqara with Lunch?
+
Around 34 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Pyramids of Giza Memphis Saqqara with Lunch 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.
