Great private tour!!
My guide Heba was so knowledgeable, patient, kind and friendly! She offered to take pictures of me in all of the locations and did such a great job at it! I forgot to bring cash for using the bathroon and she uaed her money for me, which is so kind!! It is very relaxing to be in her company as she is very efficient with entering the plazas to the pyramids, which made for little waiting time! I cannot recommend her enough! Her communication is great as she tells you exactly what you are doing and how long you are spending at the area so you know exactly what to expect dueing your tour! I also felt very safe as a solo female traveler on this tour, visiting Egypt for the first time! 100% recommend Heba as a guide and this tour!!!

Excellent guide and great tour
I wasn’t very involved in booking this excursion but it was brilliant. Our guide, Sabry, was friendly, very knowledgeable, took some excellent photos and just knew how to make the most of a potentially big day for tourists without it becoming exhausting or overwhelming. The pick up and drop off were both easy and on time, and we packed a huge amount in - visiting the Giza panoramic viewpoint by camel, the Pyramids (including going inside), the Sphinx, lunch, Memphis and Saqqara within about 7 hours. Having a private guide made it so much more informative than relying on a guidebook and having the driver meant we were as comfortable as possible in Egypt in 40°C! Thank you to Sabry for a fantastic day which really did deliver on everything we could have hoped for and more.

Our guide Heba was...
Our guide Heba was friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We had to skip the last part due to heat. Lunch was streetfood falafel sandwiches which we ate in the car but it was tasty.

Why this scores 96
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to explore Giza Pyramids - Saqqara -Memphis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Tour to explore Giza Pyramids - Saqqara -Memphis cost?
+
Prices start at $9 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 Tour to explore Giza Pyramids - Saqqara -Memphis 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 Tour to explore Giza Pyramids - Saqqara -Memphis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 96 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 320 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to explore Giza Pyramids - Saqqara -Memphis?
+
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 to explore Giza Pyramids - Saqqara -Memphis suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to explore Giza Pyramids - Saqqara -Memphis?
+
Around 112 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 Tour to explore Giza Pyramids - Saqqara -Memphis 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, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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.
