Interesting
Very interesting. Enjoyed the trip BUT be very careful for the places the guides take you to "show" you how they make paper or carpets. Those prices are inflated x 10 (we bought papyrus for EL2000, when it cost EL100 in cairo, same thing. Same with the carpets, luckily we didnt buy that. We found mist guides are very oushy. Just stand you ground
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. Please note that there is a difference between authentic handmade items and mass-produced souvenirs, which explains the variation in prices. Guests are always free to browse or decline purchases, and shopping stops are optional. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to ensure a comfortable experience for all travelers.

A evitar , avoid , a eviter
Unfortunately, he left me waiting at the airport, he never showed up and he answered me 6 hours later.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review, but this is a tour of the pyramids. I think you are talking about something else that has nothing to do with this tour.

The funniest day
was our first day in Cairo and it was so fun. The best day of our trip. We wanted to see and visit the pyramids the most and it was an excellent idea start since the oldest. If you want to visit the Giza pyramids, there are different options, you can do it by walk, by car, with horse or camel. The guide who came with us inside Giza was a kind person and a very good photographer which one was a contact from Timour. Timour was our driver, we visited all with him. He is a kind persone and very careful with all the details. He was always very attentive to us!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review, and thank you for that day. I hope to see you next time

Excellent 7 star
I would start with meeting and greeting ahmed, he was really friendly, chatty He was helping me guiding me explaining me While showing me around various historical places. I am well impressed with his knowledge, experience and politeness. He exceeded my expectations, by protecting me with cons and not pushing meto buy things. He was advising me where to go for shopping and took me to the various shops. On the other hand his boss taimur was constantly in touch with me and made sure i am ok and happy with there services. The care and love they have given me is unforgettable. Thank you ahmed and taimur for making my trip memorable and i hope to see you soon.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review, and thank you for that day. I hope to see you next time

Private Tour to Giza pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Tour to Giza pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis cost?
+
Prices start at $13 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 to Giza pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis 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 to Giza pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 29 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 to Giza pyramids, Saqqara and 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 Giza pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Giza pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis?
+
Around 10 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 to Giza pyramids, Saqqara and 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 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.
