Amazing Experience
My wife and I only had two days to spend in Cairo/Giza and we wanted to make the most of our time. We are so glad we chose to book a private tour with Your Egypt Tours. Everything went extremely smoothly from the first moment we contacted them. Mona, in charge of customer service, was extremely helpful, responsive and efficient for all of our questions and queries in advance of our arrival and they were able to accommodate all of our requests and to tailor the itinerary to our interests. We were met at the airport by our excellent tour leader, Ahmed, who helped us through the customs process and ensured, throughout our time in Cairo, that we had everything we need. Our Egyptologist guide, Mahmdouh, was also exceptional. As were both of the drivers we had, who skillfully and safely navigated through the “organized chaos”. The highlights were of course the sites, which easily exceeded our expectations. The unique experience of visiting the pyramids of Giza simply is one of the premiere travel experiences available today. A big thank you for everyone at Your Egypt Tours for making the experience stress-free, very safe and extra memorable.

Unforgettable private tour experience!
Your Egypt Tours was amazing in working with me to plan out exactly what I wanted to see during my private tour of Egypt. It was a very busy during the two days I had in the Cairo area, but I was able to see all of the main attractions while also not feeling rushed at any site to learn about the history of everything. My private tour included two nights in Cairo, one night in Luxor, and one night in Aswan. Your Egypt Tours was able to book my transportation (flights and private van) to each city and it handled the booking of all my hotel accommodations. This made my trip very relaxing and worry free. My Egyptologist in the Cairo area, Mamdouh Ismail, was amazing! He was able to answer the many different questions I had about each attraction we visited and the overall culture in Cairo. In addition, Mamdouh helped pick out some really good local restaurants for me to enjoy and he helped me order as well so there wasn't any stress of a language barrier. I would highly recommend Your Egypt Tours for any private or group tour for an unforgettable trip to Egypt!

Private two-day tour of Giza, Saqqara, and Cairo's top sites: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private two-day tour of Giza, Saqqara, and Cairo's top sites cost?
+
Prices start at $88 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 two-day tour of Giza, Saqqara, and Cairo's top sites take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 two-day tour of Giza, Saqqara, and Cairo's top sites worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private two-day tour of Giza, Saqqara, and Cairo's top sites?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 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 two-day tour of Giza, Saqqara, and Cairo's top sites suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private two-day tour of Giza, Saqqara, and Cairo's top sites?
+
Around 1 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private two-day tour of Giza, Saqqara, and Cairo's top sites 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.
