Zizou’s tour
This was part of our 10days tour in Egypt so we had experience with 4 different guides and we had Zizou for this specific day tour and he’s by far the best guide for the whole trip for us - we realised how important it is to have a great guide and how different the experience could end up with a different guide. Zizou is well organised, enthusiastic and passionate which made our day much more interesting and exciting. He is incredibly knowledgeable and fantastic at making the history interesting, and he paced and organised our day perfectly so we didn’t feel rushed or overwhelmed. He is also a great photographer if you like pictures! We’re very happy with the tour and would highly recommend Zizou to anyone traveling in Cairo!

First day in Cairo….4 hour tour well $pent
My first day in Cairo, I chose this tour in the morning. Enas and her driver pick me up at my hotel promptly @ 4pm. Her driver was a pro at negotiating thru the harry Cairo traffic. Since this was a 4pm tour I got to view Cairo during daylight and the beautiful night lights of my tour. Enas is a lovely tour guide and very personable. I give her 5 stars as my tour was very enjoyable and learnt a lot about Cairo from her. I highly recommend Enas and this tour

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Walking Tour of El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili in Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Walking Tour of El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili in Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Walking Tour of El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili in Cairo take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Walking Tour of El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili in Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Walking Tour of El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili in Cairo?
+
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 Walking Tour of El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili in Cairo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Walking Tour of El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili in Cairo?
+
Around 6 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Walking Tour of El Moez Street & Khan El Khalili in Cairo 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.
