Fantastic week long trip to Egypt!
I planned a smaller trip to Egypt for my father as a surprise birthday present. MoMo with Travelish was one of the day tours I had booked, and reached out to me to see if I had any special requests he could make happen. After talking some to him, he was very polite and helpful, and I decided to cancel the rest of my plans and book just through Travelish along with expanding our trip. Travelish arranged pickup and drop off to the airport, along with all the tours. Due to last minute flight changes, we ended up having an extra day. Instead of wasting the extra day, MoMo made additional plans for a day trip to Alexandria from Cairo with less than 4 days notice. He also helped me to surprise my father with a hot air balloon ride over Luxor! Very polite and helpful, and fantastic guides as well. We had Doma in Cairo for the pyramids, Seqqara, the museums, the Citadel, and Coptic Cairo tours, and Essam in Luxor for the temples and Valley of the Kings. Both of these guides were super friendly, very knowledgeable, and easy to work with! Hope to come back soon, and definitely will use Travelish again!

Amazing experience
We spent three days in Cairo and it was the most amazing experience. Our tour guide was Mohammed Doma and he was so patient and so kind with us during the entire trip, we have no words to thank him enough. He is very smart, answered all of our questions about the culture, the country, the religion. I hope all people can have your guides like him, it makes all the different in the trip. Our time in Cairo was definitely enlightening. When we can back, we will definitely want to stay with him again! The travelish agency made all our desires come true even when I thought it was impossible, they helped us through the the entire trip and wanted to made sure everything was perfect for us. I’m really impressed by everything

Great 2 day tour in Cairo
We had a great 2 day tour of Cairo with Travelish Tours and our guide Manar. We went to Egyptian Museum and Pyramids of Giza on day 1, and did a falucca boat trip on Nile + Coptic Cairo + Islamic Cairo overview on day 2. Manar was knowledgeable, told us a lot about Egyptian history and took nice pictures!

Very kind and knowledgeable guide
Our guide Manar was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating; it is clear she is very passionate about history and Coptic art. Our driver Hassan also did a great job. Will definitely use Travelish again on our next trip to Egypt. :)

Pyramids of Giza &Sphinx – Citadel – Coptic Cairo Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Pyramids of Giza &Sphinx – Citadel – Coptic Cairo Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $63 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 Pyramids of Giza &Sphinx – Citadel – Coptic Cairo Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Pyramids of Giza &Sphinx – Citadel – Coptic Cairo Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Pyramids of Giza &Sphinx – Citadel – Coptic Cairo Tour?
+
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 Pyramids of Giza &Sphinx – Citadel – Coptic Cairo Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pyramids of Giza &Sphinx – Citadel – Coptic Cairo Tour?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pyramids of Giza &Sphinx – Citadel – Coptic Cairo Tour 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 ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, 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.
