    Long day packed with a lot of adventures and an experienced guidewith a

    Sayed was very knowledgeable and made sure we got the best experience for the cost. Stick with Sayed and don't stray! Climbing the pyramid was hot and a bit arduous. Stopping to check out the local oils was a unique experience as was seeing how papyrus was made. It was a long day and would have been longer if Sayed didnt know all the short cuts

    Response from the operator: Dear Kerry, Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted that your day in Egypt was filled with so many memorable adventures and unique experiences. Sayed will be very happy to hear your kind words about his knowledge, guidance, and ability to help you make the most of your time throughout the day. From climbing the pyramid to discovering local oils and traditional papyrus making, these moments create such a special connection to Egypt’s culture and history 😊 We’re especially glad the planning and shortcuts helped make such a full day smoother and more enjoyable for you. Thank you again for choosing WOW TOURS EGYPT, and we hope to welcome you back again someday for more unforgettable adventures. Warm regards, Maya Darwish Guest Experience Manager WOW TOURS EGYPT

    Day in Egypt well taken advantage of

    The experience was great, we only had one day to be in Egypt, as we came by cruise, and made the most of it with this tour. The guide Mohamed (Momo), was an Egyptologist with a lot of knowledge, who adapted to our preferences and needs; very friendly, like the driver, Mustafa. We saw a lot of places and without hurry, they also worried about waiting for the boat to arrive and that we would arrive on time to return. Exceptional, I would definitely recommend it and WOW tours Egypt is a Reliable Enterprise

    Response from the operator: Estimados Javier y Michell, Muchas gracias por su hermosa reseña. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que pudieron aprovechar al máximo su único día en Egipto y que la experiencia fue tan especial para ustedes. Mohamed “Momo” y Mustafa estarán muy felices de leer sus amables palabras. Hacer que nuestros huéspedes disfruten el viaje con tranquilidad, flexibilidad y atención personalizada es exactamente lo que buscamos en WOW TOURS EGYPT. Nos encanta saber que pudieron descubrir tantos lugares sin prisas y sentirse seguros y bien atendidos desde la llegada hasta el regreso al crucero. Muchas gracias por su recomendación y esperamos darles la bienvenida nuevamente en Egipto algún día para otra aventura inolvidable. Warm regards, Maya Darwish Guest Experience Manager WOW TOURS EGYPT

    Wonderfull, knowledgeable experience Nile cruise with Mr. Sayed

    About few years back I Dr. Akhtar, my wife Naseem Akhtar from Pakistan and a couple from America , all of us were seniors citizens. We took 7night Nile cruise tour probably stating from Aswan to Cairo. Our Tour guide was Mr. Sayed. We found him very intelligent, Courteous and through gentlemen of manners. He was well educated and well versed with ancient Egyptology. I am sure tours companies of Eygpt will be proud of his company which will increase the credibility of Egyptian tour Industry. Unfortunately your Questioner No 3 other then Year 2021. so I have no Choice for right years

    Response from the operator: Dear Dr. Akhtar and Mrs. Naseem Akhtar, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review. We are truly delighted that your 7-night Nile journey became such a memorable experience for you and your friends.

    Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from Cairo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.

    How much does Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from Cairo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from Cairo 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from Cairo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from Cairo 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from Cairo?

    +

    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 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from 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.

    What is included in Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara & Memphis Tour from Cairo?
