Very good experience
Our guide Ashur was very knowledgable about ancient egypt and the pyramids and told us many interesting facts and answered our questions. The driver was also very skilled and the car was nice and cool temperature. They guided us throughout the different places and gave clear instructions on what to expect. He was also honest about what was and wasnt worth our money like going inside the big piramid. We had a very good day exploring Giza and Saqqara. They also took us to carpet making store, papyrus paper and flowerpower oils. To learn about Egyptian daily life and culture. The people here were kind and though they did their best to sell you something of their product they stayed respectful. Overall we had a very good experience and felt very safe and cared for.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Great Giza and Saqqara Pyramids Day Tour with Private Egyptology Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does The Great Giza and Saqqara Pyramids Day Tour with Private Egyptology Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 The Great Giza and Saqqara Pyramids Day Tour with Private Egyptology Guide 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is The Great Giza and Saqqara Pyramids Day Tour with Private Egyptology Guide 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 2 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 The Great Giza and Saqqara Pyramids Day Tour with Private Egyptology Guide?
+
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 The Great Giza and Saqqara Pyramids Day Tour with Private Egyptology Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 17. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book The Great Giza and Saqqara Pyramids Day Tour with Private Egyptology Guide?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Great Giza and Saqqara Pyramids Day Tour with Private Egyptology Guide 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.
