An Authentic Egypt Experience with Noga Tours & Pleasant Point Travel LLC
Booking with Noga Tours was such a seamless and rewarding experience. From the very beginning, Alfred in the office made the booking process simple and stress-free. He handled every detail with professionalism, making it easy to confirm arrangements for our group of 16 guests. Once we arrived in Egypt, we were fortunate to have Ahmed Salem as our tour guide. He was truly outstanding, knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the rich history and culture of Egypt. His explanations brought each site to life, and his guidance gave us one of the most authentic travel experiences I’ve ever had. From the awe-inspiring Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza, to the treasures of the Egyptian Museum, to visiting a historic mosque, Ahmed ensured we experienced Egypt beyond the surface. Every stop felt meaningful, immersive, and unforgettable. As a travel advisor with Pleasant Point Travel LLC, I’ve been to many destinations, but this trip with Noga Tours stands out as one of the most authentic and memorable experiences I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering Egypt, you’ll be in excellent hands!
Response from the operator: Dear Amy, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. It was a real pleasure working with you and your wonderful group. Your kind words about Alfred and Ahmed mean a great deal to us. We're especially happy to hear that Ahmed helped make your visit to Egypt so meaningful by sharing not only the history, but also the culture and spirit of each place you visited. Knowing that, as a travel advisor, you consider this one of your most authentic and memorable travel experiences is truly an honor. Thank you for placing your trust in Noga Tours and for recommending us to your clients and fellow travelers. We look forward to welcoming you and your guests back to Egypt anytime. Warm regards, Noga Tours Egypt Team

Rushed, hustled, ended up costing more than triple the 56$ price
We got rushed and hustled all day… Maybe there is to much to see or maybe we weren’t lucky that day… Ended up being charged the « official price » of 500 Egyptian pounds for a 10-15 minutes camel ride at the Giza pyramid and all our pictures were bad. Most didn’t event get the full camel in the picture or the camel was completely blocking the pyramids.. I guess this will be one less memory. Glad I took pictures and videos in selfie mode otherwise I would have had nothing showing me, the pyramids and the camel (including it’s face because they always cut something out of the picture). They we were showed here is a wall, here is a carving but anyway we (Egypt) lost everything to time factors, so no history… Then headed to lunch on the side of the road which had good taste but of course the guide didn’t mention any price and we were rushed because of « not enough time for everything » and headed up being charged 600 Egyptian pounds which is more than a buffet at a 5star hotel in Luxor or Aswan… highly doubt this is a normal price as hotels with direct view of pyramids were charging around 15US for the same thing. Headed to saqqara and Dashur were we almost missed the more important. Had a quick look at the pyramid of Djoser and it was time to leave. Glad we were pissed at that point from paying 600 for lunch and made it felt because we would have completely missed the pyramid of Teti which or guide didn’t put in his itinerary (15 second detour included in the same ticket as Djoser). All along we were told that it wasn’t worth it to go in this pyramid or see that site so it felt like we couldn’t trust what we were said. This was so confirmed when we were hustled for the camel ride, lunch and then at the end when pushed for tip which at that point we didn’t want to leave anything due to our bad experience but still left something…

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ultimate Pyramids Tour: Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Ultimate Pyramids Tour: Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Ultimate Pyramids Tour: Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Ultimate Pyramids Tour: Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 15 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 Ultimate Pyramids Tour: Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur?
+
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 Ultimate Pyramids Tour: Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Ultimate Pyramids Tour: Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur?
+
Around 5 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ultimate Pyramids Tour: Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur 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.
