Great way to visit Saqqara, Memphis and Giza
As we wanted a bit more time and flexibility visiting the sites of Saqqara, Memphis and Giza, we booked the car + driver only option through Viator. Our driver Shadi was very courteous and helpful and gave some really useful advice about scheduling the trip including identifying the most convenient drop-off and pick-up points. We were able to explore all these fascinating sites without the time pressures you sometimes experience on larger group tours.

Go See the "Lesser" Famous Pyramids - It is Amazing
I customized my tour and did the lesser known pyramids which included the bent pyramid, the red pyramid, and Saqqara. I enjoyed the experience overall as the sites were quiet and almost completely empty which really allowed us to enjoy the sites. Our tour guide was Bushoy - he was very kind and patient and really helped us with our journey. We have small children who weren't particularly interested in entering in the pyramids and Bushoy was kind and stayed with them while the adults and older kids ventured inside. I appreciate how customizable this tour was and all the flexibility offered. I would highly recommend this tour/company to families with children and anyone else so that they are not tied to a big group and have to wait or spend more time than desired. We got to do everything we wished to do and more! Thank you to Bushoy and Hesham Tours.

VIPTour Giza pyramids ,Saqqara step pyramids & Memphis Old City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does VIPTour Giza pyramids ,Saqqara step pyramids & Memphis Old City cost?
+
Prices start at $14 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 VIPTour Giza pyramids ,Saqqara step pyramids & Memphis Old City 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 VIPTour Giza pyramids ,Saqqara step pyramids & Memphis Old City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 48 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 VIPTour Giza pyramids ,Saqqara step pyramids & Memphis Old City?
+
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 VIPTour Giza pyramids ,Saqqara step pyramids & Memphis Old City 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 VIPTour Giza pyramids ,Saqqara step pyramids & Memphis Old City?
+
Around 17 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 VIPTour Giza pyramids ,Saqqara step pyramids & Memphis Old City 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 Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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.
