Private Giza Pyramids, Saqqara & Memphis Tour with Local Lunch
Description
Discover ancient Egypt your way — with a private Egyptologist guide, personalized commentary, and zero hidden costs. This all-inclusive tour covers every detail: private transfers, entry fees, bottled water, lunch at a local restaurant, and comfortable A/C transport throughout. Unlike group tours that rush from site to site, your guide adapts the pace to your interests — whether you want extra time photographing the Sphinx at sunset or exploring Saqqara’s newly opened tombs. You’ll gain insider stories that few travelers ever hear, and your guide will happily take professional-quality photos of you at iconic spots. Authentic, flexible, and fully immersive — this is the Egyptian experience designed for travelers who crave depth, comfort, and connection. Join us and uncover the legends of Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis as they come alive before your eyes.

Itinerary
Marvel at the legendary Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. With your expert guide, uncover the mysteries of the Giza Plateau — from the symmetry of Khafre’s Pyramid to the enigmatic Great Sphinx, carved over 4,000 years ago. Capture panoramic photos from the best viewing point, and learn how each stone tells a story of human brilliance.
Travel south to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, Egypt’s earliest pyramid and a masterpiece of ancient innovation. Walk through sacred corridors decorated with vivid hieroglyphics, and discover newly opened tombs that reveal the daily lives of nobles thousands of years ago.
End your journey in Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt. Admire the colossal statue of Ramses II and the elegant Alabaster Sphinx, both preserved as tributes to Egypt’s golden age. Enjoy free time for photos and souvenir browsing before returning comfortably to your hotel.

Pickup Locations & Times
Set out from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, where your private, air-conditioned vehicle and Egyptologist guide will meet you. Your guide will greet you at your lobby (or a convenient nearby landmark) with a sign bearing your name, then help you board as you embark on a seamless journey through Cairo’s morning streets. Expect about 30–60 minutes of driving — during this time, your guide will share fascinating stories to set the stage: the rise of the pharaohs, the geography of the Nile, and how ancient capitals shaped modern Egypt. You’ll feel comfortable, well-prepared, and excited — and by the time you reach your first stop, you’ll already sense you’re in expert hands.

The tour was very interesting and our guide Khaled very knowledgeable. He was able to balance the times of the different stages, he was very thorough and helpful. Thank you!
Found them online with not much reviews, I really took a risk booking with them. Maro communicated with me swiftly before the booking the tour and really helped me understand everything and made me felt comfortable booking with him. Maria was the tour guide assigned to us. She was great and tolerating of our ignorance and showed high understanding of Egyptian history. Our driver Ahmed was awesome, I love hanging out with him!!! Great people over all, would love to book with them on our next Egypt trip to Luxor!

At Egypt Planners, Maro and the entire team always aim to provide clear, honest, and fast responses so our guests can book their Egypt tours with peace of mind.

She truly loves sharing Egypt’s heritage in a friendly and respectful way. And Ahmed will be very happy to hear your kind words—he’s not just a great driver, but a big part of making our private Egypt tours relaxed, safe, and fun! Thank you for taking the “risk” and discovering us 😊 Your experience means a lot to our growing community of travelers looking for authentic, well-organized private tours in Egypt. We would be absolutely honored to welcome you again on your next adventure especially for a Luxor tour, the temples, and the Nile experience.
This was our first time in Egypt and we had a wonderful time. We were promptly picked up from the airport by the driver and another member of the team. They helped us get through customs quickly and provided the visa. From there we were taken to the hotel and started our tour the following morning. Maria was our tour guide and Ahmed was our dedicated driver and both were excellent. Maria knew so much about all the locations and was patient in explaining all the history and details to us. She would repeat the information till we understood and would quiz us later which I truly enjoyed! She was very kind, attentive, and had a great personality. She would recommend places to eat after our tour and ensured we felt comfortable the entire time. I was thoroughly impressed with her vast knowledge. It was a pleasure spending 4 days with her. Ahmed was our driver and he was extremely skilled navigating the busy streets all throughout Egypt. He was a gentleman, always opened the door, brought snacks for us and always had a smile. Part of the tour is visiting historical sites and part is going to government certified educational tours where you can purchase souvenirs after. There is no pressure to buy, the choice is yours but be prepared that is part of the tour. We did end up purchasing different items and regret nothing. We enjoyed the entire experience. I would recommend this to my friends and family and hope you chose Egypt Planners for your trip!
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review — we’re truly happy your first time in Egypt was such a wonderful experience with Egypt Planners. We’re glad the airport pickup and arrival support (customs assistance and visa help) made your landing smooth and stress-free, and that everything flowed nicely from the hotel transfer to the start of your tour the next morning. A special thank you for mentioning Maria and Ahmed. We’re proud to hear Maria’s knowledge, patience, and fun guiding style made the history come alive (we love that you enjoyed her little “quizzes”!), and that Ahmed helped you feel comfortable and well cared for while navigating Cairo’s busy streets — snacks, smiles, and all. We also appreciate your balanced note about the educational stops and souvenir options. Our goal is always to keep the experience respectful and pressure-free, while giving guests the choice to explore local crafts if they wish. Thank you again for recommending us to your friends and family — it truly means a lot. We’d love to welcome you back to Egypt anytime!
We spent two days in Cairo with Egytologist Maii and it was excellent. We visited the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, Memphis and Dahshur. We were moved by her passion for all things ancient Egypt and very impressed with her knowledge and her first rate communication skills. She made it fun and educational (not an easy thing to achieve). I wholeheartedly recommend Maii and Egypt Planners. Noel and Jason

We spent 10 days in Egypt with Maro and Egypt Planners and I can tell you that we had really well time. Everything was well organized and our main occupation was just to relax, have fun and visiting wonderful places. We had private transportation from airport to hotel and to historical sites. In our days, we were accompanied mainly by two great Egyptologist guide, Mr Doma and Mr Hamdy: their knowledge and passion really surprised us, moreover they were very friendly and nice and helped us in any situation! In Cairo the choose for us an hotel that was new and comfortable, with a wonderful on Giza Pyramids! The cruise in the Nile was just amazing and 5 stars, very comfortable and with delicious and various food. In our last day, Maro wanted to meet us personally: he is a very gently and friendly guy! We came back from Egypt not only with eyes full of wonderful places, but also with new Habibi friends. We can just highly recommend Egypt Planners!

Amazing experience with a friendly guide D who formatted the tour as we had asked. Very professional but also fun. I am a big traveller and normally I do everything independently, but Egypt is one of those places where I believe you really benefit from a private guide. Just trust that they know what they are doing and enjoy the experience

It's great to know that our tour guide made your experience both professional and fun. We completely agree—having a local guide in Egypt can enhance the experience.
