These tickets made access to the Giza Plateau really easy - but beware of the self appointed guides ripping off tourists

A fantastic experience. A stunning archaeological site and a must-see if you're in Cairo. With my ticket booked through Headout, I skipped the line at the entrance to the pyramids without waiting a second (I recommend doing this because you can waste a lot of time at the entrance since there are tourists from all over the world, which automatically leads to lines to buy tickets). I almost forgot to mention the exceptional punctuality and kindness of the local driver who picked me up at the hotel. In addition, I had admission to the Pyramid of Cheops, which is definitely worth it. I never had any issues with the tickets; they were accepted immediately and sent promptly via WhatsApp and email. Highly recommended for a trip where you don’t waste hours—time you can use to explore the city or the archaeological site instead.

If you love ancient Egyptian history, this place is for you. It’s a place brimming with history and beautiful scenery, and it’s home to the oldest recorded pyramid built in Egypt. Plus, it’s easy to get tickets on this platform—just show up, present your ticket, and skip the lines to buy it on-site.

We decided to take this tour with a private guide so we could add a couple of extra stops. Our local guide, Manal, got in touch the day before to confirm everything (the time and meeting place). She was punctual and well-prepared to lead our group on a tour of the sites we’d chosen. She was friendly and always ready to answer any questions we had. Always smiling and ready to snap a few group photos for us to make our day unforgettable. We can’t thank her enough for giving us such a magical experience. A tour worth taking whether you’ve never seen the pyramids before or are returning—you always learn something new. Thank you, Luna Travel, and thank you, Manal. Your group from Italy....Russell, Viviana, Mario, Antonella, Marco, and Anna.

A wonderful two-hour cruise on the Nile, with warm and engaging entertainment. All the dances were beautiful, from belly dancing to the whirling dervishes. Delicious buffet food with an excellent selection of desserts. Our driver, Mohamed, was extremely kind and helpful; he waited for us outside the cruise to take us back to our hotel in comfort. Highly recommended!

A wonderful museum. I felt very comfortable there. It would be nice if the artist whose work is displayed in the corridor were introduced. I really enjoyed those paintings! The museum shop is well-stocked. A walk to the lake would be great!
