We had a wonderful experience with our guide during our visit to the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum.
She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind throughout the entire tour. She explained everything clearly and made the history of ancient Egypt truly fascinating and easy to understand.
A special mention goes to her excellent Italian: she spoke it perfectly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable and comfortable for us.
We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Cairo and looking for a great guide.

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.
