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.

Thanks to this tour organized by Headout, we had a truly memorable experience. Reda was exceptional: professional, attentive, and very knowledgeable, offering clear and interesting explanations about Egyptian history. The visits to Saqqara and Memphis were well-organized and enriching. The highlight was definitely the Giza Plateau, with its impressive pyramids and the Sphinx. The camel ride added an authentic and unforgettable touch to the day. The atmosphere was pleasant from start to finish, and everything went perfectly. A very well-balanced tour that I highly recommend, largely thanks to Reda.
