Experience and staff, driver and guide
Had a wonderful tour with the fabulous Mr Othman. Everything from pick up to hotel return was top class. He is so knowledgeable and funny and will insist on taking photos of you all day. We consider him part of the family now! Ask for his availability, you won't regret it.
Our guide Hala was amazing. Her knowledge, professionalism and care is unmatched!!
Hayam was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly & professional. She made the tour enjoyable & memorable
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Manal 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.
My first time in Egypt. I'm happy to book this tour. It was just right amount of information. The guide and the driver took care of everything. Enjoyed it a lot.
Our experience with Luna Travels exploring the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, the Great Egyptian Museum was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first minute to the final drop-off, this tour exceeded our highest expectations, and we cannot recommend it enough to anyone visiting Cairo. The day began perfectly with a punctual pick-up right at our hotel. From that moment on, we knew we were in great hands. Our driver deserves a special mention: navigating the legendary and hectic Cairo traffic is no small feat, but his expert, smooth, and pleasant driving made us feel entirely safe and comfortable throughout the day. The true heart of our journey, however, was our phenomenal guide, Dr. Prof. Othman. It is rare to meet someone who combines such an encyclopedic knowledge of Egyptology with profound humanity, kindness, and genuine courtesy. As we stood before the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and especially in the Museum (and also in the mosques; see below), Othman didn't just recite dates and facts; he brought ancient history to life with captivating narratives, effortlessly answering every complex question we threw his way. His passion for his country’s heritage is infectious, and his gentle, attentive demeanor made us feel like honored guests rather than just tourists. What truly set Luna Travels apart was their incredible flexibility. During the tour, we asked to modify our itinerary to include a visit to two historic mosques. Instead of treating this as an inconvenience, Othman and the team handled it with absolute grace, finding an elegant and seamless solution that integrated the stops perfectly into our schedule without making us feel rushed. Even the practical elements of the day were great. The included buffet lunch was good, offering a great variety of fresh, local flavors that gave us the perfect energy boost for the afternoon. Time completely flew by, a testament to how engaging and beautifully paced the entire day was. We left with unforgettable memories and a definitive certainty: we will absolutely be returning to Egypt, and we will undoubtedly book with Luna Travels again. If you want a seamless, deeply enriching, and deeply human travel experience in Egypt, look no further. Request Othman, sit back, and enjoy the magic.
It was a pleasant day tour luckily for us the weather was kind and the tour guide was kind, gentle, professional and knowledgeable with interesting insights on Egyptian history. The Grand Egyptian museum is beautiful and money well spent. Will definitely recommend her. Loved it!!!
This was the best experience ever! We saw the Pyramids, Sphinx, shopped and ate a nice meal. It was a great day and we felt very welcomed by our guide Abdo. He made the day so much fun and helped us plan to maximize the amount of stuff to see in our small time frame. He is very knowledgable and made our day seamless. It was very affordable as well. When we visit again, we will absolutely return and request Abdo.
I HIGHLY recommend booking a tour through this company! Abdo was our driver - he is an absolute pro, and it was wonderful getting to know him. He is friendly, professional, and an all-around delight. We were connected when we booked a cruise on the Nile - none of us expected him to keep sticking with us afterwards, but he made our itinerary of seeing the pyramids, shopping, finding a restaurant, and touring the museum completely seamless. We had a wonderful time here in Egypt, and I fully intend to return as soon as I’m able!
Abdo was such a good guide. He gave us great tips and took us to do fun local things. He made Cairo feel easy and seamless. He also gave us a lot of interesting information about Cairo and Giza.
We could not have found a nicer or more knowledgeable guide than Ibrahim for our family of four. Our tour of the pyramids was unforgettable!
Hayam is a superb guide, speaks excellent English and really conveyed the richness of Egyptian culture with her extensive knowledge. This is a tour full of sights and artefacts (pyramids, Sphinx and GEM) and Hayam manages to get the balance right, always maintaining your interest. It was a wonderful day, thank you! Gareth
booked a one-day tour with Luna Travel Egypt, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I visited the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. I was accompanied all day by a professional tour guide named Ibrahim Amer, who explained everything in a very clear, detailed, and engaging way. Thanks to him, I learned a lot and truly enjoyed every moment of the day. I was especially amazed by the Grand Egyptian Museum and the incredible artifacts displayed there. The recent renovations and major developments in the Pyramids area made the visit even more enjoyable and comfortable. The company also provided a private car with a driver, who picked me up, took me to all the sites, and dropped me back safely, which made the whole experience very smooth and relaxing. I highly recommend Luna Travel Egypt to anyone planning to visit Egypt during this period. If you want to truly enjoy the greatness of the ancient Egyptian civilization with high-quality service and excellent organization, this company is a perfect choice.
Visiting the Pyramids was an unforgettable experience and truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Seeing these ancient wonders up close was absolutely breathtaking and beyond anything we imagined. What made the visit even more special was our tour guide, Mahmoud. He was amazing—extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about Egyptian history. He explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tour. Mahmoud’s professionalism and friendly attitude truly elevated the entire experience. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Mahmoud as your guide.
Incredible experience in Giza, and in Cairo. Great and knowledgeable guides. They’re always on time and we were able to cover everything with such efficiency time wise. We’re coming back next year and we’ll get more excursions with this company for sure
I really enjoyed the experience, thanks to my tour guide Reda who gave me a lot of interesting information about Egypt and the pyramids, he is really nice and friendly, he speaks English and French, thanks to the nice driver Islam also, my visit was amazing, I recommend+++
We were there for three days, ending our journey in Cairo after visiting Turkey. We broke this tour up over two days - 7-12 to avoid the afternoon heat. Communicating with Luna was very easy via Whatsapp, especially since we had to customize our trip. The price was reasonable for an A/C car with a driver and and an Egyptologist/tour guide. Of course, our tour guide Othman, was very kind, patient and knowledgeable about the history and knows his spots and how to get us to experience the Pyramids so we have a great time. He even guided us on who to tip and how much so we didn’t feel hassled or lost. He would fill dead travel time with knowledge of Arabic so our teens could learn a new language and shared details about mummies we missed on our trip. I would highly recommend Othman as your tour guide, especially if traveling with family. You can ask for his service by name when booking with Luna.
The Great Egyptian Museum was amazing, it is definitely a must do. Our guide Othman was punctual, knowledgeable and very humorous. He passed on lots of valuable knowledge
We really enjoyed our tour. Othman was a great guide, very knowledgeable and took fantastic photos. We paid a little extra to go into one of the great Pyramids. Lunch was great - very tasty. Be prepared for a little retail therapy as part of the tour! Good value for money.
Brilliant tour, Saqqara was just magical. Visited inside some of the oldest pyramids, really good fun. Helpful guide, a bit quiet but actually nice to be able to wander about on our own and take it all in. Our guide and driver was very professional and gave us water all day. Lunch was fantastic. Would definitely book again. Luna we're outstanding, we also booked transfers to the Egyptian Museum through them and when my daughter was ill on our trip the driver was sent to collect us within minutes and offered assistance. They are a great company, we will book again next year.
The experience has been incredible. We hope more people have the same opportunity to meet such beautiful places. Ibrahim helped us with everything we needed and was self-explanatory. He answered all the questions we did during the trip. We recommend the trip and Ibrahim.
We visit Giza,Sakkara and Dahshur and had a really great time in Cairo thanks to Luna travel . Hasan and Mahmoud are both great. Hasan is very good driver ,we feel safe all the time and Mahmoud is great guide he explain us all the history and took a thousand of pictures for us. Both are friendly so we really feel relaxed to ask anything . They took us for the lunch in nice restaurant , food was nice . They really made our day great!
My guide Othman made sure I’d have the time of my life! He was incredibly knowledgeable, well versed, kind, considerate, speaks perfect English and had a wealth of experience. He taught me so much about the history and culture of Egypt. He also took great photos which I was happy to look through after the tour. Musa took care of the driving and did a superb job as well always staying calm and in a good mood. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the tour and it’s a day I’ll remember for the rest of my life! Thank you so much Othman and Musa! Also the booking agency Luna Travel are very responsive. I recommend this tour to everyone 10/10.
Othman made this day incredible! It was one of the best tours we've taken anywhere. The driver and car were professional. We had plenty of time at each spot. Othman knows everything about Egypt and is revered by the other guides. He takes his time and you can tell he really wants you to enjoy and understand his culture. The included lunch far surpassed expectations as well! Highly recommend!
Great tour! I enjoyed every bit of it. Be ready, going inside the pyramids can be a leg workout. But it's worth it! Listen to the tour guide, he helps with knowing local customs. Especially with the tipping. You can get a bit pressured, but tour guide will help. I love it.
Our trip to Cairo would not have been the same without Luna Travel. In addition to the Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, Saqqara, & Dasour tour, we also ended up booking with them a tour of the Citadel and Coptic Egypt, Guided tour of the Egyptian Museum, and they even helped us secure a last minute felucca boat road after a member of our group said riding on the Nile was a must-do for them. We had the most *amazing* tour guide, we couldn't have gotten better information from a university lecture. It was like night and day having him around. Once our guided tour of the museum was over, we tried to walk around and look at more on our own, but it wasn't even close to as fascinating as he was able to give such elaborate detail on so many of the relics, and their historical significance, symbolic meanings, etc. We would absolutely highly recommend Luna Travel for your visit to Cairo.
We really had the best guide in Osman, he was very generous of our time and even went out of the way for us for a couple activities outside of the tour! He is very experienced and told us stories in depth about the pyramids and learned a lot through the entirety of the tour from him! Words cannot explain his professionalism and drive for showing people who want to learn about the culture! He is also snapped wonderful photos that we will have forever from a lifetime, definitely made our trip to Egypt a great start!
The tour was perfectly organized, pickup at the hotel and moving from place to place with personal driver, the guide was also competent, honest and never boring. Totally recommended, 5 out of 5 stars!
The guide and the driver took us to see and enter 5 pyramids and to see the sphinx it was awesome! We took amazing pictures and the guide also proved to be a good photographer. This is an excellent tour!
Perfect experience. We booked private guide to pyramids, great pyramids entrance, camel drive and quad drive. They come to our hotel in cairo center with a great car with driver and private guide who talks our language (italian). Really good experience
The tour was incredible. The guide was very knowledgable and the driver very professional. I definitely recommend this tour with Luna Travel Egypt.
Ask for your private guide in Spanish, it is much better, they provide first-class service, I wouldn't have managed without them, I was going for a trip and ended my three days with them and we did more than I thought!!
The stay went very well thanks to Adel. He was our guide for two days and gave us a very comprehensive tour of Cairo. He speaks perfect French and is a true encyclopedia when it comes to Egypt. Everything in his explanations was fascinating! More than just a guide, he was an unstoppable support when we had a problem with our hotel. He managed the entire tour itinerary, which we really enjoyed, at our own pace. We recommend him 100%.
Our guide Adil was once again impeccable with us. We met him last year and we called on him again this year. He is an extremely kind person who helped us throughout our stay, whether for the tours (Adil is a well of knowledge) or for resolving our various problems (he helped us find a new hotel following a scam on booking.com, he found us a superb replacement car following a scam by our hotel); in short, he was always there for us and always looked out for our safety. We therefore recommend Adil more than 150%. He is a trustworthy person!
Great tour!!! Maral an exceptional guide!!
We had an absolutely fantastic day trip to the pyramids and the GEM! Everything was perfectly organized and just unforgettable. Seeing the pyramids live was breathtaking and the Grand Egyptian Museum incredibly impressive. Our guide spoke excellent German and explained everything so excitingly, understandably and with a lot of knowledge. You really felt his enthusiasm for the story. He answered all our questions and made the tour very special. An all-round great tour – highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a day tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum with Othman. He is a very experienced guide who really has extensive knowledge. That was very impressive. You can highly recommend it. Really great 👍
Well-organized visit, local guide Mr. Tarek, very nice and efficient, spoke a decent Italian. In the end we saw almost everything in about 3.5 hours .. then we were offered lunch in a typical Egyptian place.
A very nice day where we discovered the emblematic sites of Giza but we also discovered less touristic sites. Many thanks to Reda (French speaking guide) and our driver for their advice and good mood
The guide was very nice. He showed us places where there are fewer tourists and visits not planned in the tour (papyrus, carpet factory)
We booked two tours with Luna Travel, one a day tour to the Giza pyramids and one day tour of Cairo (Coptic Virtel, several mosques, bazaar). They offer a great service and are very helpful. You feel very well taken care of!
Reda was a great Guide, very kind and who spoke French for the three of us. We learned a lot about the pyramids and the history of Egypt
Top notch, superb organization, hotel pick-up, driver and private guide. Thank you Luna travel for this experience.
An experience not to be missed Reda is my guide for the day, a wonderful person. He is respectful, kind, cultured and very patient. He explains everything in detail We visited the pyramid of Dahsour, going inside was painful but it's not regrettable then we took a little tour and on the way to the agency's partner restaurant In the afternoon I visited the pyramid of Giza and the interior too. Reda gave me useful and brilliant information Also gave me lots of advice He is also there to take beautiful photos. I had an experience with the camel Around 15 euros per hour there was a little tension between me and the owner of the camel because of the price he wanted to charge me a lot luckily Reda was there to calm the atmosphere and I thank him again I recommend Reda to ensure you have a great experience
