Step by Step

Get to know in depth one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing: the Pyramids of Giza. This free tour offers you a complete experience at the heart of the Pharaonic legacy, accompanied by a guide with a passion for Egyptian history.

You will begin by visiting the three main pyramids of the complex: Cheops (the Great Pyramid), Chephren and Mykerinos, exploring their history, purpose and construction techniques. Your guide will explain the differences between them and the theories that still surround their existence.

Next, you will approach the Temple of the Valley, where it is believed that mummification rituals were performed to prepare royal bodies for their eternal life. This place, less known to tourists, is key to understanding the funerary process of Ancient Egypt.

The visit culminates with a close encounter with the majestic Sphinx of Giza, a half-lion, half-man creature whose gaze continues to impress those who gaze upon it. The guide will also help you find the best angles for your photos, ensuring that your experience is a memorable one.
