Entry fees are included in some options; lunch is available on the All Inclusive plan.Is it for me?Pick Car + Guide + Entry Fees to access all three pyramid complexes; choose Car + Guide Only if you want to explore exteriors without entering; add All Inclusive for lunch that breaks up the six-to-seven-hour day.
