Traveler reviews
Terrible tour guide
The English speaking tour guide wasn't exactly English speaking and didn't give us any fact or information about the pyramid's, when he did have something to say he read off his phone to one person in the group and not addressing everyone with the information. There was ment to be the opportunity of entering a pyramid but the guide never offered us this experience and when we were in the museum he just wanted to rush us round and not let us stop and look. This was ment to be a once in a life time trip for myself and my children and we didn't learn anything or even get the whole experience.
