Not recommend

Too rush! They did not want to bring me to see all the pyramids. I only saw Sphinx and not Memphis and Sakkara, because the tour guide claim its too far and no time, but instead they wanted to bring me to eat lunch and do souvenirs shopping, so they can collect commission from the vendors. I was a solo female traveler and the tour guide kept touching me. He even took my power bank and didn't return it.
