The guide Youssef told us very little about the Pyramids, Egyptian history etc. He didn’t seem much interested in guiding us. He sent us to look at the entrance to the largest Pyramid by ourselves while he smoked a cigarette. We didn’t go to the other two Pyramids. We looked at Sphinx over a wall, we didn’t even walk up to it. The employee leading our camels stole money from my wife’s backpack while we were taking pictures. We left the Pyramids after an hour to go to a papyrus factory, cotton factory outlet, bazaar (and intended to take us to a perfume store but we refused) to try to sell us over-priced souvenirs. We paid for a Nile lunch cruise but we’re taken to a restaurent near our hotel for lunch. Our five hour tour only lasted four hours and we learned very little about the Pyramids and Egyptian history. It was one of the worst tours we have ever been on. I can’t understand, Viator tours were so good in Paris.
