We did the half day tour to the Dahshur pyramids, and it was great. Everything went smoothly, as we were able to visit and enter both the Red and bent Pyramids. Francis, our guide, even arranged for us to visit the Bent Pyramid's Satellite Pyramid. He also did a wonderful job providing the history behind the site so that we could really appreciate what we were seeing. In addition, he helped us with tipping etiquette, cultural norms, pointing out fossils and pottery fragments, and where (and how) to take the best pictures! All told, we had an extremely memorable experience.
Travel Tip: The day we went, the power was off at the pyramids. Luckily we had mini-flashlights and used that. I would recommend bring one if you take this tour. Also, don't let the lack of power deter you from entering the pyramids as it only adds to the "Indiana Jones" experience.
