Great time with the fam, visited with my mom, sister, and husband. We went inside the Bent Pyramid and it was a little tough (though still very do-able). You have to go down a small tunnel 80 meters (stooping the whole way, but there are little ladder-like rungs so it's easy to not fall), then go up maybe 5-6 flights of stairs, then go through another tunnel about 8 meters that you must crawl through on your hands and knees (and you will get all chalk-dusty), and then up another 2 sets of stairs and then you're there! Anyway the guide was quite knowledgable, the tour did end about two hours earlier that advertised- I think this is because we opted to skip lunch and do that on our own after the tour, and because we declined going to some rug factory or perfume factory or something like that, I don't remember what it was that was offered. I didn't want to do any of those factory stops because I don't like to buy souvenirs, especially large ones. Anyway we all had a nice day!

A lot to see in a say but very do-able. Starting in Memphis with some time to meander around pieces and parts and then to Dashur for the Red and Bent Pyramids. Enter both and take a good look. Finally to Saqqara for Step Pyramid and surrounding structures. Also worth a look inside. Our guide was Michael and very informative. He moves fast for old folks but he’s great with questions. Farouk was driver and maneuvered around with ease. A great day and a good value. We finished early and ended up at both essence shop and papyrus shop but really no pressure at either place and I’m sure these add ons could be politely declined. A great educational day.

We had a most enjoyable time on this tour. Our guide, Mena was excellent. He happily imparted his knowledge in a humorous and informative way, and answering our questions. We had ample time to stroll around the various locations, accompanied by Mena to point out the things of note. My one criticism would be lack of air conditioning in our transportation, as promised.
