Excellent Tour, Great Time! - Laila (or Lily for short) was a phenomenal tour guide and a kind and calming presence amongst the madness of these stops! This was a solo tour and it felt like a friend showing me around. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the pieces in the Egyptian Museum in particular and had answers to all the questions I had. I opted into aspects like going inside the Great Pyramid (900 EGP) and a camel ride + pics ($20 negotiated down to $14), and felt good about there not being pressure to do these. We stopped at a nice Papyrus shop between the Giza Plateau and the Musejm (which I expected reading other reviews) as a look into how papyrus is made, with it mainly being an opportunity for the shop to sell you on a piece. Just go in knowing whether you intend to buy something or not (I did after haggling on the price) and kindly decline to purchase after the creation process demo if not. Lunch was at a local place, we took our time and had an awesome chat at a local cafe in the market. Throughout Laila was great at keeping us on track without rushing through, we went from ~10:30am to ~5:30pm. Great pics also. Would recommend!
