My husband and I traveled from very far (Trinidad and Tobago) yes the info was appreciative but we wanted to some free time to take pictures and savor the moment! The pyramids was the last stop we decided to leave the group and explore on our own! Other than that it was great! Our guide knows his history but need to find balance in giving info and allowing free time!”
