Wonderful places, not very informative guide

Wonderful places, but the guide was not informative. We never got communicated what we would do or see, what to expect, the frame of what we saw (only a sequence of dates, sizes and dynasties which were difficult to make use of, even if I know a bit about Egyptian history). For example we were not warned that going inside the "bent" pyramid would have been so exausting (even if we enjoyed it). In Saqqara the guide had no idea about what would be open or not and we got to a site which closed 5 minutes ago. On the way to Dahshur we lost the way and had to backtrack several km: the driver had to ask twice in the street to find the way to the site. We got no satisfactory replies to our questions, only wikipedia-like short introductions for which you don't really need a guide. Otherwise fantastic places and the lunch was all right.
