Oh, great.

I'm not writing in forums but if it's good for you to make up your mind, don't hesitate. Today we made the excursion. It is the most complete trip for activities of all Tour Operators by far and as quality equal price: Entrance to Sakara with visit to Pyramid of Zoser (separate entrance but without queues) Included entrance to Pyramid of Unas, Teti II, mastaba of Kagemni and Serapeum. Then we set off to Darshur with Snefru's Red Pyramid and Elbow with entrance included. Exciting and indispensable! Private trip with our guide Emad with explanations in all places, unhurried, charming, with much more time than agreed. No group lines or wait. Food in Memphis in typical Egyptian restaurant included. A 10 in everything, I can't tell you hits pq there aren't any. Cheers.
