Sights were amazing, whole tour felt very rushed as It was only around 5 hours. Only got a photo of the step pyramid from the car and didn't even get to go up to the grand entrance and other moments around it.

Very good trip. Only thing I would say were to cut out all the factory and shop stops as it wastes time from exploring the sites.

This turned out to be a private tour for me. Very much enjoyed however the guide didn't know about the inclusions.

If I had the choice, I would not have put a star because SK tour did not pick us up at the meeting point agreed in the booking. We tried to reach him by phone, several times, to no avail. We were therefore unable to make the excursion, despite the payment already made. I do not recommend this agency.
