Must see temples - I am so happy we stayed an extra day to include these two incredible temples with our memories. The main pyramids are amazing of course, but these are so detailed and full of room after room of gorgeous detailing that is just breathtaking. We definitely enjoyed them even more than the museums because of their authenticity. If you're even thinking about taking this tour the answer is yes. Lunch was included and was absolutely even better than our dinner the night before at our hotel.
