You travel by air-conditioned minivan with an English or bilingual guide, see the Sun and Moon pyramids, and return to the starting point. Expect plenty of walking, optional lunch, and possible gift-shop stops.

“Some interesting parts, particularly the pyramids. You need to know you're taken to a big gift shop as part of the trip. Had I known, I would not have bothered. It is a long day, 3-4 hours spent in a small van bus. The team that looked after us was friendly and explained carefully.”
