Hello I did the trip to Geeza and The Nile. We had about 30mins to look around the Pyramids and no other time at all. I think it is the same for all Cairo based trips from what I have heard from other people.

the guide meets you on the coach and accompanies you throughout the day except ours lived in Cairo so she left on the way back from the pyramids and we were in the capable hands of the driver and armed guard for the journey back to the ship.

 

We did the museum with a guided tour then some free time in the museum before meeting outside to be led to the coach

 

We then went for lunch in a hotel near the pyramids. to get there you drive through giza and it is a real slum!

 

After lunch we visited the Pyramids and then got in the coach for the Sphinx. after the Sphinx it was to the papyrus demo and shop then back through giza to Cairo and then the ship.

 

Honestly i can't see any opprtunity for doing your own thing and unless you were a seasoned traveller i would not recommend being let loose in Cairo.
