Tour
We had a great guide and driver Mohammed Nuredin. He was very nice and a great driver. We are happy that we could spend the day with him
Good route
The agency was super friendly, the driver was very friendly as well, always watching for him to be okay, however the guide was not my like, everything he did to the races, it seemed that he did not enjoy being a guide, and in the end he tipped that he clearly did not deserve it and it bothered him that he did not give it. Despite that mishap, the agency offers a very good Service, the route is excellent to go from luxury to Aswan and meet along the way. Very good option, considering it is an all day trip. The feluca at the end of the day was the cherry on the cake, what an amazing moment, what a sublime, unsurpassed experience, I love very much.
Very nice Luxor.
