Traveler reviews
Great, pure culture.
Everything worked out great. It was all very impressive. Beware of the shopping stop. Gladly inform about prices for stoneware at bazaars before buying from the alabaster man.
It was a...
It was an eventful day in Luxor, with a very well informed guide (Ali). The tour was well organized, the bus to Luxor should have been even more comfortable (seat spacing and filling level). Somewhat disturbing are the additional costs, which were not transparently stated before booking. All in all but a wonderful day, recommendation!
Amazing day out
Incredible day out, we learned so much and it was rammed with things to see and do. I would highly recommend this trip, especially if you get Laila as your guide!
Luxor
Rana, was brilliant, very knowledgeable and answered all our questions , lived my dream by seeing tutankhamen tomb
Another great trip with Book Tour Egypt
Using Book Tour Egypt was a great choice. Communication was great throughout. Drivers were also great. I was not looking forward to the long drive to Luxor, however, driving along the Nile was really interesting and I really had my eyes opened as to how people live. We were met by our guide, Muhammed, in Luxor and his knowledge of the sites we visited was fantastic. Although it was a long day, it was fantastic and I'll gladly do it all again. Book Tour Egypt provide a great service and great value for money.
