Great Day Tour – Luxor is a Must-See!
We had a wonderful day with our guide Salwa. The day tour was excellent—well organized, informative, and really enjoyable. Luxor is absolutely worth visiting, with incredible history and impressive sights. Highly recommended!
Private tour, well worth it to avoid crowds. Definitely recommended
It was a great trip, great service and a patient and good driver. Got to Dendera at 7am when they opened, was quiet. Then got to Abydos abiut an hour after leaving Dendera, which was also quiet. Got to observe The Osidion too.
Best cultural day in Egypt!!
It was a very beautiful day tour!! Our guide, Selwa knew everything, she answered a lot of questions we had during our last days. We liked everything but Karnak was overwhelming beautiful!!! So nice! This is really a must-do!!!!
Fantastic trip to past!!
It was fabulous, they are amazing places, a little remote that makes them even more special, Dendera beautiful and Abydos super interesting, our guide Khaled very nice and elegant, all in white, is smart, very good Spanish, answered our doubts and took us without hurry through these fantastic places, then to the delicious lunch near the temple-tomb of Osiris, the Osiririon, an extraordinary place. The driver worked his magic to get around all the obstacles of the rough roads in Egyptian rurality which is also very interesting and beautiful. Very comfortable car where we could rest on the long drives with excellent Egyptian music!! Great visit!! Worth every penny!!! Thank you Khaled!!!
