Instructive
The minivan trip was perfect, pleasant, and quick. Luxor was particularly hot, so dress accordingly and bring something to hydrate. The visits were interesting, and we had time to explore and take photos during our free time.
Great historic day, highlight of my holiday!
Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish great communication and good care also water in the mini van throughout the day.
The trip to Luxor was...
The trip to Luxor was fantastic. I highly recommend this minivan tour, as everything is easier in a smaller group. The drivers were extremely friendly, and everything went according to plan.
Good but long trip
Very good guide. Long (15 hours) in small van. Was forced to take trip on nile. Also pressured to visit alabaster factory and pressurised into buying something. Overall good trip.would advise to take plenty of water.
Just perfect!! 🤩
Luxor was an unforgettable experience for me. The city is full of history, beauty, and a special atmosphere. I was only there once, but that definitely wasn't enough – I really hope to come back soon. A big thank you goes to our tour guide, Mr. Aladin. You could immediately tell that he grew up there and does his job with real passion. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and had an answer to each of our questions. His explanations and stories made the whole tour even more interesting and lively. I can wholeheartedly recommend Luxor and especially a tour with Mr. Aladin to everyone. I am already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for everything!!🩷
