Our family of 4 (teen and 8 year old) had a great trip with Karam as our guide in a small group of nice people. Early morning and long day, but we would do it again. Great trip for one day- saw all the highlights without feeling too fast- made it back to hotel in Makadi Bay for dinner! If we return, we would spend 2 days in Luxor. I was skeptical at first about the boat trip, but it was a fun add on.

5 out of 5 stars

The trip was amazing! So much is covered in just one day, exploring tombs and temples. The tour lasted 10hours and our guide was very helpful throughout. We had a very comfortable drive between places and an incredible authentic Egyptian lunch included! Would very highly recommend.
