Responsible company and supported throughout the tour process. We had problems with the car, which broke down shortly after leaving Luxor, but it was quickly resolved. Unforeseen events happen and the company resolved them quickly, so as not to compromise the tour. Private car and guide, which brought personal attention to the tour. The guide spoke our language, which made it easier to understand the historical part and all the details of the temples. I recommend.

Very worthwhile trip to the somewhat remote but not so crowded temples in Dendera and Abylos. impressive colored reliefs and monumental column architecture. The famous king list of Abyllos, the Zoddiac blanket. Definitely highly recommended despite the long journey. Our guide was also an archaeologist with a wealth of knowledge which he was happy to share. Thanks for this experience!🙋‍♂️
