The trip was amazing!! 100% worth it, the bus was well equipped with cold water and ac, seats were comfy we visited so many sites each of them was unique, and our guide Nana was just perfect!! She explained all the history of the places we visited so well, very informative she answered all our questions and even our trip was long she made it so smooth!! We paid all the entrances upfront but you can pay in cash when you get there and it’s cheaper. I would recommend to bring lots of snacks as the prices at the shops are so expensive! Overall a must do activity!

It was good! It s a total of 10h trip with that bus (back and forth) so that's the most challenging problem. Luxor si very nice and has many things to offer to the tourists! They say that the cruise is optional, but once you get there ... is mandatory bcs that's your transportation to the restaurant. It's either a 15 min boat ride to get to the other side of the river or 1h ride with the bus, but you would have time to eat. The food is terrible. Our guide was very nice and explained everything. Unfortunately you don't really have time for taking photos. The whole trip is a little rushed!
