Very very good day. Memories to last. Guide is efficient and knowledgeable. Pickup and drop off without problems. Would rather not have had the shop stop offs (but understand that trips everywhere have these stops). However, even with shop stops still had plenty of time to see the big sights. A definite must do.

Value for money on this trip was excellent. What we received was offered at double the price with our holiday provider. I have used get your guide for multiple trips in various countries and have not been let down yet. The transportation was comfortable and it did not feel like a 5 hour journey to get to Luxor. The drivers, albeit very fast, felt safe and able. The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. Very welcoming and friendly. Lunch was fantastic, drinks weren't included but was expected as much. Enjoyed the additional Nile cruise for £13pp too. Thoroughly enjoyed. The only downside was we expected to be picked up at 4 - bus arrived at 5. Egyptian time!

Much better experience than Cairo, City of Luxor is much much less crowded and better looking for eye. would recommend taking a boat trip across the Nile, very nice experience. And don't forget to spin around the scarab in temple of Karnak! only 7 times, for a good luck :)
