Review (Reviewed on 2022-11-16): Wonderful Day Trip from Luxor - We organized this tour only the night before because we weren’t sure what to do with our last day in Egypt, but it was no problem. Everything was very upfront and went smoothly the next morning. The travel agent in our hotel, Hassan, was wonderful and walked us through all our options before deciding on this tour.
