“VIP experience - Picked up on time, knowledgeable driver, special expert guide for the archaeological side of the trip, both spoke perfect English. Free onboard WiFi, phone charging, and even complimentary snacks! We were given free cola, crisps, and even ice cream after we melted at Karnak. There were only 4 of us in a very comfortable minibus, so it was all very much like a private tour rather than a group.” - Reviewed on 2025-01-14
