Excellent well organised day

Excellent day. A long day yes, but well worth it. Pick up from the hotel was on time(Big plus for me) It was 3am and we returned back to our hotel at 9pm. The whole team was excellent. We had 4 pick up points on the way, then we had 2 pitstops for toilet breaks and leg stretches. On the journey and through the day water was supplied free of charge. Met our guide Nana who was excellent all day. Such a smiley happy person. Loved the photo book she had. Told great stories. Loved all our stopping points, the Nile ride was great (could have done without the loud music) Food in the restaurant was ok. I don't like the stop of selling places, but that's how they make a little extra. Found the stone carving demonstration very cringey. The way they all said things at the same time, was like trained animals at a zoo! Whole day was great, team excellent.👍👏 Remember it is very very hot at the valley of the kings😅

That was a fantastic day.

Our tour guide was fantastic. Shaban has an incredibly extensive knowledge of the history and the country. FTS can be proud to have such employees. We will definitely come back and look forward to a new trip. Thank you very much.

A long drive but worth it

Really good guide but never got access into King Tuts tomb…they said our names were not included on the list...! Other than that brilliant..make sure you bring your own toilet paper.

Very beautiful experience

Beautiful experience! Departure from Hurghada in an air-conditioned minibus at 3:40 AM, 5 hours of driving with breaks, and arrival in Luxor at 9 AM where the guide Shadia took charge of us. I recommend the short boat tour on the Nile; it is refreshing and very interesting! This excursion includes lunch, which is taken in a buffet restaurant near the banks of the Nile. The day was hot and tiring, but it is worth it!! Special mention to Shadia, who is perfect!

Organization is very professional.

Excellent organization; the journey is a bit tiring, but it is truly worth it—an unforgettable experience.

An unbelievable family experience.

An amazing once in a lifetime trip. We were apprehensive prior to this trip as we were taking our kids along (12 & 14) but the organisation and information provided by our guides on the day we needn't have worried. You get collected from your hotel and you travel to Luxor under your 'travel guide'. Ours was Khalid and he was great. When you get to Luxor you pick up the local guide who takes you round all the sites. Ours was Nahed Hsaher, she was amazing. So informative, her history was amazing, her local knowledge of Luxor was second to none and she was great with our kids. She took you step by step on what we were be doing next and what will be happening next. Being with the family she was constantly putting my mind at ease with the information she was providing. The sites themselves were all worth the heat and the long journey, they were out of this world. Ensure you have plenty of charge on phones and cameras because there are lots of photo opportunities. Your guides supply free water throughout the day (which is amazing), and take plenty of sun cream, hats etc as Luxor is a few degrees hotter than the coastal resorts you will go from. And finally take a little cash, there is an opportunity to catch a small boat across the Nile and purchase a few souvenirs. Like i said an amazing trip and i would recommend to anyone.
