Very nice discovery
A dive into the Egypt of the Pharaohs. With our great Dodo guide. She was perfect in her explanations and listens to our desires.
We discovered extraordinary sites full of history and so well preserved thanks to surprising techniques (egg white or hyena drooling)
Thank you also to our driver with little care for us.
An unforgettable day

Great trip!
The tour was super organized, the riders were top, Shaban as a guide and perfectly guided through all stations, always had an open ear for questions and tips for us as a group.
We'll be back!

Lots of culture in one day, worth it
Shaban was a great guide. A lot seen in one day and in a good group with good bus with 15 people. This is great, only recommended in a smaller group. There was also always a supply of water bottles. Lunch was good, too.

You’ve been warned
After taking this trip I have been in touch with the operator FTS who have dismissed my complaint- not even discussing some of the points I raised. Disgusting.
So the good part first - the monuments you see on this tour are amazing even given the early start.
The bad- elements of this tour which are billed as optional simply aren’t. The Nile cruise which is billed as strictly optional was presented to the group as necessary as the traffic was bad in Luxor and otherwise we would be late for lunch. In effect it rendered the cruise compulsory (which of course had to then be paid for). We weren’t explicitly asked if this was ok with us. (See other reviews saying the same thing)
Later we were told we could have a coffee and use a clean toilet - partly true- these facilities were at an alabaster shop where you had to sit through their sales pitch.
Lastly on the way home the drivers picked off each couple in turn asking them to the front of the bus to sweet talk a tip out of them. Such a horrible atmosphere waiting for your turn.
It’s clear to me that this is the score in Egypt and that tips and tourist traps are part and parcel of it all. However all of this could have been handled so differently. Going on an organised trip with a reputable company is a way I hope to avoid such things.
I wrote to FTS directly and asked for the money back for the in no way optional cruise. They wrote back and said after a thorough investigation they had deemed that we were given the option. Case closed.
You’ll see Luxor in all its glory on this trip, but the price will be you’ll feel uncomfortable and be conned at every chance. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Disappointingly handled
The Egyptian monuments were awesome.
But the trip left a bad taste the mouth.
On booking, the trip description made it clear the boat trip on the Nile was optional but the guide (Nana) said that taking the bus would take too long to get to the restaurant for lunch thus making it compulsory, obviously at an extra cost which we had no choice but to pay.
She later promised that we could stop for a coffee and the toilet in fact we were driven to an alabaster shop where there was a toilet. Queue the hard sell. Again no escape.
Later the drivers of the bus picked off each couple one by one asking them to come to the front of the bus and attempted sweet talk obviously with the aim of getting a tip.
It’s Egypt im not so stupid as not to know the score but the point in booking an organised trip is precisely to avoid this kind of thing.
Being held hostage and not given the choice is simply not ok.

Attention to your health
Luxor is a fascinating and very authentic city, with an exceptional heritage.
However, air quality is a real problem: daily burning of garbage, especially at sunset, makes the air polluted and difficult to breathe.
A marked contrast between historical wealth and disturbing living conditions.

Don’t book Luxor trip with FTS Travels
Transportation didn’t show up, was told to be at reception 15 minutes before the pick up time, been waiting for over 2 hours, I asked reception if anyone had been to security and was turned away, nope no one had been. Driver was in contact with me and my partner but then all off a sudden stoped messaging us completely. We have lost out on our money and unsure if we will even get it back.

The bus arrived near...
The bus arrived almost an hour early , so how can we say that in the middle of the night we were sleeping, fortunately we managed to wake up because the pick-up time is not correct and it was for all the passengers of the bus.
If they tell you 3h30 be close before 3h...
Otherwise the experience is good but a little disappointing do not expect to see tombs complete with sarcophagi ..
It is full of people even at least from March, the cruise on the NILE is mandatory, they force us to pay 10€ more per person ...

Great memories
What an amzing exeperince!!! Couldn't thank enough FTS team for this fantastic trip. Everything was spot on from early hotel pick up to the drop off. We felt safe all the time, it was my gf 1st time in Egypt and she was worrying a bit but in the end she said she never felt so safe as with this team. Our driver was amazing and our guide Ahmed was fun and knowledgable guy. we had enough time for ourselves at Karnak and Valley of the kings. Free unlimited water during whole trip, tasty lunch, crisps and ice-cream-everything was included. Definitely greta value for money. I always try to support local business and these guys didn't disappointe. Will recommend them to everyone. Thank you for the amazing trip and great memories.
