Taking the tipping over the top
Even though you pay for the experience you are expected to give tips to everyone, I'll explain:
Got picked by a guy with asked for a tip, then he dropped me and someone else came and took me to a boat to cross the river and also asked for tip, the boat guy brought out the tip jar, and then we got picked up by another driver that took us to a shop where they try to sell you spices and whatnots and offer "free" water or tea but want donations, then that same driver took us to the quad experience and asked how much was I going to tip him on way back, then the guy that took us on quad bike wanted to sell us scarfs plus at the end wanted tip because he took photos of us, on the way back driver took us back to shop , don't know why, maybe they expected for us to buy stuff , then took us back to the boat where he then asked for the tip, the boat people were different from the way in which also wanted/expected tip , the guy that then brought us back to the hotel asked how much I was going to tip him.
Overall there was about 6 people involved that all wanted tipping or sell stuff of some sorts.
I'm not the kind of guy not to tip but enough is enough and I'll never be using Viator or "Nice trips" ever again, just not what you want when you paid £110 for the experience for two, it did spoil it.

Horrible, to be avoided, because they are not professionals this is a big scam. Be very careful.
It was marked 2 hours on the site, they are very poorly organized, because I arrived there it was 5:30 pm. My pick-up was around 4:10 pm, I did 15 to 20 minutes of quad biking and it was almost night. By far the worst experience in Egypt, plus you have to pay the children by boat.

Quadricycle Tour
The driver picked us up at the hostel, on time. We got the instructions and then we left with the quadriciclos. We made a stop to climb a hill and take pictures. On the way we stopped in a tent and drank hibiscus tea. They were very attentive.

Complete Scam
COMPLETE SCAM! I felt like I was being held against my will.
They picked me up and drop me randomly off at a boat which I was already confused since that’s not part of the itinerary. Then drive me far away and after I was forced to tip them, they say the tour was cancelled and he tried to get me to go to some bazaar but after arguing I got him to take me back to my hotel. He blocked me from exiting the boat so I had to muscle my way off the boat.
Nice Tours should be renamed Nice Scams.
Luckily I am a big guy but if I was a solo female traveler, I would have been extremely scared.
I do not recommend this company. They should be banned from Viator.

Nice Tours Luxor
We were picked up from the hotel on time in a clean, air-conditioned car. The driver's name was Roman and was very polite and nice. We were driven to a bot where a very nice employee named Hesham was waiting for us. He accompanied us to the other bank of the Nile with a bot. Hesham was also very polite and went to great lengths. On the other bank he made sure we were picked up very quickly. The quad ride was very nice . Our quide was very nice and took time to explain everything to us calmly. It was a very nice day and my children were happy. Thanks to Nice Tours in Luxor.

Good experience eventually ... terrible organisation by tour company -- go elsewhere!
The actual Quad bike experience was great -- the team were great and spoke good English. The issue was with the tour company -- their communication skills were zero. We were picked up by a van but then driven 3 minutes to a quay and told to get on a boat which would take us to the experience in the desert. Obviously we questioned how a Feluca could do this. We got no answer as to how the boat was going to get to the desert. We said, just drive us there, rather than use a boat. We were told there was no bridge ... an obvious lie, as a) we'd been in coach that mroning over the river to the Valley of the Kings and b) you can see a bridge from where we were standing. Then we were told we could be driven there only if we paid another 25 dollars, as it was a long way. We went back and forth via text for an hour. Eventually, we were told the boat had a motor. We decided to go with it ... turns out it was a ferry, not a Feluka, that crossed the Nile and on opposite bank was a coach provided by the quad bike operator to take us to the desert. Apparentluy, this has happened before ... the aud bike owner was very frustrated that the tour company does not explain things and that results in clients arriving really annoyed ... like we did. The tour company could have explained on the website that it was a pickup , ferry to oppposite bank and then another coach ... but they didn't ..its not on the website / viator listing ... and the agent never explained it

Quad biking experience in Luxor
The good and prepared instructors, very patient and helpful, deserve 5 stars, they also provide a short break for tea during the route... as far as the agency is concerned, nothing to say about punctuality and the transfer... however, I didn't like the photo to promote the agency with the tag and the visit to the shop disguised as a stop for a drink... I recommend the experience itself both for the fun and for the welcome:)

Enjoyable activity,...
Enjoyable activity, seemed slow at first, but once getting into it, was worth going on. Private guide went at speeds and as long as one could keep up he kept up the pace, but if not he would take it at your pace... Thow I went as quick as allowed
