I have to unfortunately say that we do not recommend this trip. Over 400€ is a lot for Egyptian standards but it was our anniversary trip so we wanted it to be special. Transportation was amazing. The driver knew the town very well. He was an amazingly kind person. We laughed a lot and listened to Egyptian music. However we were super unsatisfied with the guide. He simply didn’t talk. And even when we asked a question he seemed irritated that he needs to answer. Many times he picked a phone instead without even apologizing. He was leaving us by ourselves all the time and setting a meeting point to which he was always late and we were panicking that we lost him. Wherever we were going he walked in front of us without waiting. Once I couldn’t pass a gate after him and he didn’t even realize I was gone. Unbelievably rude, impolite person. For the whole day I asked him to have a 5min coffee break but he said we don’t have time. However we had time to visit many shops of his friends.

Visit Luxor is absolutely wonderful and if you’re in Egypt is an experience you MUST do, but not with “Egypt escursion on line”. The guide didn’t speak a good Italian, so it was difficult to understand the explanation and was always trying to sell us something. The transfer was awful: 1. 2 drivers speak each other shouting from 5 in the morning till the arrival to Luxor and never spoke with us 2. They told us there were free water just after we baught it 3. The bus was dirty and very old (not luxury transfer as claimed) 4. We needed to wait for the 2 drivers during the stop (40 minutes to take a coffee!!!) 5. In addition we accompanied one of the two to take some documents for himself somewhere in Luxor 6. After the lunch we enter in the bus that was 60 degrees … I can continue….

Wir hatten einen tollen Tag mit einem sehr sympathischen Guide der auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen ist. Unser Fahrer war super, pünktlich und sicher und hat uns während der Fahrt bestens versorgt mit Essen und Getränken und guter Musik und uns auf dem Weg noch viel vom Land gezeigt und erklärt. Danke an Ahmed!
