Traveler reviews
Great
The guide was extraordinary. We loved the monuments and the history. It was great. I recommend for sure
Top notch
It was a lot of fun! It was a great day, lots to see and learn. Food and drinks were also provided. There were also enough breaks and opportunities to use the restroom. All in all, a great, exciting day with a very friendly tour guide!
Amazing and long day in Luxor
Nana was an amazing guide! So friendly and knowledgeable, she gave us all the information and made it so easy to understand. We were picked up at 3 am and it was a very long and hot day. But definitely worth!
Great Guide! Small bus.
Booked direct with FTS via WhatsApp. Communication was pretty good to get prices and availability. We had a small bus tour, we had 10 people in our group which was a nice number. To start, the best bit.... Nana, our local guide. A wonderfully engaging guide who told stories with gusto and a true passion for the history and people in it. If you get Nana, you will thoroughly enjoy Luxor and the Valley of the Kings! We happened to have 1st pick up from our hotel, so it was an early start at 3am, it was then 1.5 hrs before we had everyone on board and actually started the journey to Luxor from Hurghada. We didn't wait too long at the state checkpoint. The bus however, was older and small and very cramped. I'm not tall and my knees were pressed against the hard seat in front. Seats were fixed in a semi-recline which was also uncomfortable to just sit up. This was the worst part of the trip (but also accounts for a big part of the day with the 5-7 hrs on board for the main journeys with stops/pickups). The drivers could be a little more informative with information about journey times/stops/checkpoints so you know what to expect and when you are likely to have a toilet break. Final point to note - just be honest with the tour description! We had 2 separate stops to "nice toilets". Both of which are tourist shop traps - a spice store and an alabaster store. While we had plenty of time during our whole day and didn't feel too rushed, over 30mins at these eat into your day. Just tell it like it is. The Nile boat is mentioned as optional at €10pp. We did not feel pressured into this, but was a nice change to the cramped bus. Some of our party did not take the boat but stayed on the bus to get to the lunch stop. Lunch was adequate, small buffet offering. Toilets here weren't the best. Key takeaways: - Fingers crossed you get Nana as your guide (in photo) - Be prepared for a cramped bus - Expect to be taken to tourist shops - As everywhere in Egypt, toilets are hit and miss, always carry wipes/toilet roll and small notes (usually 20le) to use the loo. (Again might have been helpful for drivers to tell you this before getting off bus at the services.)
Super trip!
