Everything about this tour is wonderful. So well organised and carefully considered. Our guides, both in Cairo and Luxor were brilliant. They made us feel very special during our stay. Very knowledgeable and friendly, with Mahmoud in Luxor arranging some great extras at short notice, and Islam in Cairo making us feel especially welcome. Cairo and Luxor are beautiful locations with so many sights to see. Could not recommend more.
