On April 9th we went to Luxor from Hurghada. We loved the excursion, nothing unnecessary about it. The views are stunning, we recommend it to everyone. Our guide Nina was just wonderful, speaks fluent Russian, tells you all the most interesting bits, even cracks jokes, we'll definitely book again. The best price we found anywhere!
Hello, I went on the Luxor and Dendera excursion, absolutely thrilled, our wonderful guide Nina, so friendly and cheerful, tells everything in such an interesting way, very attentive to the tourists' time. Overall it was wonderful, so much care, attention and beauty! Thank you so much! I was scared right up to the last moment about not going with a tour operator, and it turned out to be 1000 times better than my trip to Cairo through Biblio-Globus, which cost twice as much because of the hotel guide's scare stories! Thank you so much for a wonderful day!
