Full Day Exploring Luxor - We spent a one day trip in Luxor with our tour guide Laila. She was very knowledgeable and kind. She was able to answer all of our questions and gave us several pieces of information that we would have never learned had she not been with us. We visited Valley of the Kings and several other temples including the ancient workers community and their tombs. Our day was jammed packed, but it was worth while. My husband and I very much enjoyed ourselves. She was the best guide we’ve had in Egypt thus far! *****below is just FYI for travelers and is not in regards to our tour guide at all *** Be sure to carry small bills, such as $1USD or 20EP, as you will be nickeled and dimed by hustlers at the sites who “volunteer” to take your photo, or “give” you toilet paper in the bathroom. It’s a little excessive honestly. $20-$30USD in hustler fees.
