“Great tour company and tour guide - Second time using Luxor Travels. They were excellent. Arrived on time in a nice air-conditioned car. Our tour guide, Hassan, was extremely knowledgeable, energetic, and welcoming. He spent a lot of time explaining everything to us. He took our photos as well. We even got to go into those hard to access areas. I would highly recommend for those visiting Luxor. I wish we used them for our other tours.” (Reviewed at: 2022-09-21)
