I totally recommend this tour, I’ve made it and I was speechless. Luxor is made of history and if you can make the tour with the right people to guide you, with all the knowledge and passion, you will enjoy it like no other tour. For me, and I am an Egypt history fan, I could learn a lot and more important, feel how good is to absorve all the environment and enthusiasm with these good people.
