“Amazing day visiting the sights of Luxor. We did a private tour which worked perfectly. We were picked up from our hotel in a private car which meant we could get to the sights quicker than on a coach trip. I especially enjoyed the Egyptian lunch on a private boat on the Nile and visiting Karnak. The whole trip was very well organised. It is an early start and a long hot day but is definitely worth it.”
