Wir hatten eine wunderschöne private Tour durch Luxor und unser Guide Zizu war wirklich ein absoluter Schatz: total sympathisch, mit richtig guten Tipps, einem guten Deutsch und wir haben uns einfach rundum wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Es war ein richtig toller Tag und eine wunderbare Erfahrung!

Rushed. Guide seemed uninterested compared to the one we had in Cairo who was very passionate and gave us more time. This guide mostly rushed through and didn’t really want to be there. Also we had two 70 year olds in our group he kept telling to hurry up. We also didn’t get to see the tomb of King Tut as he said there was no time and we had to pay more…literally the main attraction. Wasted time in shops trying to sell us things we did not want which he clearly was getting a commission…Very poor. Recommending Magic Tours Egypt- Ahmed Halem instead.

Tour startete um 5:00 vom Hotel nach Luxor . Fahrzeit durch die neue Autobahn nur drei Stunden . Kurz vor dem Tal der Könige haben wir unseren Guide abgeholt. Er war sehr kompetent, hat uns viele Infos gegeben , aber wir hatten auch immer wieder Zeit uns selbst was anzuschauen. Er sprach auch super deutsch. Die Tour war super durchgeplant und der Fahrer war immer direkt zur Stelle wenn wir mit einer Attraktion fertig waren . Mittagessen in Buffetform in einem Restaurant direkt am Nil, auch alles lecker . Zurück waren wir dann gegen halb fünf an der Makadi Bay . Ausflug absolut zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank
