The whole tour was perfect, from the organisation, the communication, the accommodation and the organised tours, drivers and guides, which were amazing. The transport was all great as well except the overnight train which was a nightmare, I'd definitely avoid that. We went from Giza to Luxor on the night train and it ust wasn't pleasant at all so we decided to fly back to Cairo on the return trip instead.Show more
