Great Tour, but Flights Need Improvement

Kunihiro_Y, Mar 2025

The tour itself was wonderful — well-organized, to the point, and covered all the key sights in Luxor as expected. However, the flight schedule was a major downside. The outbound flight was at 5 AM, and the return to Cairo wasn’t until 1 AM the next day. Considering the actual tour lasts only about six hours, including lunch, a more reasonable flight schedule would be highly desirable. Personally, I managed to book a local three-star hotel for day use at an affordable rate, which provided some comfort while waiting for the late return flight. Overall, the experience in Luxor was fantastic, but the long gaps between flights could definitely be improved.

Disorganize Tour Company

Jose_V, Mar 2022

Very disorganize company. Poor management. This was a private tour. They picked us up at the hotel in Cairo at 4:30 a.m. to drive to the airport. The tour finished at 5:00pm and the return plane ticket to Cairo provided by the tour company was at 11:45pm. The flight was delay until 12:30am. We had to wait in the airport for more than 7 hours. The tour guide in Luxor was good.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Dear Mr. Jose. First of all we would like to thank you for your feedback, In the tour itinerary is mentioned that the flying back to Cairo is according to the availability of the tickets plus you might to fly back at 07.00 pm but the Egyptair cancelled the flight and rescheduled it to be late, we waited your feedback to mention that we provided all services and itinerary and a complimentary tour in Luxor temple which is not listed in the program. The schedule of the flight is not In our management, it is regular flight and it can be late or delayed or even cancelled. Thanks for your feedback and we wish for you the best
